Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel, today´s video will all be about the fuel system on the Airbus A320.
The A320 Fuel system consists of the fuel tanks, controls the distribution of fuel during refuelling, supplies fuel to the engines and APU, cools the oil for the Integrated Drive Generator lubrication system,
keeps fuel in the outer wing for wing bending and flutter relief and supplies information to the ECAM and cockpit indications.
Within the cockpit, we have all the related Fuel switches on the overhead panel and the ECAM display showing the Fuel Page after pressing the fuel button the ECAM control panel. Other than that, the ECAM will automatically display the Fuel page in case of a system failure or warning.
Outside of the cockpit, you can find the refuelling panel on the lower part of the fuselage, below the right-hand wing and a refuel coupling in the midsection on either side of the wings.
We´ll take a look at the crossfeed valve, and how to operate it in accordance with the fuel pumps to take care of a fuel imbalance.
But see more in the video ...
Big thank you to TFC-Käufer for making this video possible and providing me with their huge range of various flight simulators. In the video I was sitting in a FNPT A320.
Their flight training centre in Essen/Germany is the home of many flight simulators in which I have my check-flights every 6 months.
Besides the simulator training, TFC Käufer is Germanys leading flight school, offering a range of different training courses by using their privately owned aeroplanes. Make sure to check out their website to see for further details:

The fuel screen on X-Plane 11 makes sense to me now. Thanks.
Great video Capt. Joe! Would love to see a video of you in the sim reacting to in-flight emergencies - engine issues, gear malfunction, etc.
Awesome instructions on the fuel system. I learn something new. Thank you capt Joe.
I was about to sleep but Captain Joe uploaded a video
Captain Ajuran here ;)
Me to.
@@Caleb_Guffey mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
thank you, it takes a lot of effort to edit and simulate the whole explanation in almost layman terms for viewers.

Captain joe, I really can not express how good your videos and explanations really are. Obviously you know the planes inside out, it's your chosen profession, however your manner and total persona is absolutely fantastic.
You seem like such a friendly and nice person. I've said this before, but i will say it again, your a true gent, and thank you for taking the time for making these videos. kind regards kieren
Great video and very nice introduction to this amazing world !! Thanks Joe.
thanks a lot captain joe i really cannot find this information anywhere only i can find it with you capt joe thanks!!
Youre such A Great ASSET for Aviation lovers like me
Really great video Joe! One thing though, the video said 54 degrees but you said 45 degrees. It is at 4:52. Keep it up Captain!
Obsessed with aviation since as young as I can remember, never ever get board with these types of video's even where I know a lot of what is being discussed.
I was not aware that Jet A fuel could freeze. You learn something new everyday! Thanks Capt. Joe! Have a great weekend!
the highlight of my thursday
me three!
Me 4!!
Soren Mugridge me 5
how dare you have a successful comment chain on youtube for over 4 comments shame on you
vinster7 thanks
Joe, can you explain every parts on cockpit dashboard, overhead panel and pedestal panel?
Again super tech info for us highly interested non flyers .... very generous indeed thank you!
Thanks Captain Joe. The way you explain in your videos makes me want to become a pilot 😀
I don't understand the dis-likes on these videos. In this case, there are 82. I'd love to meet these 82 assholes. Capt Joe, your vid's are the best and are appreciated. Looking forward to the next!
Dave M I noticed a trend recently that some retards say that airplanes don't burn fuel, instead use pressurized air. Coincidentally, are the same retards who believe in chemtrails, flat earth, 11/9, fake moonlanding, and such...
83 just kidding
Dave M 233 ass holes
Now, now Dave M, don't burst a vein...there are now 238 people who can think and can thus see beyond some bloke in a Captain's uniform saying impractical things...all because the uniform is supposed to make him an expert!!!
@@sultana1486
Exactly ..
Im one ...not like these blind sheep who injoy the shit out of being blind...it just nakes them feel good .
Can you actually fly somewhere using this simulator and comment for us what are you doing at any given moment?
S Xyua Li No he cant since its a simulator. Ok that was horrible i'll see myself out. Now seriously yeah please do it that would be awesome!
dafuq dude
no he can not fly somewhere in the simulator as it is attached to the ground
JanitorIsBack can you teach me how to copy paste jokes? I can see you're good at it
S xyua Li I believe it was an answer to tompathepr0
You fuel my inspiration for aviation learning. Thank you for the video
As always a great and extremely interesting video. Very well done, very informative. I wait all week until the next video is uploaded!
Joe in 4:51 you say the max fuel Temp is +45 C but on screen +54 C is displayed
Oh, you wouldn't understand unless you are german :P
lol he is right. in Germán the unit is said first so it would be four and fifty instead of fifty four
vier und fünfzig ( I guess he should say fifty four instead, anyway its the German counting system :)
So which one is the correct 54 or 45 ???
erdelito33 in german they say there numbers backwards so in England we say 21 as twenty one but they say it a one and twenty
He just got a but mixed up
Hey joe! Love your videos.. I had a request, could you please make a video where you fly the simulator from take off to landing during which you explain all the systems in Flight?
Another super informative video, thanks for sharing Captain!
Thanks for your work , Joe.
Much appreciated :D
good job Joe ! Can you explain in a video what do you do step by step since you arrive at the airplane until the takeoff ? I mean for example, open the door, enter cockpit, sit a your place, swith on the plane, and calculate speeds...
would be too much to explain
He don't need to explain every step. Just tell us like a before switch on checklist
Maxoo68 he checks out the female flight attendants first ,just to make sure his day goes on smoothly than he starts pressing buttons
Haha ^^
"open the door, switch on the plane"
xD This is too funny
Captain, I think you're a great teacher on matters aviation, but I have a question: is the plane able to take off with that much fuel? And what about the tank capacity...looking at the wings, it doesn't seem to be able to accommodate tanks to handle that much fuel?
I agree. Captain Joe is great. The airplane is normally able to take off with that much fuel, but it depends on several factors. Takeoff and landing performance are calculated based on among other things temperature, air pressure, runway length, runway slope, wind, terrain, and as you would guess weight. If the runway is short, the airport elevation is high (lower side pressure), the temperature is high, and the aircraft is full of passengers and cargo, then there could possibly be a fuel restriction. As for those amounts of fuel fitting into the tanks, I agree with you that it doesn't look like it would work. I will say that the wings look much smaller from the terminal or the cabin than they do when you are walking under the wings. Also, the wings are quite thick, especially at the wing root. Check out Captain Joe's exteriors walk-around video and you can get a good view.
Airlines run on compressed Air, not "jet fuel", www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXRmc... The "Airbus 380 carries about 82,000 thousand gallons of Jet A" or JP5 fuel, (manufacture specs.) This Jet A is weighing in at 6.8 lbs. per gallon, that's 557,600 pounds of fuel divided over 10 fuel tanks. The 10 fuel tanks must carry 55,760 lbs. a piece (tail tank smaller)! If each wing has at least 4 tanks full, that's about 223,040 lbs. of fuel alone, inside each wing (no Center Tanks).
When you try to calculate how many Airline Flights are occurring each day, from any INTL Airport, you'll realize there is no local "Fuel Tank Farm" that's being constantly resupplied by a fleet of Fuel Tanker Trucks trying to get into the "Fuel Farms" here is an example of the size of these Fuel Farms www.flystl.com/newsroom/stl-n..., you do the math. Here's some typical Tankers skymarkrefuelers.com/products/ their biggest Airline Tanker is only 10,000 gallons! So it would take 8 of this type of Tanker to fill the A380 ! LOL...
Commercial Airlines and Military Jets are started by the APU or external air compressors en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraf... and develope thrust by compressing air, not burning fuel ! It's Viktor Schauberger Turbine Technology www.antigravitytechnology.net/... but this is a Trade Secret and they'll never admit it. People would feel cheated, and demand refunds and we'd start asking questions about the fake 9/11 Event fireballs etc.

@@mulder2400 go way u red pill nation follower, no one needs to here your crap. Apu uses fuel and it can't turn on without it and btw the Apu doesn't provide thrust, u clearly don't understand do u🤣. Also Viktor technology is not used in aircraft because it doesn't work and ok explain jet blast. Stop trying to feed people you're and your an adult I'm sure you have better things to do.
@@mulder2400 I agree, when you take in consideration the numbers the math just doesn't add up. On top of that if you just do a round number of how many planes that fly in a day, vs the gallons of fuel used by the planes vs the gallons produced , theres not enough fuel made. The planes might use some fuel, but not that much as they state they do.
Hi i have some questions It is true that the center tank can refill the wings tank in cruise in order to increase the lift ?and what about boeing planes like 737and 747,are they even manually on the pilots decision,able to do somethings like this?
Great video as always Captain ;) The Fuel to Oil Heat Exchanger caused a crash of an British Airways Boeing 777. The fuel got blocked by ice in the FOHE and therefore engines lost thrust just on final approach to Heathrow. Luckily pilot made a split second decision to retract flaps by one degree and they crash landed on the airfield.
Thanks for another great video Captain Joe! Some follow-up questions if you don't mind:
Can fuel be dumped from an A320 to prevent an overweight landing?
When refueling, how is the center tank filled? Is the fuel pumped from the wing tanks?
Is the fuel in the tanks sampled for impurities like water?
Hey! Could you do a video about what pilots do during cruise speed?
They usually sleep one by one or prepare next flight or talk to each other... but they have to monitor constantly all the information displayed to see if everything is correct
Alpha Only on long haul flights any crew member will sleep. And if the flight is longer than x hours, a second set of pilots is required. So both the captain and co-pilot go for some off-hours or none, being replaced by the second pair of pilots. It's not like the co-pilot goes for a sleep and the captain sits there on his own ;)
Richard van Pukkem Thanks for your comment , I forgot to say I included all flights from short to long haul and obviously pilots don't sleep in a short flight... Just for fun , in 2014 the pilot of an A319 going from spain to belgium slept and was contacted by French Air Force for not answering ATC... :D
They play rock sizzers..
Hey Joe! Can you make a video about the Airbus A320 High-Lift system?
Emil Björklund kk
Thank you for your nice and educational videos.
Great video Captain Joe! Looking forward to more of these!
Last time I´ve been this early, United still had customers...
Igor Bobar had*
Yup, thanks, I edited it
Hello there, Mr. Grammar Nazi, :P.
Rithik Kumar j
Hi Joe! Could you explain how do the spoilers work and how are they activated? Thanks, and great vid!
They increase drag and are deployed with hydraulics.
That's one way to answer his question :D
+Villager #4 thx buddy!!
I'm no pilot but I was taught that they primarily to spoil the airflow over the top of the wing and reduce lift, increased drag and slowing down is secondary/complementary to this. For instance if you didn't deploy spoilers on touchdown, ground effect could cause you to skip/bounce down the runway. Spoilers on an aircraft "spoil' lift (i.e. increase downforce) causing the full aircraft weight to rest on the gear which allows the brakes to work at full effect without skidding. They also increase drag and allow the aircraft to slow down. I've seen them deployed in flight outside my window on a 737 during descent, possibly to slow the aircraft and reduce altitude (to keep within the glideslope).
Yes, I also think the main function of the spoilers is to spoil the lift created by the wings during the touch down. An aircraft can fly because its wings are shaped to let the air accelerate faster on the upper section of the wings than the lower section of the wings. That causes a lower static pressure on the upper side of the wings so the pressure differential creates a lift force which pushes the aircraft up. The spoilers are to decelerate the air on the upper side of the wings by blocking them. That reduces the pressure differential so the aircraft can overcome the ground effect and firmly grip the ground tight. Once the wheels are on the ground, brakes will do the work and stop the aircraft.
Having said that, spoilers still create some drag to decelerate the aircraft, but the main aerodynamic drag still comes from the flaps.
Great Video. Love learning the technical stuff.
Captain Joe you are very knowledgeable and the way of your explanations are very powerful. .. Keep it up thanks
Can you teach us about Cost indexes?
it is multiple index as related to cost. there now you know
Made no sense.
The cost index is used to optimise the aircraft's speed so that the total cost of the flight is at its lowest. It gives the ratio between the unit cost of time and the unit cost of fuel. Does that help at all?
But I still don't get how it changes from airline to airline and so on. I just want Joe to explain really.
Fuel duty in different countries and where different airlines operate is likely to be the reason.
Love your videos but I hate the comment section! D:
Thank you for sharing! I learned a lot.
Fantastic and clear explanations, thank you
i have an exam coming can you please do the hyraulic system
i really want to understand its working
Tanishq Katke open the book and study, you have an exam soon!
just to make me understand it better
would surely make a difference
he explains things extremely well
These videos are hard to make and require certain venues to be available in order to film. A script needs to be prepared as well. Even if one were to agree to a specific video topic, it wouldn't be ready until well after your exam date.
Please explain what a squawk code is?
Shawn Malaka it is just a random number assigned by the controllers to identify your aircraft. Every aircraft controlled by a controller has a different squak code.
There are some special codes if you fly VFR (depends on where you are) or have emergencies (7500, 7600 and 7700).
It is a number transmitted by the aircraft transponder (along with other data such as altitude) every time the radar beam is detected sweeping the aircraft. It is used to identify the aircraft on the ATC radar scope. The code is more or less randomly assigned, but there are specific squawk codes the pilot can use that indicate things like hijack, emergency, etc.
When ATC requests a squawk, they are also requesting that the pilot presses a button on the transponder that highlights the aircraft and it's information on the radar screens
Hey Cap! Your videos are really useful. Thanks!
I love all your aviation videos thank you so much!
Dude... seriously why is your intro music a million times louder than your voice
Cause it's great!
Make your videos longer please!
simple and informative also easy to understand!! perfect video XD
Hi Captain Joe, I have really enjoyed watching all your videos, you have a way of bringing each subject to life. I found your logbook tutorial particularly useful as I will hopefully begin my journey to the skies in the near future.
I wondered whether you could do a video explaining why larger AC have two auto pilots and how these are used together without conflicting one another. I am a naturally curious person particularly when it comes to aviation but this is something I've struggled to find a good explanation to. I'm sure you can do it!
Best wishes,
Tom
Compressed air from the engines that’s the fuel they use...
@kenneth > You are an idiot. Give us your expertise to make this ridiculous claim.

Hey Joe, did you ever fly in united airlines?😂
Maybe, but He is Captain for Air Berlin
I love your videos! Very good explanations! Congratulations!
Sir the information provided by you is insanely accurate and helpful, atleast to me. Thanku.
Yup. Thousands of gallons sloshing around in the aluminum wing. Sure.
You sound like one of those chemtrail guys. Yes there is fuel inside those wings. It makes the wings more rigid and helps to keep the center of gravity.
Joe are you serious? 18.9 tons of fuel? Now that’s a hum dinger of a story. Did you learn that in flight school because in the real world that much weight would take a hell of a lot to get off the ground. How much does a car weight? Hum now stack those on the wings and center of plane. It’s funny that when you just throw out numbers people believe but give them a visual and things change.
Idiot!
Superb explanation sir, smooth crisp and informative.. Never felt like loosing control on video..
Hatts off
Thank you Joe, another great video!!
Fuel storage 23,000 L ie tons!! FOB says 7,520 !!!!!! Errrrrrrr you're lying 23,000 tons of fuel is a joke on a aluminium plane!! taking you have passenger weight, cargo, baggage, What those wing tanks are is compressed helium tanks and the plane engine run themselves on compressed air.
A litre of fuel does not weigh a ton. It weighs a little less that a kilogram.
@@mikelowe5096 0ne thousand lites == roughly a ton! 23,000 ummmmmmmmmmmmmm lol
@@chilbury Since you can't seem to do basic math, it's 23 tons, not 23,000 tons as you stated.
chilbury Hey idiot you don’t even understand how to calculate the weight of fuel much less describe how the plane works. There is no helium on the jet. None. The A320 holds about 21 tons when fully fueled. And usually, it is not fully fueled. Go get an education, and stay away from You Tube.
It’s 23 tons in liters by volume and in kilos roughly about 19tons. I get the confusion, fuel in planes are measured in mass and not volume. It burns on average 40 kilos per minute both engines and 2400 kilos per hour. So for short flights 7520 can still take u 2 hours of more and rest are fuel reserves, hope it helped and u have a nice day. Awesome
Love your explanations and guidings!
another great videos, thank you Captain Joe.
Very good Information about Aircraft Fuel system
Thanks for all these great informative videos, always a pleasure to watch.
For future inspiration, could you explain Ground speed, True airspeed and Indicated airspeed?
Keep on with the great work and happy landings!
Laurent
Can't get enough of these videos!
Thank you Captain Joe! Nice video
Great job Capt. Joe! Love your channel!!!
i'm till watching your videos from 2014 onwards you are so amazing keep it up
I remember watching a documentary where a leak caused fuel imbalance. The fuel temperature and pressure caused the crew to misidentify the problem and turned on the cross-feeding which exacerbated the problem by letting more fuel leak out.
In the end, the aircraft lost all its fuel and had to use the ram air turbine for power and glide to the closest airport.
Luckily they succeeded.
Perfectly presented !
Good to have you back ....... Been a while since you last posted a vlog .... Had withdrawal symptoms
Love this technical and explicit videos
That was awesome!!! I always love your videos
Thank you so much this what I wanted. You showing us step by step panel by panel look about the aircraft. I hope you can show us this in all together senario of what you do for plane prep all way untill take off. I'd very much like to watch how this happends:)
Hey Joe, great video! If I might make one suggestion, though, I think it would be good if you included common variations, such as having the fuel panel in the wing next to the adapter or having an auxiliary tank.
I have worked in aerospace fabrication for the past 31 years for primarily Boeing (13 years) and (Parker Aerospace Parker Hannifin Corp) currently. We build electrohydraulic servo valves for Airbus,Boeing,Embraer and many others. Also many military applications. I have become very interested in the A380 which we also build valves for. I have watched most every video I can find. The sheer power of such an aircraft is almost unbelievable. Your videos are very informative and I hope you will keep them coming.
very useful information thank you.
love his videos...thanks Captain Joe
another great video

Very good explanation this is very interesting good job
Great explanation!
Nice one again thanks!!!
Thank you for your information
Hi Joe! That was an amazing lesson thank you very much! I was wondering if you could tell us what are all the medical tests that you need to pass in order to get the pilot license or the annualy renewal? Greetings from Costa Rica!
I like how he keeps his videos short and to the point.
Great video thanks captain jor
Thank you, great video.
Intriguing for sure
Hi, joe great video (as usual)! One request could you create a playlist for the "airbus introduction videos"
Wow, great engineering. Learned something new. Can't wait to see Boeing's opposite cuff.
thank you captain joe!!!
