DESCRIPTION
The extended range fuel system (ERFS II) consists of
one, two, or three 800 gallon fuel tanks, a restraint
system for each tank, interconnecting hoses for using
multiple tanks, hoses for interfacing with the aircraft and
an electrical wire harness to provide power from the
aircraft to the control panel. There is also a forward area
refueling equipment (FARE) kit provided.
NO BREAK - WORK HARDER
The ERFS II can be pressure refueled through the
aircraft pressure refueling system (Chapter 10) or gravity
filled through the openings on the top of each tank.

Four cavity drains are installed through the cabin floor at
BL 48, sta 290, 336, 370, and 443 to provide drainage
to the outside of the aircraft in case fuel should ever
migrate to the cavity between the outer tank and the
bladder of the ERFS II tank.

Three ERFS II vents are located at WL 18, sta 254, 331,
and 410 along the left side of the aircraft. These vents
provide air to the tanks during normal operation and
vents fuel vapors overboard.
