A-26 engine oil

[wasone]

Can someone tell me if the A-26 has a oil shutoff from tank to the engines and if so is it electric or manual? thanks

Not unless someone installed one, aftermarket.

The feather switch on the panel of the B-25 cuts the fuel and oil if I remember right. Does the A-26 have this as well??

[skymstr02]

The fuel valves on the B-25 are mechanical, not electrical, so the feather button only turns on the feather pump circuit.

The original equipment on the A-26 is as Skymstr describes for the b-25.

Roger that , I thought when the feathering switch is selected, it shut off everything firewall forward...

That's OK Lynn, I'll be sure to let you know when the B-25 ground school is next February so you can get a refresher!

Yep, rotation, temp, oil pressure and start the clock...

There's also no Oil cutoff on B-25s, unless installed aftermarket.

On the B-25, the feather button feathers the prop. That's it.

The fuel shut off knob, on the panel, is pulled to shut off the fuel. It's not a POL shut off.

Side note: There's a WWII "How to fly a B-25" training film online that was made using an early model B-25 with the rear turret. It shows the fuel shut offs to be a pointing arrow type of knob that is turned a quarter turn to shut off the fuel. They were beside each other, but I couldn't tell the location in the plane from the video.

"Show Me!'s" fire pull mechanically shuts off the fuel and electrically shuts off the oil.

Any idea whose got the STC for it?
