Where does the condensation water converge in the tank?

  • A

    It floats on the fuel.

  • B

    Near the cap of the tank.

  • C

    At the lowest position.

  • D

    It is mixed with the fuel.

Water is always present in fuel, the amount will vary according to the efficiency of the manufacturer’s quality control and the preventive measures taken during storage and transfer. Further measures can be taken to minimise water accretion once the fuel has been transferred to the aircraft tanks.

Water Drains: If the fuel can be allowed to settle after refuelling then the water droplets, being heavier than the fuel, will fall to the bottom of the tank and can then be drained off through the water drain valve.
