Key Features of Fuel Consumption Trolley

  • Dual-Pump Architecture

    Two pumps per system allow half-load diagnostics or full-load operation, with graceful degradation if one pump goes offline.
  • Digital Flow & Consumption Metering

    Microprocessor-based flow sensor with single-range indicator for low-to-high flow accuracy, totalizer, and optional data logging.
  • Contamination Control

    Inline filtration (absolute rated) with an on-line particle/contamination sensor to maintain aviation fuel cleanliness during testing or transfer.
  • Pressure & Flow Stability

    Electrically actuated control valves maintain set pressures and flows during transient load changes for consistent test results.
  • Ground Ops Ready

    Towable, robust trolley with protected panels, quick service doors, and labeled manifolds for rapid, error-free hookups.


Typical Use Cases

  • Fuel System Ground Testing

    Measure actual fuel consumption during engine runs or system checks with stable, logged metering.
  • Defueling & Transfer

    Safely remove fuel to a bowser or storage tank, and transfer between tanks with controlled pressure and flow.
  • Flushing & Cleanliness Verification

    Circulate through filters while monitoring contamination in real time to meet target cleanliness standards – Fuel Flushing Trolley.

Maintenance & Calibration (Best Practices)

  • Daily

    Visual leak check, hose and connector inspection, meter self-test, and bonding/earthing verification.
  • Monthly

    Filter element inspection or differential pressure check; verify contamination monitor.
  • Quarterly

    Flowmeter verification against transfer standard, valve actuation test, and electrical panel check.
  • Annually

    Full calibration (flow, pressure, contamination counter), hose proof test, and safety audit.
  • Support

    Jetsys Defence provides AMC plans, calibration kits, and training to maximize uptime and data integrity.
