Aircraft fuel system

The reason to have left only and right only options is to allow pilots to balance fuel load to reduce the banking moment.

Single-engine piston aircraft fuel level systems moved to utilize float level gauges from the CNG and LPG industries which had the float drive a magnetic coupling and relocated the potentiometer outside the fuel tank.

Recent advances in magnetoresistive technology have evolved new fuel level sensors for general aviation applications.

This system is not affected by any additive or fuel combination to replace 100LL for piston-powered aircraft.

[2][3][4][5][6] Adding tanks and engines increases the complexity of the fuel system and its management.

Additional features found in multi-engine aircraft are: All of the considerations made for the twin piston are applicable to turbine fuel systems.

Additional consideration apply because of the higher altitudes, different fuel, lower temperatures, and longer flights.

Drop tanks are used by combat aircraft that need to discard them after use for performance reasons.
