Section XXI. MAINTENANCE OF FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY
4-54.
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 fuel
level switches and one liquid level transmitter.
a.
Inspection of Fittings. Inspect elbow fittings
(1, 2, and 3) for leaks or obvious damage.
b.
Replacement of Fittings. Remove fittings
(1, 2, and 3) and install new fittings using sealing
compound (MIL-S-7916C).
4-55.
FUEL LEVEL SWITCH.
a.
Test. (See figures 4-33 and 4-34.)
(1)
Inspect the wires to the switch for
secure connection.
(2)
Inspect for loose terminals or other
signs of damage.
(3)
Remove connector from switch (4,
figure 4-33) and remove switch from
fuel tank.
(4)
Connect ohmmeter (set on Rx1 scale)
to pins A and B (figure 4-34). Move
upper float to upper stop at top of the
switch. Ohmmeter shall show open
circuit (no continuity). Move upper
float down to lower stop. Ohmmeter
shall 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
3
through 5) with second fuel level
switch.
NOTE
Switch part numbers are located on unit.
(7)
If switches are defective, replace
them.
b.
Replacement.
(1)
Remove connector from switch and
remove switch.
(2)
Install switch in the tank using sealant
compound and attach connector.
NOTE
Both fuel level switches are similar. Be
sure to install in proper location on fuel
tank.
4-56.
LIQUID QUANTITY TRANSMITTER. Remove
liquid quantity transmitter in accordance with paragraph
4-56b prior to testing.
a.
Test. Connect ohmmeter between case of
transmitter and the transmitter connector pin
as shown in figure 4-35. With sensing arm
of transmitter in lowered position (A),
ohmmeter shall read between 0.00 and 0.90
ohms and with sensing arm of transmitter in
raised position (B), ohmmeter shall read
between 29.8 and 31.3 ohms. Disconnect
ohmmeter. Reinstall transmitter.
b.
Replacement. (See figure 4-33.) Tag and
disconnect wiring and remove transmitter by
removing five screws (6) and transmitter (8),
and gasket (7). Install transmitter on tank
using sealing compound (MIL-S-7916C).
Reinstall gasket (7), transmitter (8), and five
screws (6). Connect wires by securely
pushing
pin
on
wire
into
connector
receptacle.
