Yes it does.....but it should be gravity feed only. I may be wrong, and if I am I will be the first to bow down and say sorry.......however none of the pumps work on battery power only, so I may be right....  |

| You can bleed the jfs with the electrical fuel pumps. The boost pumps deliver about 20 psi if I remember correctly? |

Ever seen the inside of one of those $400 filters??
Unless the one I had was a oopsie from the factory, there is nothing inside. Picture the inside of a soda can and thats the JFS Filter.
I don't know what PSI if any is going through it, never had to troubleshoot a JFS problem. We (Fuels) just change the filter every other phase or when Tech data requires it. |

Well, it says in the description of this section:
"This particular forum is for everything related to F-16 Armament, fuel tanks, and other stores."
It is arguably most important to have fuel on your stores list. 
Three cheers for the silly civie!!!
I need a drink. Stoli and Diet Coke please?  |

It makes a good mixer with it, I call it a Kola- after the penninsula, that is.
I mostly just drink it straight with the Diet Coke as a chaser sometimes.  |
