Outline the two main fuel networks on the UH-60 and how crossfeed is used during operations.

• A. Left and right fuel tanks are not connected and do not share fuel.
• B. Left and right fuel tanks are connected to engines; crossfeed allows drawing fuel from either side to balance and feed engines if one side is low.
• C. A single fuel tank feeds both engines; crossfeed is not used.
• D. Fuel is stored only externally.

Answer: (B)

Two main fuel networks exist on the UH-60: left-wing and right-wing fuel systems, each delivering fuel to its respective engine through its own feed lines. Crossfeed ties these networks together, allowing fuel to flow from either wing to either engine. This setup lets you balance fuel between sides during flight and ensures continued engine feed if one side runs low or if a fuel-pressure issue arises on one network. In practice, crossfeed is used to maintain proper fuel balance and engine supply, rather than relying on a single tank feeding both engines.
