Fuel Transfer.Fuel transfer from the ERFS II tanks to the helicopter’smain tanks is accomplished through the use of dual cen-trifugal pumps in each ERFS II tank. During fuel transfer,the manually operated fuel/defuel valve on each tankmust be closed to prevent fuel circulation inside the tank.With the fuel/defuel valve closed, fuel is pumped into thefuel manifold at a rate of approximately 20 gpm. Fuel isdelivered by the fuel manifold to the helicoter main fueltanks through the aircraft fuel system quick disconnectfittings in the left and right side cargo compartment atSTA 380. During transfer, the roll-over vent valve in eachERFS II tank allows venting and equalization of tankpressure above 5 psi from thermal expansion, contrac-tion, and barometric pressure changes in the bladders.The high level fuel shutoff valves in the tanks preventoverfilling. The high level fuel shutoff valves in the tanksprevent overfilling. The metallic float and ball in the roll-over vent valve prevents fuel from escaping should thetank become inverted in a roll-over and prevents sloshfrom uncoordinated flight from leaking to the overboardvent lines. To transfer fuel from the FARE system, fuel ispumped from the ERFS II tanks by the FARE pump. Themanually operated fuel/defuel valve must be in the openposition for the FARE transfer.2-15-13. Engine Oil System.The engine oil tank and oil quantity indicator are an inte-gral part of the engine (fig. 2-15-2). Service either engineoil system as follows:a.If the engine has not been operated in the preceding24 hours and the oil level is low, run it and then recheck theoil level. Otherwise an inaccurate oil level may be indicated.b.Check oil level by looking through the grilled openingon the left side of the engine cowling at the 9 o’clock posi-tion.c.If the indicator shows less than full, open the oil filleraccess panel on the forward top side of the engine cover.d.Refer to DA Form 2408-13-1 and table 2-15-1 forthe type of oil to use. Under normal conditions, engines shallbe serviced with one type of oil only. If one type of oil is inan engine and that oil is not available, the other type may beused in an emergency.e.Remove the filler cap. Fill the tank with oil until theindicator shows full. Do not overfill tank.f.Install the filler cap. Close both access panels.2-15-14. APU Oil System.Service the APU as follows:CAUTIONDo not use the APU drip pan as a hand-hold. Damage to equipment will result.a.Remove the filler cap from the left side of the APU(fig. 2-15-2).CAUTIONDo not overfill. Damage to the APU canresult from overfilling.b.Add oil to the APU oil tank until the level reaches theFULL mark on the sight gage. Under normal conditions, theAPU shall be serviced with one type of oil only. If one typeof oil is in an APU and that oil is not available, the other typemay be used in an emergency.c.Reinstall and check security of the filler cap.
