ABSTRACT:
The method of purging entrained air or vapor from fuel stored in two or more tanks in an aircraft, and more particularly in multi-engine aircraft during crossfeed fuel delivery when the aircraft is climbing to altitude, which method consists of reversing the fuel booster pump, or pumps, in the temporarily unused tank, or tanks, while all fuel is withdrawn from one tank to supply the engines, whereby the fuel agitation produced by the reversed pump or pumps effectively frees the entrained air or vapor from the fuel to escape to atmosphere through the fuel tank vent system.
