FUEL SYSTEM

GENERAL
All fuel is stored in the wings of the airplane. The tanks are an integral part of the wings and are
separated into a LH and a RH wing tank group with a maximum fuel quantity of 3 616 kg (7 972
lb). Each tank group has an inner, outer and a feeder tank either vented to the atmosphere
through outlets on the underside of each wing. Fuel flow is provided in one direction only by
flapper valves; from the inner tank through the outer tank into the feeder tank.

The top and bottom surfaces of the tanks are provided by the upper and lower wing skins and
the front and rear tank walls are provided by the front and rear spars of the wings.

The tank structure is provided with a protective coating against corrosion and biological
contamination.

The airplane is normally pressure refueled from a refueling receptacle on the RH wing. The LH
and RH wing tank groups additionally have a filler well for gravity refueling purposes.

TYPES OF FUEL
The fuel system will operate with Kerosene and fuels conforming to the specifications that
follow:

– MIL T 5624
– ASTM D 1655
– IATA GUIDANCE MATERIAL.

This includes additives in the fuel, or those additions permitted to be added to the fuel by the
specifications named above and also other additives approved for use in the engines.

Page 14
 Dornier 328Jet - Fuel

FUEL STORAGE

GENERAL
The fuel storage system consists of a separate wing tank group in the LH and RH wing which
supplies the related engine. A crossfeed system permits fuel supply to both engines from either
tank group. Each wing tank group with its inner, outer and feeder tanks is interconnected by two
flapper valves which allow gravity fuel flow to the feeder tank.

DRAIN VALVES
Drain valves are installed on the underside of each wing and permit condensed water or
residual fuel to be drained from the applicable tank. The vent outlet is located in the outer wing
area but within the lightning protection zone. These drain valves are also used to obtain
samples for fuel contamination tests.

VENT SYSTEM
Venting is provided to maintain atmospheric pressure in the fuel tanks during level flight and is
designed to prevent unacceptable pressure differences between interior and exterior of the tank
during climb, descent and pressure refueling / defueling.

The tank system is vented via a main vent line. The venting points are arranged in such a way
that inward and outward venting is possible in any flight attitude. Float valves prevent fuel loss
in extreme attitudes. The main vent line leads to the vent tank where fuel, which has entered the
vent system during certain flight maneuvers, is collected and then siphoned back to the tanks.

Pressure relief valves protect the tanks from unallowable pressure in case of failure in the
pressure refueling system.

The LH and RH vent systems are connected via a small bleed hole in the center rib. Thus
pressure equalization is also possible when a vent line on one side is clogged.

Page 15
 Dornier 328Jet - Fuel

FUEL TRANSFER AND FUEL FEED

GENERAL
Fuel transfer within each tank group is provided by jet transfer pumps in the inner and the outer
wing tank. These pumps supply fuel to the feeder tank to keep it in a full state during operation.

FUEL TRANSFER SYSTEM

The fuel transfer system enables fuel to be transferred between the inner, outer and feeder
tanks by a series of interconnected jet transfer pumps. These pumps are supplied with motive
fuel flow from the booster pumps. An overflow line transports excess transfer fuel back to the
outer wing tank.

The defueling sequence is as follows:

– inner tank
– outer tank
– feeder tank

For engine start, fuel will be supplied from an electrical booster pump in each feeder tank for
fuel transfer and engine supply. This pump is activated by an automatical pressure controlled
switch.

Page 16
 Dornier 328Jet - Fuel

ENGINE FUEL FEED SYSTEM

The engine fuel feed system installed in the feeder tanks consists of an electrical and two jet
booster pumps. The jet booster pumps are normally supplied with motive fuel flow from the
related engine fuel pump. Both jet booster pumps in each tank are designed to act as one main
pump assembly.

During the engine starting phase, X–feed operation, fuel low level operation, and upon jet
booster pump failure, the engine fuel pump is supplied by the electrical booster pump. When the
engine is operating, the high pressure output from the engine fuel pump is routed back to the
feeder tank to provide the jet booster pumps with motive fuel flow.

In this phase, the engine fuel feed system is self–supporting and the electrical booster pump is
automatically switched off but remains on standby (AUTO mode) should the jet booster pump
pressure output decrease below a certain level.

During normal operation, the LH wing tank group supplies fuel to the LH engine and the RH
wing tank group supplies fuel to the RH engine. If normal operation cannot be maintained, it is
possible to supply either engine or both engines from either the LH or the RH wing tank group.

ENGINE FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE (SOV)

A fuel shutoff valve (fire cock) is installed in each LH and RH engine fuel feed line. The purpose
of these valves is to shutoff the fuel supply from the fuel feed system to the respective engine.
This is required during normal or emergency shut–down.

The open/closed position of the shutoff valve is indicated on the FUEL control panel and on the
EICAS display and is activated via the relevant thrust lever or fire button in the fire protection
panel.

APU FUEL SUPPLY

The fuel supply to the APU is taken from the LH and RH engine fuel supply. Shutoff valves are
installed to isolate the APU fuel line from the main feed system after APU shutdown. The valve
operation is controlled via the APU MASTER switch.
During normal operation the APU sucks fuel from the LH and RH tank groups. If required the
APU can also be supplied from one tank group via the X–Feed system. However, the LH or RH
ELPMP (as appropriate) must be switched on during this mode.

Page 17
 Dornier 328Jet - Fuel

FUEL CROSSFEED (X–FEED) SYSTEM

GENERAL
The airplane is provided with a fuel crossfeed (X–FEED) system.

ENGINE X–FEED SYSTEM

The system enables the engines to be supplied with fuel from either one or both wing tank
groups.

The engine crossfeed system consists of the crossfeed valve and the crossfeed line between
the LH and RH wing tank group. The crossfeed valve is controlled by the X–FEED selector on
the FUEL control panel.

NOTE: 1. Setting the X–FEED selector to either side opens the X–FEED valve and turns OFF
the JETPMP and AUTO function of the ELPMP on the ”feed to” side.
On the ”feed from” side the ELPMP will be switched ON if AUTO mode is selected.
2. If a ”L – R FUEL PRESS” caution appears during X–FEED operation the relevant
ELPMP should be manually selected to prevent engine fuel starvation and
subsequently engine flame out.

REFUELING AND DEFUELING SYSTEM

GENERAL
The airplane is normally refueled via a single–point pressure refueling system. This procedure is
controlled on the REFUEL/DEFUEL panel, which is installed adjacent to the refuel adapter on
the RH wing. A remote REFUEL QTY switch is installed in the flight compartment on the center
pedestal. Additionally each LH and RH wing tank group has a filler well for gravity refueling.

PRESSURE REFUELING/DEFUELING SYSTEM

The fuel supplied to the refueling adapter on the lower side of the RH wing is distributed to the
LH and RH wing tank groups and normally controlled and operated from the REFUEL/DEFUEL
control panel on the RH wing leading edge. The refueling rate is approx. 500 l/min.

The system can also be used to defuel the airplane. The system can be monitored from the
flight compartment. The total amount of required fuel can be preset on the external
REFUEL/DEFUEL control panel or by the REFUEL QTY switch on the center pedestal.

The system enables the LH and the RH wing tank groups to be interconnected. The system can
only be operated when the airplane is on the ground. The wing tank group transfer system
utilizes the fuel feed and the pressure refueling systems to pump and route the required quantity
of fuel from one tank group to the other.

MANUAL PRESSURE REFUELING

Manual pressure refueling is accomplished by selecting both REFUEL / DEFUEL switches on
the refueling panel to REFUEL. Fueling stops when the switches are set back to AUTO, or
when triggered by the fuel HIGH LEVEL SENSOR.

Maximum fueling pressure up to 7800 lb (3538 kg) wing tank fuel quantity is 50 PSI.

If it is necessary to fill the tanks with the maximum fuel quantity of 7970 lb (3615 kg) manual
pressure refueling has to be conducted after automatic refueling up to 7800 lb (3538 kg).
Fueling pressure and flow rate is then limited to 20 PSI and 175 pph (100 ltr/min) above the
total fuel quantity of 7800 lb (3538 kg) to avoid over filling the wing tanks and a possible fuel
spill.

GRAVITY REFUELING
The LH/RH wing tank groups can be gravity refuelled through a filler well in the related inner
fuel tank. A gravity filler cap consisting of filler flange and cap is fitted to the inner tank of each
wing. The cap fits flush to the wing surface when closed and is secured to the flange with a
retaining cable to prevent loss. The filler cap is opened by lifting and turning the flush fitting
handle counterclockwise.
Gravity refueling also allows to fill the tanks with the maximum quantity of fuel.

Page 21
 Dornier 328Jet - Fuel

MANUAL PRESSURE REFUELING

If it is necessary to fill the aircraft with the maximum quantity of fuel, manual pressure refueling
may be used. It is possible to store 7972 pounds (3616 kg/1200 US gallons) total fuel using
manual pressure refueling.

Manual pressure refueling is accomplished by selecting both refueling panel to REFUEL. This
allows maximum fuel quantity to be loaded. Fueling stops when the switches are released, or by
the fuel HIGH LEVEL SENSOR.

It is important to limit refueling pressure to 30 PSI when conducting manual pressure refueling
(Normal Automatic Pressure Refueling is 50 PSI) to avoid over filling the wing tanks, and a
possible fuel spill.

GRAVITY REFUELING
The LH/RH wing tank groups can be gravity refuelled through a filler well in the related inner
