Pebbles Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 We have experience a few incident of LH Aux FQI went to off-scale LOW on two aircraft. When open tank and found the Fuel Qty Compensator cracked and dislodged. Subsequent check found the bladder cell actually collapse as the strings tie the cell to the structure have given way. Have anyone experience this. Can the Aux Tank pump pressure caused the problem when the tank is empty ie. the pump running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Skelton Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 The collapse can be cause by a pressurisation leak from the cargo compartment into the centre wing. I saw it happen on an RNZAF hers, was just a few empty bolt holes on the forward spar from a bracket or component which was no longer fitted I think? was a long time ago.
