Editing Aircraft engine controls (section)

==Fuel==
*'''Fuel primer pump''' - A manual pump to add a small amount of fuel at the cylinder intakes to assist in starting a cold engine.  Fuel-injected engines do not have this control. For fuel-injected engines, a fuel boost pump is used to prime the engine prior to start.
*'''Fuel quantity gauge''' - Indicates the amount of fuel remaining in the identified tank.  One per fuel tank. Some aircraft use a single gauge for all tanks, with a selector switch that can be turned to select the tank one wishes to have displayed on the shared gauge, including a setting to show the total fuel in all tanks. An example of switch settings could be "Left, Right, Fuselage, Total". This saves room on the instrument panel by negating the need for four different dedicated fuel gauges.
*'''Fuel select valve''' - Connects the fuel flow from the selected tank to the engine.

If the aircraft is equipped with a [[fuel pump]]:
*'''Fuel pressure gauge''' - Indicates the supply pressure of fuel to the carburetor (or in the case of a fuel-injected engine, to the fuel controller.)
*'''Fuel boost pump switch''' - Controls the operation of the auxiliary electric fuel pump to provide fuel to the engine before it starts or in case of failure of the engine-powered fuel pump. Some large aeroplanes have a fuel system that allows the flight crew to jettison or dump the fuel. When operated, the boost pumps in the fuel tanks pump the fuel to the dump chutes or jettison nozzles and overboard to the atmosphere.
