The bulk fuel temperature sensor is located in which tank?

The bulk fuel temperature sensor is located in which tank?

• A. Left Wing Tank
• B. Right Wing Tank
• C. Fuselage Tank
• D. Tail Tank

Answer: (B)

The bulk fuel temperature sensor is placed in the wing that serves as the primary engine fuel reservoir, so the reading reflects the temperature of the fuel actually being used by the engines. Placing it in the right wing tank provides a representative, stable measurement for the fuel management and engine control systems, while keeping the sensor away from heat sources near the engines and from tanks that aren’t used for main engine feed. The other tanks—left wing, fuselage, and tail—either don’t supply the main engine feed or have different temperature profiles, so they aren’t used for this purpose in this configuration.
