DESCRIPTION
General
1. Fuel is carried in six tanks, three in each wing. Each tank is fitted with
an over wing filling and vent system, a fuel booster pump and a fuel gauge
transmitter. Each wing has a tank cock and each engine has a fuel master
cock. A crossfeed cock connects the port and starboard wing systems.
With the exception of the engine master cocks and crossfeed cock, the
controls and indications are on the Flight Engineer’s fuel panel.
