Abstract:
A system for purging an aircraft fuel reservoir includes a body (48) configured to be assembled on the aircraft fuel reservoir (16) and a valve (50), received in the body (48), and having a released configuration of an outlet channel (70) and a tight closed configuration of the outlet channel (70). The system further comprises a transport pipe (44) secured to the body (48), the transport pipe (44) being configured to be fluidly connected to a fuel supply pipe (20) configured to supply an energy producing device. The transport pipe (44) extends at least between a fuel suction inlet (52) and a discharge outlet (54), the suction inlet (52) being configured to emerge in the aircraft fuel reservoir (16) and the discharge outlet (54) being configured to emerge in the supply pipe (20) when the body (48) is mounted on the aircraft fuel reservoir (16).
