level detector circuit and monitors the valve position by
open and shut lights on the control console.
4. Circuit for drainage eductor actuating and
overboard discharge valves. This circuit actuates the
valves either open or shut by switches on the control
console. Additional features of this circuit are:
a. The circuit stops the actuating valve in any
intermediate position to allow throttling of eductors
actuating supply.
b. Actuating valve is interlocked with the
overboard discharge valve to prevent opening until the
overboard discharge valve is opened.
c. The overboard discharge valve is inter-
locked with the actuating valve to prevent closing until
the actuating valve is closed.
d. Circuit monitors valve position by open and
shut lights on the control console.
5. Circuit for stripping, ballast, and drainage
valves in the drainage system three-valve interlocked
manifold. These circuits actuate the valves either open
or shut by switches on the control console. Additional
features of the circuits are as follows:
a. The three circuits are interlocked together
to permit opening only one valve at a time. If any one
of the three valves are open the other two are held closed
by the circuits.
b. Stripping valve circuit bypasses the saltwa-
ter detector circuit to allow the JP-5 or ballast storage
tank drainage manifold valves to be opened.
c. Circuit monitors valve positions via open
and shut lights on control console.
6. Circuit for JP-5 and JP-5 service tank electric
motor operated stripping manifold valve. This circuit
actuates the valve either open or shut by a switch on the
control console. Circuit monitors valve positions by
open and shut lights on control console.
7. Circuit for JP-5 or ballast and JP-5 overflow or
ballast tank drainage electric motor-operated manifold
valves. This circuit actuates the valves either open or
shut by a toggle switch on the control console. This
circuit is interlocked with the seawater detector in the
tank to prevent opening the valve if JP-5 is in the storage
tank. The seawater detector interlock is bypassed when
the stripping valve in the three valve interlocked drain-
age manifold is opened. Circuit monitors valve posi-
tions by open and shut lights on control console.
8. Circuit for selected JP-5 and drainage cutout
valves. This circuit actuates the valves either open or
shut by a switch on the console. Circuit monitors valve
positions by open and shut lights on console.
9. Circuit for monitoring valve positions for
valves that are manually operated and have limit
switches at open and shut positions to actuate open
and shut lights. Circuit actuates open and shut
lights when in intermediate positions and shut off
open light when valve is closed and shut off shut
light when valve is open.
10. Circuit for starting and stopping JP-5 service
pump. This circuit actuates the pumps to start and stop
by a switch on the control console. Circuit monitors
pump operation via on and off lights on control
console.
11. Circuit for monitoring selected pump and pu-
rifier positions. The circuit actuates on lights when
equipment is running and actuate off lights when
equipment is not running.
12. Circuit for high level detector override. This
circuit overrides the high level circuit of the tank level
gage system to allow transferring fluid out of the tank
or topping off the tanks to 100 per cent full.
13. Circuit for the electric motor operated JP-5
gate valves in shaft alleys No. 1 and 4. This circuit
actuates the valves either open or shut by a switch on
the forward console. Circuit monitors valve positions
on both the forward and aft console by open and shut
lights.
JP-5 FUELING SYSTEM OPERATIONS
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify various JP-
5 fuel system operations. Explain proper pro-
cedures for each operation.
Underway replenishment, transfer of fuel from
one tank to another, and pumping fuel to the flight and
hangar decks are everyday facts of life for the ABF. If
proper procedures are followed, they are smooth and
safe operations. If proper procedures are not followed,
the operations become outright dangerous.
