Fuel Tanks In The Boeing 737

This means that the wing structure forms the tank as well. The third tank is located in the fuselage between the base of the wings, it is in line with the other two tanks.

    M969 5000 Gallon Semitrailer

    M969 5,000-Gallon Semitrailer. The M969 5000-gallon semitrailer is a fuel dispensing semitrailer used primarily for refueling ground vehicles. The M969 has the same bulk delivery and self load capabilities as the M967. It has a 5000-gallon capacity and weighs 15,000 pounds empty and 48,950 pounds full. The M969 has the same dimensions and can be towed and transported in the same manner as the M967 tank semitrailer. The tank body and auxiliary engine and pump assembly are identical to that of the M967. TM 9-2320-356-12&P gives detailed information on this tank semitrailer. In addition to the equipment included with the M967, the M969 includes equipment required for automotive refueling and limited aircraft refueling. This equipment is mounted on the sides of the vehicles. There is a filter/separator, pump and engine compartment, engine fuel tank, landing gear crank, and landing gear ground board on the curbside of the vehicle. There is also an emergency valve shutoff, hose trough, and battery compartment for two batteries on the curbside of the vehicle. There is a hose trough, portable grounding rod, landing gear ground board, toolbox, control panel, manifold assembly, and hose reel cabinet on the roadside of the vehicle. The filter/separator is rated at 300 GPM and 15 psi. It has three filtering stages. In the first stage, 15-filter elements remove solid particles and coalesce any water in the fuel. In the second stage, five canisters separate the water from the fuel and let it drain into the filter/separator sump. Finally, 15 go/no go fuses act as safety devices to shut off the flow of fuel if the other two stages allow water to exceed a safe level. Three of these fuses are in each of the second stage elements. Other parts of the filter/separator include an automatic drain valve, a manual drain valve, and a pressure gage. When water in the filter sump reaches a certain level, the water is removed by the automatic drain valve. This valve is operated by a…

    Satire Essay

    The gasoline that keeps your car running is supplied by petroleum. Petroleum is pumped out of the ground. Petroleum is made by the transformation of long dead plants and marine animal fossils. These fossils are under a lot of pressure and heat for hundreds on thousands of years, and in result is a dark substance known as Kerogen. These Kerogen molecules then eventually break down into petroleum or natural gas and are pumped into your gas tanks. That is right; your car is running on a limited supply of dead plants and dead fish souls.…
