Which fuel tank component distributes fuel from the tank to different lines or engines?

• A. Fuel manifolds
• B. Sump box
• C. Vents
• D. Ejectors

Answer: (A)

Distributing fuel from the tank to multiple lines or engines is handled by the fuel manifold. The manifold acts as a central hub that collects fuel from the tank and routes it into the various feed lines that go to each engine or subsystem, helping ensure the fuel reaches each destination as needed and at the right pressure.

The other components have different roles: a sump box gathers sediment and water from the bottom of the tank to keep pumps clean; vents allow air and vapor to escape to prevent pressure buildup; ejectors use Venturi effects to move fuel or assist pumping in some systems but are not the primary distribution point.
