FUEL IMBALANCE/FUEL QUANTITY
BALANCING
AB operation is not recommended with
a fuel imbalance or with indications of
venting fuel.
Note
Fuel quantity balancing is not required
prior to completion of wing/external
tank transfer or until one fuselage tape
drops below 4,500 pounds.
WITH A FUEL STATE BELOW 4500 POUNDS IN EITHER
THE AFT/LEFT OR FWD/RT FEED GROUPS AND A FUEL
SPLIT GREATER THAN 1500 POUNDS BETWEEN THE
AFT/LEFT AND FWD/RIGHT FEED GROUPS:
1. Both throttles − MIL power or less.
2. FEED SWITCH − select high fuselage tape side.
Note
D If practical, obtain a visual inspec-
tion for venting fuel. Do not delay
execution of emergency procedures
for visual inspection.
D Indication of fuel balancing should
appear within 3 minutes of selecting
the high fuselage tape side.
D With a high quantity in the FWD/RT
fuel system, the greater static head
pressure, particularly in nose − up atti-
tudes can cause overfilling of the
AFT/LT fuel system and subsequent
fuel venting. To prevent this, the feed
switch should be returned to NORM
before the AFT/LT tape reaches 6,200
