A320 Fuel System Overview

The A318, A319, and A320 share a common fuel system design with fuel tanks integrated into the center fuselage and wings. Fuel is supplied from the center tank first, then the wing inner cells, with intercell valves allowing fuel transfer from outer wing cells to inner cells when levels drop. Two engine fuel valves supply fuel to the engines from any available pump, while also isolating sides, and a valve feeds the APU directly from the left side.

A320 Fuel

The A318, A319, and A320 share a common fuel system design.
The fuel tanks are integrated into the center fuselage area and the
wings. The center tank is part of the center wing box. The wing
tanks are divided into inner and outer cells. To reduce the structural
load on the wings, the fuel in the outer cells is not used until the
fuel load in the inner cells decreases to a low level.
Two fuel pumps are installed in the center tank and two fuel pumps
are installed in each wing tank inner cell. Fuel is supplied to the
engines from the center tank first. After the center tank is empty,
fuel is supplied from the wing inner cells.
There is no direct supply from the outer cells to the engines. Two
intercell transfer valves let the fuel transfer from the outer cells to
the inner cells when the low level is reached.
Two engine Low Pressure (LP) valves are installed to supply or cut
off fuel to the engines. The LP valves are closed when the engine is
shut down or when the engine FIRE pushbutton is released.
A crossfeed valve is installed to connect or isolate the left and right
hand sides. It enables engine to be fed from any available fuel
pump. On the ground, the crossfeed valve enables fuel to be
transferred from tank to tank. The valve is closed for normal
operation.
The fuel system also feeds the APU directly from the left hand side.
The APU LP valve is installed to supply or cut off fuel to the APU. It
closes when the APU is shut down or when the APU FIRE
pushbutton is released out.
SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
The FUEL control panel is located on the overhead panel. The wing tank pumps
are controlled manually but the center tank
pumps are normally controlled automatically. On the
A318/A319/A320 fuel control panel, the MODE SEL P/BSW enables
the pilot to select automatic or manual mode for the center tank pumps.
