A pump health monitoring system for an aircraft fuel pump. The health monitoring system compares environmental data to a reference environment and captures pump data when the environmental data matches the reference environment. The pump data captured is therefore normalized to the reference environment. A pump remaining useful life is calculated from the normalized pump data.

The present invention concerns a device for use in an aircraft fuel pressure sensor line. More particularly, but not exclusively, this invention concerns a fuel pressure sensor line connecting an aircraft fuel pump to a pressure sensor. The invention also concerns a fuel pressure sensor line reservoir for use with a sensor line connecting an aircraft fuel pump to a pressure sensor. An aircraft fuel pump system comprises an aircraft fuel pump and a pressure sensor connected the aircraft fuel pump via a sensor line. The sensor line includes a reservoir located between the aircraft fuel pump and the pressure sensor. The reservoir acts to prevent liquid contacting the pressure switch when the fuel pump is not active.
