System Description
The fuel selector valve is a four-position rotating valve that controls fuel flow from the two wing tanks of the Cessna 190. It operates by rotating the fuel selector handle to select Left, Both, Right, or Off positions. The valve's internal mechanism ensures proper fuel flow based on the selected configuration.
Part Removal, Replacement, and Service Information
To replace an existing Cessna fuel selector valve with the McFarlane valve, refer to the applicable Cessna service manual. Initial installation does not require flow capacity inspection or leak checks, as these are performed at McFarlane prior to shipping. Subsequent maintenance must follow the provided instructions.
Fuel Selector Valve Assembly Instructions
The assembly process includes checking clearances, installing O-rings, and ensuring proper lubrication. Specific measurements for valve body clearance and cover plate clearance must be adhered to, with tolerances specified to ensure proper function.
Flow Capacity Inspection
The fuel selector valve must achieve a minimum deflection of .062 inches during inspection. This is measured by comparing the lifted height in various positions to the seated height in the OFF position. All valve deflections must meet or exceed this minimum to be considered airworthy.
Leak Check Inspection
To ensure the valve does not leak in the OFF position, an air source is applied to the outlet while submerged in solvent. Any bubbles indicate a leak, necessitating disassembly and repair.
Safety notes
- Ensure all inspections are completed before returning the valve to service.
- Use only fuel-soluble lubricants to avoid contamination of the fuel system.

PMA Fuel Selector Valve assembly, P/N: MC0311070. The MC0311070 valve assembly is a direct replacement for the Cessna 0311070 fuel selector valves. Listed below is the fuel selector valve and its associated Cessna aircraft. McFarlane P/N Eligible Cessna Aircraft* MC0311070 190**, 195 (LC-126A,B,C)**, 195A**, 195B** * Part eligibility presented as reference, consult FAA Part Manufacturer Approvals for specific valve eligibility. ** Indicates partial model eligibility. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION A key component of the Cessna 190 series fuel systems is the fuel selector valve. It is a four position, rotating valve that controls fuel flow from the two wing tanks. It is operated by rotating the fuel selector handle to the desired system configuration, e.g. Left, Both, Right, Off. The fuel selector handle, which is connected directly to the cam, rotates and forces the cam lobe to contact one or both of the two internal valves depending on selected configuration. When contacted, each valve is displaced and fuel flow begins. SPECIAL OPERATING INFORMATION The control and operation of the fuel selector valve does not change; see the applicable Cessna service manuals for the operational control of this system. PART REMOVAL, REPLACEMENT, AND SERVICE INFORMATION Use the Cessna instructions, per the applicable Cessna service manual, to remove an existing Cessna fuel selector valve and replace it with the McFarlane fuel selector valve. For the initial installation of a McFarlane valve, no flow capacity inspection, rotation sensitivity inspection, or valve leak check is required. This has been done at the McFarlane facility prior to shipping. For any subsequent maintenance or repair of the McFarlane fuel selector valve assembly, use the instructions and special considerations provided in the sections that follow. All inspections listed in this document must be successfully completed prior to returning the McFarlane valve to service. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness McFarlane Aviation Inc.

Current version can be found at: www.McFarlaneAviation.com/ICA Page 9 of 11 McFarlane Drawing: 1243, Rev B FLOW CAPACITY INSPECTION Prior to returning the fuel selector valve to service, inspect it for proper ball lift (valve deflection). This must be checked for each inlet in both single and combined fuel source settings. Due to the valve design, these settings must be checked in both clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation directions. McFarlane valves have a minimum deflection requirement of .062”, where deflection is equal to lifted height (“LEFT/BOTH/RIGHT”) minus seated height (“OFF”). A typical setup is seen below with a caliper/step gage and a tight-fitting gauge pin being used to measure ball height. NOTE: FUEL FLOW THROUGH THE SELECTOR VALVE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO VALVE LIFT. TYPICAL VALVE DEFLECTION MEASUREMENT The gauge pin must have flat-ends for accurate readings. In order to reduce inaccuracy of measurements, the suggested pin gauge size is .421+. ACCEPTANCE: To accept the fuel selector assembly as airworthy, all valve deflections must meet or exceed the minimum valve deflection of .062 inches. If the fuel selector valve and the cam fail to meet the minimum valve deflection, repeat steps 1 through 11, and re-measure and compare valve deflection results.

Current version can be found at: www.McFarlaneAviation.com/ICA Page 10 of 11 McFarlane Drawing: 1243, Rev B ROTATION SENSITIVITY INSPECTION Check the rotational sensitivity of the McFarlane Fuel selector valve by manipulating it through the process described below. RIGHT Position Check 1. Turn the valve control turned to the RIGHT detent position. 2. Insert a gage pin (use the same tool as was used in the flow capacity inspection) into the RIGHT inlet. 3. Apply and maintain gentle pressure to the exposed end of gage pin. 4. Slowly rotate the valve control to the CLOSED position. Note the location of the balls in relation to the detent pockets when gage pin first moves; this indicates the valve is beginning to close. LEFT Position Check 1. Turn the valve control turned to the LEFT detent position. 2. Insert a gage pin into the LEFT inlet. 3. Apply and maintain gentle pressure to the exposed end of gage pin. 4. Slowly rotate the valve control to the CLOSED position. Note the location of the balls in relation to the detent pockets when gage pin first moves; this indicates the valve is beginning to close. BOTH Position Check 1. Turn the valve control to the BOTH position. 2. Insert the gage pin into the RIGHT inlet. 3. Apply and maintain gentle pressure to the exposed end of gage pin. 4. Slowly rotate the valve control to the LEFT position. Note the location of the balls in relation to the detent pockets when gage pin first moves; this indicates the right side is beginning to close. 5. Return the valve control in the BOTH position, insert the gage pin into the LEFT inlet. 6. Slowly rotate the valve control to the RIGHT position. Note the location of the balls in relation to the detent pockets when gage pin first moves; this indicates the left side is beginning to close. ACCEPTANCE: In each of the four required inspection rotations, the balls must be clear of the detent pockets before a notable change in pin position is observed. LEAK CHECK INSPECTION A functioning fuel selector valve must not leak in the OFF position. If a leak is found, disassemble valve as required and repair. When corrected, repeat the leak check procedure. NOTE: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IS DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY LEAKS IN THE FUEL SELECTOR VALVE. THIS IS CONDUCTED AT A STANDARD PRESSURE. LEAK CHECK - OUTLET PRESSURE CHECK 1. Turn the fuel selector valve to the OFF position. 2. Attach an air source to the fuel outlet fitting. Apply 2.0 to 3.0 psig of regulated dry air to the outlet. 3. Submerge pressurized valve in clean Stoddard solvent or clean mineral spirits. 4. Check for leakage out of the left or right inlet fittings and at any o-ring or gasket locations - Leaks are typified by small streams of bubbles rising to the surface from the leaking location. Though, any bubbles coming out of the valve indicates leakage. 5. Remove valve from solvent. 6. Rotate the valve counter-clockwise to RIGHT and back to the OFF position. 7. Re-submerge the pressurized valve into the solvent. 8. Check for leakage out of the left or right inlet fittings and at any o-ring or gasket locations. 9. Remove valve from solvent. 10. Rotate the valve clockwise to LEFT 11. and back to the OFF position. 12. Re-submerge the pressurized valve into the solvent. 13. Check for leakage out of the left or right inlet fittings and at any o-ring or gasket locations. 14. Remove valve from solvent and wipe off any remaining solvent. ACCEPTANCE: The functioning fuel selector valve must not leak in the “off” valve position. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness McFarlane Aviation Inc.
