Common Name

Bleed Air
Compressed air produced by gas turbine engines as a byproduct. Bleed air on this
system is used to prime the pump and purge the air cleaner.
Priming

discharge side of the pump assembly. This vacuum allows fuel from the fuel source to
flow through the pump assembly and totally submerges the impeller with fuel.
