TM 5-6115-593-12TO 35C2-3-463-1Section XXI. MAINTENANCE OF FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY4-54.GENERAL. The fuel tank assembly (figure 4-33) is located at the rear end of the base assembly,under the control cubicle. It is equipped with two fuellevel switches and one liquid level transmitter.a.InspectionofFittings. Inspect elbow fittings(1, 2, and 3) for leaks or obvious damage.b.ReplacementofFittings. Remove fittings(1, 2, and 3) and install new fittings using sealingcompound (MIL-S-7916C).4-55.FUEL LEVEL SWITCH.a.Test. (See figures 4-33 and 4-34.)(1) Inspect the wires to the switch forsecure connection.(2) Inspect for loose terminals or othersigns of damage.(3) Remove connector from switch (4,figure 4-33) and remove switch fromfuel tank.(4) Connect ohmmeter (set on Rx1 scale)to pins A and B (figure 4-34). Moveupper float to upper stop at top of theswitch. Ohmmeter shall show opencircuit (no continuity). Move upperfloat down to lower stop. Ohmmetershall show closed circuit (continuity).(5) Connect ohmmeter to pins C and D.Move lower float to upper stop.Ohmmeter shall show no continuity.Move lower float down to lower stop.Ohmmeter shall show continuity.(6) Repeat test procedure (steps 3through 5) with second fuel levelswitch.NOTESwitch part numbers are located on unit.(7)If switches are defective, replacethem.b.Replacement.(1) Remove connector from switch andremove switch.(2) Install switch in the tank using sealantcompound and attach connector.NOTEBoth fuel level switches are similar. Besure to install in proper location on fueltank.4-56.LIQUID QUANTITY TRANSMITTER. Removeliquid quantity transmitter in accordance with paragraph4-56b prior to testing.a.Test. Connect ohmmeter between case oftransmitter and the transmitter connector pinas shown in figure 4-35. With sensing armof transmitter in lowered position (A),ohmmeter shall read between 0.00 and 0.90ohms and with sensing arm of transmitter inraised position (B), ohmmeter shall readbetween 29.8 and 31.3 ohms. Disconnectohmmeter. Reinstall transmitter.b.Replacement. (See figure 4-33.) Tag anddisconnect wiring and remove transmitter byremoving five screws (6) and transmitter (8),and gasket (7). Install transmitter on tankusing sealing compound (MIL-S-7916C).Reinstall gasket (7), transmitter (8), and fivescrews (6). Connect wires by securelypushing pin on wire into connectorreceptacle.4-90
