Abstract
Discusses the requirements for refuelling civil airliners, particularly under pressure refuelling. Analyses the problems that can arise and demonstrates how advancing technology has changed the appearance and efficiency of many components, particularly with reference to the control panel. Describes in detail the workings of a typical system; aspects of control of fuel quantity in refuelling; refuel control panels; and fuel gauges, with particular reference to the Boeing 777.
