Both tanks are gravity refilled through a filler cap located on top of the right
tank.
Main tanks are provided with caps for connection with the auxiliary tank.
At the bottom of each tank is located a sump plate where are installed a fuel
booster pump, a secondary quantity probe with low level sensor, a fuel
draining valve and a water drainvalve.
The electrical component cables are routed from the sump plate.
The water drain valve can be opened electrically with a switch located in the
main landing sponson; a plunger on the valve allows also the manual
operation.
To ensure an equalisation of pressure between the tanks and existing
ambient pressure each tank is provided at the top with a venting pipeline
routed to the opposite side to prevent post-crash spilling after roll-over.
The height and routing of the pipeline prevents excessive spilling or fuel
collection during aircraftmaneuvers.
The venting pipeline ends at the bottom of the helicopter with two outlets.
One vent goes externally, the other goes internally into a fairing at the rearof
the main landing gear bay to provide protection in the event that the external
vent becomes blocked with ice or other contamination.
A flame arrestor in each venting pipeline prevents a flashback to the tanks in
the event of fire hazards, such as lightingstrikes.
At the top of each main tank is located a plate where are installed a tank
supply hose, a pressure switch, a fuel return to tank from engine and an
electrical connector.
The storage system is designed to provide the required safety conditions,
including a crash situation, by:
