1
New cards

Characteristics of aviation gasoline are

high heat value, high volatility.

2
New cards

The main differences between grades 100 and 100LL fuel are

lead content and color.

3
New cards

Why is ethylene dibromide added to aviation gasoline?

To scavenge lead oxide from the cylinder combustion chambers

4
New cards

What must accompany fuel vaporization

An absorption of heat.

5
New cards

Tetraethyl lead is added to aviation gasoline to

improve the gasoline's performance in the engine

6
New cards

A fuel that does not vaporize readily enough can cause

hard starting

7
New cards

Characteristics of detonation are

rapid rise in cylinder pressure, excessive cylinder head temperature, and a decrease in engine power

8
New cards

One of the best ways to increase engine power and control detonation and preignition is to

use water injection

9
New cards

The device that controls the ratio of the fuel/air mixture to the cylinders is called a

mixture control

10
New cards

(1) The mixture used at rated power in air cooled reciprocating engines is richer than the mixture used through the normal cruising range. (2) The mixture used at idle in air cooled reciprocating engines is richer than the mixture used at rated power. Regarding the above statements,

both are true

11
New cards

During the operation of an aircraft engine, the pressure drop in the carburetor venturi depends primarily upon the

air velocity

12
New cards

A gravity type fuel system must have a fuel head pressure of?

,5 to 1.5psi

13
New cards

Reciprocating engine power will be decreased at all altitudes if the 

humidity is increased.

14
New cards

An excessively lean fuel/air mixture may cause

an increase in cylinder head temperature.

15
New cards

Where is the engine fuel shutoff valve usually located?

aft of the firewall

16
New cards

A fuel strainer or filter must be located between the

tank outlet and the fuel metering device

17
New cards

What component controls the airflow from idle to wide open?

throttle

18
New cards

What component measures mass airflow and starts fuel vaporization and air/fuel mixing?

venturi

19
New cards

What is the purpose of the float mechanism?

It establishes the proper fuel level in the float chamber in relationship to the discharge nozzle.

20
New cards

What component helps atomize the fuel?

air bleeds

21
New cards

What does the Main Metering system provide?

It provides the fuel/air mixture for all operations above idle.

22
New cards

Idle adjustment is made;

With the engine operating at normal temperatures and at the lowest idle rpm setting.

23
New cards

Cruise is ____ to ____ of normal rated power.

45% to 70%

24
New cards

Where does the air bleed obtain it’s air?

behind the venturi

25
New cards

Which of the following is not an advantage of a fuel injection carburetor?

less accurate fuel metering

26
New cards

What is the letter “R” represent in the model designation of a few injection carburetor?

rectangle barrel

27
New cards

What is the purpose of the Venturi?

limits airflow at wide open throttle settings

28
New cards

The boost Venturi supplies low pressure air to what chamber?

B chamber

29
New cards

Of the following components is located in the adapter unit?

Discharge nozzle and fuel feed valve

30
New cards

What component adjusts pressure drop across the fuel control unit in proportion to the mass airflow through the throttle body?

fuel regulator unit

31
New cards

What is the purpose of the fuel control unit?

meters the fuel being delivered to the discharge nozzle

32
New cards

The power enrichment jet meters fuel between:

90-100%

33
New cards

What is the function of the manual mixture control valve?

To control fuel flow through the Jets

34
New cards

What is the function of the automatic mixture control?

Compensate for changes in air density

35
New cards

What is the purpose of the throttle body?

measure and control airflow

36
New cards

What system provides proper air fuel mixture above idle?

main metering system

37
New cards

The purpose of the impact tubes are:

To sample carburetor inlet air pressure for chamber "A"

38
New cards

Which of the following is not an advantage of the Continental TCM fuel injection system?

New cards

What type of pump is used in the Continental TCM fuel injection system?

Positive displacement rotary vane type

40
New cards

The relief valve diaphragm chamber in a Continental TCM injection system is vented to:

41
New cards

What is the purpose of the fuel air control unit on a Continental TCM injection system?

To control engine air intake and to set metered fuel pressure

42
