7.6 Normal Operations

7.6.1 Fueling

Fueling is accomplished through over wing fuel ports at each tip tank. When the fuel
level approaches the top of the tank, fuel is visible in time to shut off the refueling
nozzle. There is no automatic shutoff. If the tank is over-filled, fuel will overflow onto
the top of the wing.
The sump tanks fill first due to the positive wing dihedral. However, if fueling is
stopped before the sump tanks are full, gravity feed may not fill the tanks. In this
situation, the transfer ejector pumps will fill the sump tanks once the engines are
started. A L (R) FUEL QTY LOW warning message may be displayed briefly until the
sump tanks are full. The fuel gauging system is accurate during this time.
