ABSTRACT:
A fuel control system is disclosed for supplying fuel to an engine from a plurality of fuel tanks in a manner which provides an operator with sufficient warning when a selected fuel tank has run dry prior to ceasing fuel flow to the engine that action can be taken to switch to an alternate fuel tank whereby engine operation is never ceased under normal circumstances. The disclosed apparatus includes a novel buffer container for disposition between the selector valve and engine incorporating a bi-stable sensor and an outlet fitting for metering trapped air into the fuel to the engine whereby venting to atmosphere is not required.
