Fuel
is filled in two wing integral fuel tanks, one per each half-wing.
Each tank is divided with ribs Nos. 13 and 15 into three sections:
alternate, pump and wingtip part of fuel consumed tank pump section
together with wingtip - make the fuel consumed tank. Each engine
is supplies with fuel from tank of its wing. Fire shut-off valves
are installed in engine supply lines. The pipelines of both engines
are connected by means of fuel cross-feed line with valve of cross-feed
prior fire shut-off valves. It allows, if necessary, to supply fuel
from tank of one engine to another one or to supply two engines
from one while opening the cross-feed valve. By three non-return
valves, being between tanks and installed in lower parts of ribs
No. 3 and 15 allow to flow fuel to pump section from two adjacent
with itm.
Drainage
tanks system. Drainage of each tank is provided by its autonomous
system of drainage. The outward venting of tank sections is ensured
by drainage section, located in detachable part of wing.

Air
intake is installed in drainage section. To protect the tank from
damage at closed air intake, the drainage section is vent through
vacuum valve and over pressure valve. The drainage section is connected
to alternate fuel tank with pipeline and provides its drainage in
any position of aircraft. Drainage of pump section is made through
hole in upper part of rib No. 15 as well as through non-return valve
being between tanks and is installed in three in lower part of ribs
No. 13 and 15.
Fuel,
getting into the drainage section at changes of aircraft altitude,
drains via the pipeline in alternate fuel tank.
