SECTION I. General
4-1. General.
The fuel is stored in aluminum fuel tanks located on each side of the powerpack. Each fuel
tank has an electric fuel pump to provide fuel to the engine. The fuel is routed through
aluminum and steel fuel lines to a paper element fuel filter and then through steel
reinforced rubber hoses to another electrical fuel pump on the engine. The engine can draw
fuel without the in tank fuel pumps operating but they are needed as a back up system to
provide the fuel requirement of the AVDS 1790 engine.
