Updated: 07Sep2020 # Fuel System The main fuel storage in the F-14 consists of two feed systems, one for each engine. The right engine feed system consists of the right wing and right box cells and the front fuselage cells while the left engine feed system consists of the left wing and left box cells in addition to the aft fuselage cells. This fact needs to be kept in mind when reading the fuel gauges. The total useable fuel quantity is roughly 20,000 pounds distributed as in the table below. | Tank group | Pounds | | ---------------- | ------ | | Forward Fuselage | 4,700 | | Aft Fuselage | 4,400 | | Right Feed Group | 1,600 | | Left Feed Group | 1,500 | | Internal Wings | 4,000 | | External Tanks | 3,600 | ![[Pasted image 20230905173614.png]] # Fuel System Indications and Controls Located in position 2 and 9 on upper diagram to the right.
