valve is closed, it is smooth with the bottom surface of the
wing. When there is too much positive or negative pressure
difference, the pressure relief valve opens, and part of the
valve is in the fuel tank. After the valve opens, it stays in the
open position. In the open position, the valve also is a vent
in the surge tank. You pull the reset handle to move the
pressure relief valve to the closed position.
For normal operations, you must make sure the pressure
relief valve is closed. An open pressure relief valve is a
symptom of a problem in the fuel vent system.

PRESSURE REFUELING SYSTEM -- GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Three fuel quantity indicators show fuel quantity in each tank.
Main Tank and Center Tank Refueling Control
Use the preselect switch on the indicator to set the quantity
of fuel to put into the tanks. The main tanks and center tanks
get fuel through the refueling shutoff valves.
Each valve has a solenoid that energizes when the refueling
control switch is moved to the OPEN position.
The valve opens if refueling pressure is available at the fueling
station. Fuel then goes to the tanks.
Each refueling shutoff valve closes when its solenoid de-
energizes. The solenoid de-energizes when the tank is full and
the float switch opens. It also deenergizes when the quantity
of fuel in the tank is equal to the preselected value. Then the
indicator removes power. Power is removed when the control
switch is moved to the CLOSE position.
Refueling Fuel Flow
When the refueling valves are open, fuel flows to the tanks.
Fuel flow to tank 2 is through a diffuser. The diffuser makes
sure that tank 2 refuels at the same rate as tank 1.

PRESSURE REFUELING SYSTEM -- REFUELING FLOAT SWITCHES
General
The refueling float switches prevent over-fueling the fuel
tanks.
The refueling float switches remove power to the refueling
valves when the fuel level in the tank is full.
The refueling float switches have a float that is in a cylindrical
container. When the tank is less than full, the float switch lets
power go to the refueling valve solenoid. When the tank is
full, the refueling float switch removes power to the refueling
valve solenoid.
The conduit contains a polymer protective liner material to
eliminate wire damage from chafing. The liner for the main
tank float switch conduit comes installed with the conduit.
The float switch and the conduit are a single LRU and must be
removed and installed together.
For the center tank float switch, the float switch can be
replaced separately from the conduit. A new liner has to be
installed whenever the conduit or the float switch is replaced.

FQIS -- TANK UNITS AND COMPENSATORS
General
There are 32 tank units in the fuel tanks. There are 12 tank
units in main tank 1, and 12 tank units in main tank 2. There
are 8 tank units in the center tank.
There is one compensator in each tank.
Tank Units
The tank units measure fuel volume. The fuel quantity
processor sends a low impedance excitation signal to the tank
units. The tank units send back a one high impedance signal to
the processor. This high impedance return signal is in
proportion to fuel volume for the tank.
Compensators
The compensators correct for differences in fuel properties.
The fuel quantity processor sends a low impedance signal to
each compensator. The compensators send back a high
impedance signal to the processor. This high impedance return
signal is in proportion to the dielectric of the fuel. The
dielectric of fuel is proportional to fuel density.
Each compensator is in the low point of its fuel tank. For most
operations, the compensator is below the fuel level. The high
impedance return signal from each compensator changes only
for differences in fuel dielectric.
