– 1,500\;\text{lbs} - B767
– 1,500\;\text{lbs} - A319/320/321
– 810\;\text{lbs} - CRJ 200-900
– 800\;\text{lbs} ## Fuel Caps vs. Cap-less Aircraft - No Fuel Caps: B717, B737, B757 - Fuel Caps Installed: A319/320/321 family, CRJ 200-900 family, B767 ## Standard Fuel-Mode & Stopping Rules - B717 (Automatic):

• Stop wing tanks 300\;\text{lbs} short, then ease to final.

• Always release pressure in center tank. - B737 (Manual):

• Wing Tanks 1 & 2
⇒ stop 50\;\text{lbs} short.

• Center tank
⇒ stop 100\;\text{lbs} short; then creep to ordered total. - B757 (Automatic):

• Manual only if AUTO fails; in MANUAL stop exactly on ordered total.

• Use bonding cable at rear; aircraft has 8 tires.

• Dead-man procedure: pull dead-man, wait for pressure to stabilize, then open desired fuel switch while holding dead-man. - B767 (Automatic):

• Manual only on rare request, stop on ordered total.

• Fuel aircraft from left wing first when center fuel required (per internal SOP). - CRJ 200/700/900 (Automatic):

• Stop 300\;\text{lbs} short of total, let gauges roll up/down, then creep to final using 15\;\text{gal}=100\;\text{lbs} conversion.

• Add extra 50\;\text{lbs} over order to counter roll-back.

• CRJs require paper "tickets"; all other fleets use electronic FSRs. - A319/320/321 (Automatic):

• If AUTO inoperative: call supervisor, fill to 500\;\text{lbs} short, then ease to final using 15\;\text{gal}=100\;\text{lbs}.

• Bonding cable attaches at nose gear area (front four tires). ## Seasonal Max-Tank Adjustment Policy - Only B717 & B737 require seasonal re-strapping.

• Reason: Fuel expansion in higher summer temperatures can cause wing-tank spills if winter max remains in use.

• Always verify correct seasonal chart before dispatch. ## Fuel-to-Weight Conversion & Density - Quick references:

• 15\;\text{gal} = 50\;\text{lbs}

• 30\;\text{gal} = 100\;\text{lbs}

• General rule: \text{Lbs} = \text{Gallons}\times\text{Density} (use current bulletin density factor). ## Codes, Phones & Equipment - FSM (Fuel System Manager)
