3.2.6 L/R FUEL TEMP
L/R FUEL TEMP
Left / Right fuel temperature is in the upper red range
(too high / above 60 °C).
Fuel temperatures above the limit value of 60 °C can lead to a noticeable reduction of
the high pressure pump efficiency.
- Reduce power on affected engine.
- Increase airspeed.
CAUTION
At high ambient temperature conditions and/or at low
airspeeds with high power settings and low fuel quantities,
it can be assumed that the above mentioned procedure will
decrease the temperature(s). If the fuel temperature does not
return to the green range, perform a precautionary landing
on the nearest suitable airfield.
NOTE
Increased fuel temperature can occur when the fuel quantity
in the main tank is low. If the auxiliary tank is installed the fuel
temperature can be decreased by transferring fuel from the
auxiliary to the main tank.
