Estimating the term…
The present invention concerns a device for use in an aircraft fuel pressure sensor line. More particularly, but not exclusively, this invention concerns a fuel pressure sensor line connecting an aircraft fuel pump to a pressure sensor. The invention also concerns a fuel pressure sensor line reservoir for use with a sensor line connecting an aircraft fuel pump to a pressure sensor. An aircraft fuel pump system comprises an aircraft fuel pump and a pressure sensor connected the aircraft fuel pump via a sensor line. The sensor line includes a reservoir located between the aircraft fuel pump and the pressure sensor. The reservoir acts to prevent liquid contacting the pressure switch when the fuel pump is not active.
An aircraft fuel pump system comprising:
A reservoir for installation on a sensor line in an aircraft fuel pump system, the reservoir comprising an inlet, a sump, and an outlet, configured such that the sump must be substantially full before fluid can pass through the reservoir.
