Über das Fuel Panel wird zusammen mit den
Fuel Quantity Select Panel sowie dem
Air Source Panel die Treibstoffsteuerung der F-16 bedient. Das Fuel Panel befindet sich auf der
Left Console.
| Element | Type | Position | Information |
|---|
| FUEL MASTER | 2-Way switch
(Safety bar) | MASTER (Safe) | Opens engine fuel shutoff valve which then opens the EEC (electronic engine control) fuel shutoff valve |
| OFF | Closes engine fuel shutoff valve which then closes the EEC fuel shutoff valve |
| TANK INERTING | 2-Way switch | TANK INERTING | Opens valve at Halon reservoit. Opens initial inerting valve for 20 seconds. Reduces tank pressurization. Allows small continuous flow of Halon into tank. |
| OFF | Closes valve at Halon reservoir. Returns fuel tank pressurization to normal schedule. |
| ENG FEED | Rotary switch
(4x45 deg) | OFF | Deenergizes all electric-driven pumps. Engine supplied by FFP (fuel flow proportioner). |
| NORM | Energizes all pumps. CG (center of gravity) maintained automatically. |
| AFT | Energizes pumps in aft tanks and opens crossfeed valve. Fuel is transferred from aft tank to the engine and forward tank. CG moves forward. |
| FWD | Energizes pumps in forward tanks and opens crossfeed valve. Fuel is transferred from forward tank to the engine and aft tank. CG moves aft. |
| AIR REFUEL | 2-Way switch | OPEN | Open aerial refueling door. Places FLCS (flight control system) in takeoff and landing gains. Enables aerial refueling door light. Turns aon AR floodlight and vertical tail-mounted fuselage floodlight. Reduces internal tank pressurization, depressurize external tanks and allows the refuel valce in each reservoir to open when a centerline tank is installed and refuel pressure is applied. |
| CLOSE | Reverse the OPEN actions. |
