Fuel Tank: Description and Operation

Fuel Tank


The fuel tank is not symmetrical. The left half of the tank has a higher volume than the right side. There is a "hump" in the middle so that both chambers are separated from each other once a certain fuel level is reached in the tank. When the tank is half full, the left fuel pump is activated because the left half of the tank has the higher volume. The fuel pumps are each supplied by one sucking jet pump whose hoses are routed diagonally and which "helps itself" to fuel from the other half of the tank.
