Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An oil tank filling system 50 for filling the oil tank 52 of a gas turbine engine that includes an aft core cowl. The system includes an oil tank 52 that has an oil tank top 66 and an oil tank bottom 68 and is located within a core 11 of the engine, an oil access port 55 located on the aft core cowl; and an oil tank filling pipe 56 that leads from the oil access port 55 to a tank filling port 58 located at or adjacent the oil tank bottom 68. The system is configured so that oil that is supplied to the oil access port flows to and into the oil tank using gravitational force. A method of filling the oil tank of a gas turbine engine and a gas turbine engine that includes the oil tank filling system are also disclosed.
