nmcdaris Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Does anyone know the reason why Talon II has 2 dual level valves in the outboard 1 and 4 tank as opposed to 1 in a reg slick ? Is it something to do with it being a Uariss aircraft ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Wilson Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yep, you hit it on the head. All TCTO 1049 aircraft have duel float control valves in the outer tanks. This is because when you refuel inflight, the upbending of the wings will shut off the fuel too early to completely fill the tank so they ran a second valve assembly outboard to fill that upbent section of the tank.

yawdamper Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I thought the second fuel level control valve was deactivated with the replacement of the outer wings?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NATOPS1 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 On our aircraft the two valves are installed due to the increased weight of the IFR (AR) pod and hose. With the Pod and hose installed you activate the lower valve less gas and weight by the selector relay coil X1 maybe??? If you remove the pods you change the wire position on the relay and you select the higher valve and get more gas and weight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
