Left FWD fuel pump or left AFT fuel pump ?

Featured Replies

That is the question ;-)Not a big deal but according to the PMDG-737NGX-Tutorial-2, it appears to be preferable to use the Left FWD Fuel Pump fot the APU.I quote : <<The FWD pump is chosen because it is easier and less costly to repair than the AFT pump is. The AFT ones are in the wing structure and hard for maintenance to get to.>>Regards,Richard Portier

This is correct, though any pump in # 1 tank or left center tank pump supplies APU with crossfeed closed, with crossfeed open, # 2 tank can be used to feed APU, with fuel in all tanks and all pumps on, center tank will feed APU, using left center pump prevents fuel imbalance if running APU for extended period
