8. Examine the metering plug: See Figure 4.28.
• Fuel, drawn from the central column via the long
fuel feed leg, is metered by the brass orifice in the
tip of the metering plug.
• Air, drawn from the emulsion air port, is metered by
the size of the brass orifice at the entrance to the
port.
• The fuel and air that feed the pilot and transition
ports are mixed at the metering plug.
• The metering plug creates a small venturi. The
pressure drop of the air passing through the meter-
ing plug draws the fuel into the passage to the pilot
and transition ports, in an emulsified mixture.
