Which component filters the fuel before it reaches the engine in the UH-60S fuel system?

• A. HMU
• B. Fuel Filter
• C. Main Fuel Manifold
• D. Fuel Pressure Sensor

Answer: (B)

Filtering the fuel removes dirt and contaminants that can damage the engine’s metering and injection components. In the UH-60S fuel flow path, fuel from the tanks passes through a fuel filter first, so the fuel arriving at the HMU (fuel metering unit) and on to the engine is clean. The main fuel manifold distributes fuel to the engines, and the fuel pressure sensor monitors pressure rather than filtering. So the component that filters the fuel before it reaches the engine is the fuel filter.
