A fuel supply arrangement (1) for a fuel monitoring system (3). It comprises a fuel distribution arrangement (31) and a fuel monitoring outlet line (29) which, in use, is connected to a source of fuel (7). The fuel distribution arrangement (31) comprises a fuel monitoring supply line (57), to which is connected an inline fuel pump (53). A first fuel sensor supply circuit (67) and a second fuel sensor supply circuit (71) are each connected to the fuel monitoring supply circuit (57) downstream of the inline fuel pump (53). The first fuel sensor supply circuit (67) is provided with a sensor inlet connection and a sensor outlet connection for inline connection of a sensor. The second fuel sensor supply circuit (71) comprises a sensor manifold (91) with ports for connection of a plurality of sensors (97,99) in series with each other. The fuel distribution arrangement (31) comprises a fuel outlet line (43) to which the first fuel sensor supply circuit (67) and the second fuel sensor supply circuit (71) are fluidly connected.
A fuel supply arrangement (1) for a fuel monitoring system (3) wherein the fuel supply arrangement (1) comprises a fuel distribution arrangement (31) and a fuel monitoring outlet line (29), wherein, in use, the fuel monitoring outlet line (29) is connected to a source of fuel (7), wherein the fuel distribution arrangement (31) comprises a fuel monitoring supply circuit (57) connected at an upstream end to the fuel monitoring outlet line (29) and comprising an inline fuel pump (53), wherein a first fuel sensor supply circuit (67) and a second fuel sensor supply circuit (71) are each connected to the fuel monitoring supply circuit (57) downstream of the inline fuel pump (53), wherein the first fuel sensor supply circuit (67) is provided with a sensor inlet connection and a sensor outlet connection for inline connection of a sensor, wherein the second fuel sensor supply circuit (71) comprises a sensor manifold (91) with ports for connection of a plurality of sensors (97,99) in series with each other and wherein the fuel distribution arrangement (31) comprises a fuel outlet line (43) to which the first fuel sensor supply circuit (67) and the second fuel sensor supply circuit (71) are fluidly connected, characterised in that the fuel supply arrangement (1) further comprises a fuel chamber (21) having a fuel inlet (19) for connection to the source of fuel (7) and having a fuel monitoring outlet (28) to which the fuel monitoring outlet line (29) is connected, wherein the fuel chamber (21) further comprises a fuel consumption outlet (34) to which a fuel consumption outlet line (35) is connected, for connection to a fuel consumption entity (37).
