Please don't tell me to ask a recruiter because I've been there and have done that, he handed me a book to look through. Also, both listed under mechanics, but ones civil engineering, and the other "fuel" is just under maintenance. What could be the difference? So.. Feel free to answer. Thank You! :)

Liquid fuels systems would be the Tank farm and hydrent systems that despense the fuel. Regular fuel could be sevicing from the gas station. Two different fuels maint, one being the vechiles and the other the Tank farms and fuel systems. I was a fuels specialist in the Air Force. We refueled Aircraft and vechiles. We also ran the tank farm and fuel dispensing systems. The maint was handled by CE for the dispensing systems and Transportation for the vechiles. e mail me if you have more questions

Well LIquid fuels deals with the Liquid Nitrogen, and other liquid tanks. They also are th section in charge of maintaining, and filling other gasses such as Argon, Oxygen for planes air system, as well for the cyclinder bottles. Mainly all the pressured gases.
The regular fuels works with the gas for cars, and trucks, they also transport and fill the JP-4 for the aircraft.
that is it in the basic mose any other questions just ask.

Fuel Cell guys work in maintenance squadrons and are responsible for making sure the system is in working condition, making all repairs, changes, inspections, etc. The guys who work CE in Fuels are the ones who actually do the pumping.
Depending on the airframe and where they are deploying, our guys deploy a lot. With F15s and F16s, if they are deploying... they're taking fuel shop with them!
One of the neat things about the career field is that it is not airframe specific. DH has worked over 10 different airframes in is 20+ year career.... Fighters, bombers, cargo... you name it, he's worked it! That's probably his fav thing... not stuck on the same frame! And any base is a possibility as long as they have planes.
Now... they do smell!! But not as bad as it used to be back in the days of JP4. And it's a smell you grow to love, believe it or not! While I enjoy him coming home non-smelly, I do miss it!
Oh, and they all misquote Apocalypse now..."I love the smell of (Insert fuel here) in the morning"

Carburetors paintings on Benoulli's concept. swifter shifting fluids (air is a fluid) exert much less tension than sluggish shifting fluids. appropriate comparable concept because of the fact the wings. interior the carburetor is a venturi that motives the air flowing with the aid of it to exert much less tension. That decrease tension attracts gas in pretty much the suited quantity mandatory with the aid of small orifices (referred to as jets) and it mixes with the air. the main difficulty with carburetors is icing on the throttle plate. The throttle place controls the quantity of gas and air going into the manifold and combustion chamber which in turn controls engine RPM & means. gas injection would not have a complication-loose carburetor. there's a throttle plate that controls the quantity of air stepping into the manifold. gas is injected at extreme tension (motives it to atomize into an excellent spray) into the manifold or immediately into the combustion chamber (based upon layout). the quantity of gas is controlled with the aid of pc. the pc reads the throttle place and adjusts the quantity of gas to that end. some engines have injectors for each cylinder. Others have one injector for the full manifold device. gas injected engines are much less companies to carburetor icing.
