Am jst curious to know whether are there any differences between the Fuel Tanks of different Aircraft Models other than the fuel capacity of the tanks.
Is there any change in the naming convenetions of the Fuel Tanks in different Models? For Ex. Tank 1, Tank 2, Tank 3, Center Aux Tank, Tail Tank … etc.
The details am interested in are…
Can I have uniform fuel loading computation that can be used irrespective of the models. For Ex. First, Load Fuel equally into Tank1, Tank 2, Tank 3 till Tank 1 & Tank3 is filled to max capacity.
Then, Load Tank 2 till it is filled to its maximum capacity.
Still, if U have remaining fuel to be loaded… load into the Center Aux and Tail Tank as per the GFS Ratio.
And fuel can be loaded to optional fuel tanks only in case the standard fuel tanks are filled?!
Kindly validate the above OR provide some reference to get information on theabove.

Does anyone know the ratio of airplane fuel consumption to ground fuel consumption? Also, what the **** is wrong with people these days isn’t there a way to get better fuel mileage than 6-7 gallons per mile on an airplane, when you’re traveling thousands of miles at a time?

I would like to know where I could find the switch that turns on and off the fuel pump, and how it looks like. My fuel pump is not running and I have just put a new fuel pump and a new main relay.

We all know that more weight requires more energy to move it. If a car has more fuel in it, it has more weight, hence more energy,hence more fuel required to move it.
Ignoring all other factors such as more trips to the fuel pump and driving conditions etc, how much fuel would you save by using to half tanks of fuel opposed to one full tank?
Lets assume a 50 litre tank and a car that goes to 35mpg (imperial gallon)

Fuel, in all forms, has been used since ancient times, right? In putting fuel of every form into consideration, namely: fossil fuel, geothermal, electric, hydroelectric, coal, wood, oil, etc…, How long could all these energy sustain Earth?
In a few years?
In a few centuries?
In a few millenia?
How long?

How much fuel is carried on an airplane? I saw a movie once where an airplane landed on a building and it did not burn up or the building fall down but with 911 airplanes the building went down. Is there enough fuel in an airplane for it to be use like a bomb? I really do not buy in to conspiratory theories. But I have been worring if it was more to it then this. So how much fuel is carried on a airplane? And could this be real?

We ship a lot of cars to other countries and it would be ideal to get all the fuel out of the tanks before we put the cars into containers. Most of these cars have filters in the fuel filler neck, so siphoning is not an option. I was wondering if it was possible to rig up a connection to the ‘air’ valve in the engine compartment (on the fuel rail) and turn the car on allowing the fuel pump to pump all the fuel out? Thanks for the answers and any other sugestions.
