- A.
Rotor.
- B.
Stator.
- C.
Accumulator.
- D.
Vapor relief valve
Correct Answer
A. Rotor.Explanation
The rotor is the air refueling pump component that removes fuel vapors caused by the centrifugal force of the impellers. The impellers generate centrifugal force, which creates fuel vapors. The rotor is responsible for removing these vapors from the pump, ensuring the smooth operation of the refueling process. The stator, accumulator, and vapor relief valve do not have this specific function.Rate this question:

- A.
Direction of free flow.
- B.
Direction of restricted flow.
- C.
Location of the drilled hole in the valve.
- D.
Location of the manufacturer’s data block.
Correct Answer
A. Direction of free flow.Explanation
The arrow stamped on the body of a fuel system check valve indicates the direction of free flow. This means that the fuel will flow in the direction that the arrow is pointing, allowing for proper functioning of the check valve. It is important to follow the direction of flow indicated by the arrow to ensure that the fuel system operates correctly and efficiently.Rate this question:

A pressure-loaded fuel system check valve is used
- A.
When a reverse flow of fuel is desired.
- B.
To prevent the pump from overspeeding
- C.
When gravity flow through the valve is undesirable.
- D.
To prevent excessive pressures when the pump overspeeds
Correct Answer
C. When gravity flow through the valve is undesirable.Explanation
A pressure-loaded fuel system check valve is used when gravity flow through the valve is undesirable. This means that the valve is designed to prevent fuel from flowing back due to gravity, which can cause issues such as fuel leakage or improper fuel distribution. By using a pressure-loaded check valve, the flow of fuel can be controlled and regulated in a way that ensures proper functioning of the fuel system.Rate this question:
