Fuel Storage - BOMBARDIER Challenger 601-3A CL-600-2B16 Pilot Training Manual

The airplane may be refueled over the wings
by gravity. However, the normal method is
through an adapter located in the right wing
root using a single-point pressure system.

FUEL STORAGE

Using a wet-wing concept, the entire wing box
structure is sealed to form three tanks, which
carry most of the fuel (Figure 5-1). Two addi-
tional tanks are fitted under the cabin floor,
fore and aft of the auxiliary tank, which is in
the wing center section. These tanks are inter-
connected with the auxiliary tank. A tail tank
will be fitted aft of the stabilizer rear spar.
The main tanks encompass the internal wing
volume from near the wingtip to near the wing
roots. There are 16 inspection and maintenance

access panels in the lower surface of each wing.
The gravity filler port for each main tank is lo-
cated on the upper outboard wing surface.
The auxiliary tank encompasses the entire
center section of the wing. There are access
panels in the lower wing surface. The auxil-
iary tank gravity filler port is located in the
right wing root just aft of the leading edge.
Contained within the auxiliary tank are two
collector tanks which are extensions of each
main tank. They incorporate the main fuel
ejectors and feed fuel directly to each engine.
Each collector tank is constantly kept full
with fuel from its respective main tank. The
standby electric fuel pumps are also housed
within the collector tanks.
