  Aircraft fuel quantity measurement is the process of determining the amount of fuel in an aircraft's fuel tanks. This information is important for a number of reasons, including: Fuel management:  The pilot needs to know how much fuel is available to them in order to manage the aircraft's fuel consumption. Safety : The pilot needs to know how much fuel is available in case of an emergency. Regulations : Some regulations require aircraft to have a minimum amount of fuel on board for safety reasons. There are a number of different methods for measuring aircraft fuel quantity. The most common methods are: Fuel level gauges:  Fuel level gauges are the most common method for measuring aircraft fuel quantity. These gauges are typically located on the instrument panel in the cockpit and they indicate the amount of fuel in each fuel tank. Fuel quantity indicators:  Fuel quantity indicators are more accurate than fuel level gauges and they are typically used in la...

Fuel storage:  The fuel system stores the fuel in the aircraft. The fuel tanks are typically located in the wings, fuselage, or empennage. The tanks are made of lightweight materials, such as aluminum or composite materials, and they are designed to withstand the high pressures and temperatures that occur during flight. Fuel transfer:  The fuel system transfers fuel from the storage tanks to the engines. The fuel is typically transferred by pumps, which are driven by the aircraft's engines or by electrical motors. The fuel system also includes valves that control the flow of fuel to the engines. Fuel metering:  The fuel system meters the fuel to the engines. The fuel is metered by a fuel control unit, which adjusts the flow of fuel to the engines based on the power setting and other factors. The fuel control unit also includes a fuel shutoff valve, which closes in the event of an engine failure. Fuel dumping:  The fuel system can dump fuel in an emergency. This is do...
