I couldnt find a specific reference to the feeder box in either of two schools notes, so I'm wondering if its an old fashioned or obsolete item? Anyway saw the same question today, the one I have for what its worth is:

In a twin jet fuel system what is the function of a feeder box?

a) To equally distribute the fuel to each tank during refuelling

b)To prevent cavitation

c)To control the amount of fuel remaining during fuel dumping

d)To feed fuel to the volumetric top off unit

The answer I have is (b) which seems to make sense. (a) is wrong as its the crossfeed valve that does that. (c)A seperate system controls fuel dumping and (d), well I have no idea what that means... So that would leave b as the "most correct".

These are my thoughts, but I am hoping that someone out there who actually knows what they are talking about will confirm my guessing. It must be pointed out that I am studying for the re-take as we speak
