ATA 28-42, Fuel Stick

The replacement of a fuel measuring stick on a McDonnell Douglas aircraft is quite easy. Best of all...... it's completely dry.



The stick sits inside a sealed tube. The magnet on the tip of the stick is acted upon by a float that rides up/down around the tube.



Replacement of the stick takes less than five minutes.



A simple snap ring holds the assembly in place. A pocket screwdriver was all that was needed to snap this ring in.

I've seen the tail tank show 800lbs when it was empty, and when I check the stick-clunk!!

In MD11 school this week. Learning all kinds of things!!

Last of its breed. Maybe a couple in Europe. FedEx and UPS...... that's it.
