Abstract
One example of an aircraft fuel transfer chamber includes a chamber housing including a first sub-chamber defining a first inlet to be connected to an outer tube of a first aircraft fuel line assembly. The first sub-chamber receives fuel leaked into the outer tube of the first aircraft fuel line assembly from an inner tube of the first aircraft fuel line assembly. The chamber housing also includes a second sub-chamber connected to the first sub-chamber, the second sub-chamber defining a second inlet to be connected to an outer tube of a second aircraft fuel line assembly. The second sub-chamber receives fuel leaked into the outer tube of the second aircraft fuel line assembly from an inner tube of the second aircraft fuel line assembly. The chamber housing defines an outlet connected to the first inlet and the second inlet to transfer leaked fuel toward a drain of the aircraft.
