There is no dump valve on US operated F-16's. I can't speak for foreign operated a/c but I doubt any of them do either.

The closest thing to a dump valve on a Viper would be that big hole in the back with the fire in it. You can 'dump' a lot of fuel through it quickly under the right conditions...

Hi Scorpion,

Please give the <a href="index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=search">search function</a> in our forum a try. When you search for 'dump', it will show you topics like these:

<a href="f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-3179.html">Fuel trap system (fuel dump) on F-16?</a>
<a href="f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-81.html">Where is the fuel dump switch?</a>

Feel free to revive any of those threads.

I don't believe there is a way to dump integral fuel, the external stores, prior to engagement yes. All of them, simultaneously. Perhaps a leak from the pressure relief valve on top of the fuselage, (a malfunction) might let fuel dispense on an ascent or descent, if applicable to the malfunction.
