5 Fueling/Defueling Operational Instructions/Procedures 1. General Safety Precautions. Be familiar with local fire prevention measures, use, and operation of fire extinguishers available and procedures in case of fire. a. Check required firefighting equipment for proper stowage and condition. Before being placed into operation, refuelers shall have firefighting equipment as specified by the contract. b. Fire watches will position themselves and the extinguisher between the truck and the nozzle connection and in a position to observe the driver/ operator of the refueling truck. The fire extinguisher shall be within an arm s reach to the fire watch. Enclosure (2) delineates the proper placement of fire extinguishers during fueling operations. If at anytime the fire watch observes an unsafe condition, they will make a clutching motion at their throat to the driver/operator, who will discontinue refueling. This applies to over-wing and pressure fueling. c. Aircraft are not be serviced with fuel while the radio or radar transmitting equipment is in operation. Radios may be monitored. d. Special fueling requirements require notification of the NAS Pensacola Fire Chief and the Operations Duty Officer. Special conditions exist when any of the following situations prevail: (1) Experimental aircraft or those involving fueling systems with which servicing personnel are not thoroughly familiar. (2) Return to service of an aircraft that has undergone modification involving the fueling system. (3) Requirements for fueling or defueling under exceptional circumstances that may involve hazards beyond the control of operating personnel. e. Specific Precautions to Avoid Ignition Sources (1) Open all valves slowly. First crack the valve, then open slowly to full open. Enclosure (1)

6 (2) Shoes with exposed nails, metal plates, or hobnails will not be worn. (3) Grounding and bonding connections will be kept clean, unpainted, in good condition, and connected to only approved grounding points on the Tarmac. (4) Never begin fuel handling operation until all equipment is properly grounded and bonded. (5) Do not use a chamois filter for filtering fuels. Chamois filters increase the danger of static electricity. (6) Smoking will not be permitted in the refueling or defueling areas or within 100 feet of any fueling operation. (7) Do not permit or use open fires, matches, cigarette lighters, oil lanterns, or similar open flames within 100 feet of fuel handling operations.

Miscellaneous Procedures to Prevent Fires and Accidents (1) Keep all equipment and work areas neat, clean, orderly, and in good mechanical condition. (2) Have firefighting equipment and extinguishers in good condition and readily available. (3) Never use gasoline or jet engine fuels for cleaning purposes. (4) Never wash hands in aircraft fuels. (5) Place all oily waste and rags in self-closing metal containers. (6) All personnel involved in fueling operations shall wear the full working uniform at all times. Personnel are required to wear long sleeve shirts during hot refueling and shall have the sleeves rolled down. Fuel contained (soaked) clothing shall be removed as soon as possible, and any part of the body affected by fuel shall be washed with soap and water promptly. (7) Every precaution shall be taken to prevent spilling fuel. In cases where a fuel spill or breakdown of equipment does occur, fuel nozzles shall be shut off promptly, Fire Department shall be notified and fueling operations shall not recommence until the spill is cleaned up and disposed of properly as per reference (c). The equipment will be checked to ascertain cause of spill or breakdown. Once the cause is determined and corrected, fueling operations may continue. g. Health Hazards (1) Aviation gasoline and jet engine fuels are toxic. Personnel can be harmed from vapors, injury to skin and eyes, and the toxic effect of swallowing fuels. The following gives immediate action for the common hazards; however, affected personnel should seek professional medical care once able or if the condition persists. Vapors, when inhaled in sufficient quantities, can cause nausea, dizziness, and even death. 3 Enclosure (1)

8 Personnel should immediately stop the operation and move to a fresh air location. Both aviation gasoline and jet engine fuel may irritate the skin. Should any fuel accidentally contact the skin or clothes, personnel should remove the soaked clothes and wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. If fuel gets in the eyes, whether by a splash or high concentration vapor, personnel shall be taken to the nearest eye wash station to flush for a minimum of 15 minutes. The swallowing of gasoline is very harmful. Get medical attention immediately. (2) Wearing the proper uniform and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the best way to minimize exposure to any health hazard. In addition to having the right PPE, the following actions can minimize exposure to harmful situations and conditions: (a) Personnel are prohibited from entering enclosed or confined areas where fuel vapors are present without prior approval of the Fire Chief and Safety Officer. (b) Stay on the windward or upwind side to the maximum extent when fueling/defueling or when in an area where a large spill has occurred. (c) Aircraft fuel vapors are heavier than air. Avoid low areas such as sumps, pits, and ditches. (d) Stay Alert, Know What You Are Doing, Do Not Guess, and Always Work Safely. h. Refuelers and Defuelers (1) Aviation fuel vehicles shall not be parked where accumulations of oil, grease, fuel, or debris are located. (2) No refueler or defueler shall be used to tow or push another vehicle. (3) Backing of refuelers and defueling equipment shall be avoided when possible. It shall be the responsibility of all operators to assure the area is clear before and during reverse drive of vehicles. A lookout shall be posted during backing operations. (4) Vehicles shall come to a full stop before emerging from any line of aircraft. 4 Enclosure (1)

9 (5) The fueling unit shall approach aircraft in such a manner that operator's side of equipment is adjacent to the aircraft being serviced. The refueling unit shall be driven parallel to the flight line and parked no closer than 10 feet from aircraft's extremities. (6) Vehicles shall cross taxiways only at designated areas and shall come to a full stop prior to entering taxiway. (7) Vehicles shall not cut through any line of aircraft. angle. (8) Body-load trucks will not be turned at a sharp (9) No driver shall turn a vehicle or change its course of travel unless such movement can be made safely and only after giving appropriate signal. (10) Aviation fuel equipment on which deficiencies of a fire hazardous nature are detected shall be removed from the vicinity of aircraft and not used until repairs are completed. (11) All local traffic regulations shall be observed. Trucks must not operate faster than five miles per hour in any area of aircraft operations or parking. i. Cold Fueling Operations (1)Pressure refueling aircraft with trucks is at a minimum a two-person function requiring a nozzle operator, supplied from the squadron, maintenance department, or transient line, and a fuel truck driver/operator (contract employee). Nozzle operator may assume duties as fire watch after completing nozzle hook-up and fuel is flowing into aircraft. Fire watch will be in position as outlined in enclosure (2) and within arm distance of fire extinguisher. (2) If aircraft being serviced requires tank vents to be checked during fueling sequence, the squadron or activity concerned will supply extra personnel during the fueling evolution. Nozzle operator/fire watch will not check fuel vents. 5 Enclosure (1)

10 (3) During over-wing fueling procedure and defueling operations, an extra person from requesting activity will be required for fire watch. (4) After refuel unit is parked in position for fueling, driver's side door shall be left in open position for immediate access to cab if emergency situation occurs. In the event an emergency situation should arise, the driver s/operator s first concern would be to stop flow of fuel to aircraft by releasing deadman control valve and then removing fuel truck from area as quickly and safely as possible. (5) While actuating the remote, hand-held deadman valve, the driver/operator will ensure visual contact with nozzle operator/fire watch throughout refueling operation. Loss of visual contact requires driver/operator to release deadman s control valve, which disrupts fuel flow. (6) The fuel hose shall not pass underneath the aircraft's fuselage to reach single point refueling receptacle. j. Defueling Operations (1) For credit defuels, individuals certifying that the fuel meets specification must be on a authorized defuel listing. Updated listings should be provided to alongside aircraft refueling contractor. This individual must also complete an Aircraft Defueling Certificate found in reference (a) figure 12-12, prior to defuel. (2) A visual fuel sample will be required prior to credit defuels. (3) Three people shall be required for defueling operations: truck operator, hose nozzle handler, and fire watch. (4) Defueling will normally not be performed at night unless operationally required. (5) Defueling will be accomplished outside hangars and under controlled conditions similar to those required for fueling. 6 Enclosure (1)

11 (6) If necessary, additional wheeled-type fire extinguishers will be readily available and manned by the fire watch during defueling operations. 2. Fueling Procedures NOTE: When an activity or transient aircraft submits a refueling request and the refueling unit is subsequently delayed due to no flight crew on site, lack of equipment, safety factors, etc., driver will contact dispatcher and request dispatcher to contact requesting activity to verify whether or not to standby or cancel request for fuel. a. Personnel engaged in fueling operations shall discharge static electricity from their person before each operation by physically contacting equipment ground. Connect static bond cable on refueling equipment to the ground stake. b. Prior to handing the hose nozzle to the person doing the actual fueling, the nozzle operator shall bond the aircraft to the refueler by attaching the static ground cable to a bare metal portion of the aircraft (not the gas tank or propeller). c. Prior to removing the fuel cap, the nozzle operator shall bond the fuel nozzle to the aircraft. The nozzle shall be placed in position for fueling. The main shutoff valve and quick open/close valve shall then be opened and all static bonding checked prior to engaging the pumps. The fuel nozzle shall be kept in contact with the edge of the tank filler and the nozzle valve kept open manually during the fueling operations. The fuel nozzle shall not be placed on or dragged over the surface of the aircraft. d. Precaution shall be taken by both the operator and the person handling the nozzle to prevent spillage of fuel. e. When the fuel tank is filled to the desired level, the operator will disengage pump and close the quick open/close valve. f. The nozzle attendant shall then remove the nozzle from the tank, replace the tank cap, and disconnect the nozzle static bond cable from the aircraft. 7 Enclosure (1)

12 g. The nozzle attendant will assist the driver/operator to return the hose and nozzle to the stored position on the refueler in order to minimize wear and damage to the hose and refueling nozzle. Nozzles shall not be dragged. h. The static grounding cables shall be removed from the aircraft and then from the grounding stake and replaced in position on the refueling equipment. i. The main shutoff valve will then be closed if no more refueling operations are anticipated at that location. j. The fueling/oiling equipment shall then be removed from the immediate fueling/oiling area. k. In an emergency, the driver s/operator s first duties will be to release the deadman control and then operate the fire extinguisher while the nozzle operator disconnects the nozzle from the aircraft. The nozzle operator shall then resume the duties for the fire extinguisher while the driver/ operator reels in the hose and removes the truck from the area. 3. Defueling Procedures a. Each unit commander, based at Forrest Sherman Field, shall designate specified defueling area(s) as necessary to perform defueling. NOTE: Specific vehicles rigged for contaminated fuel will be used for defueling fuel suspected of being contaminated or when the rating cannot be determined. Fuel which is uncontaminated and of known grade may be returned to a refueler, dispensing the same grade or type of fuel, provided a manual valve is located so as to isolate the tank and the fuel as it enters the piping system on the suction side of the pump and is pumped through the water separation and filtering equipment before being discharged into the refueler tank. b. Personnel designated by organization commanders will prepare a Fuel Condition Certification, found in reference (a), with the estimated gallons (not pounds) of fuel to be removed from the aircraft and submit to defueler operator prior to beginning defueling operations. The operator will enter estimated pumping time and expected meter reading on the defueling certification. If actual pumping time exceeds the 8 Enclosure (1)

13 estimate by five minutes or if meter reading exceeds the estimate by ten percent, the operation will be discontinued and not resumed until authorized by the Contractor Dispatcher. c. Defueling operations are forbidden when refueler contains less than 1,000 gallons (in order to minimize turbulence in the tank). d. Recirculating valves shall remain closed throughout the defueling operation to permit accuracy in the measurements requirement by subparagraph 3b. above. However, prior to engaging the pump, cracking a valve to permit gravity fuel flow to prime the pump is permitted. If the pump subsequently loses its prime or begins to cavitate, the operation will be discontinued and not resumed until authorized by the Contractor Dispatcher and, in no event, prior to a one minute relaxation interval. e. Routine product circulation may not exceed 3 minutes if the refueler is less than half full. If the refueler is over half full, product circulation may be done in 10-minute periods with a 1 minute rest period to allow the charge to dissipate. CAUTION: The main shutoff valve shall be kept closed at all times when defueling operations are being performed. f. Personnel engaged in fueling operations shall discharge static electricity from their person before each operation by physically contacting equipment ground. Connect static bond cable on defueling equipment to the ground stake. g. Prior to handing the hose nozzle to the person doing the actual defueling, the nozzle operator shall bond the aircraft to the refueler by attaching the static ground cable to a bare metal portion of the aircraft (not the gas tank or propeller). h. Prior to removing the fuel cap, the nozzle operator shall bond the defuel nozzle to the aircraft. The nozzle shall be placed in position for defueling. The quick open/close valve shall then be opened and all static bonding checked prior to engaging the pumps. The defuel nozzle shall be kept in contact with the edge of the tank filler and the nozzle valve kept open manually during the defueling operations. The fuel nozzle shall not be placed on or dragged over the surface of the aircraft. 9 Enclosure (1)

14 i. Precaution shall be taken by both the operator and the person handling the nozzle to prevent spillage of fuel. j. When the fuel tank is defueled to the desired level, the operator will disengage pump and close the quick open/close valve. k. The nozzle attendant shall then remove the nozzle from the tank, replace the tank cap, and disconnect the nozzle static bond cable from the aircraft. l. The nozzle attendant will assist the driver/operator to return the hose and nozzle to the stored position on the refueler in order to minimize wear and damage to the hose and defueling nozzle. Nozzles shall not be dragged. m. The static grounding cables shall be removed from the aircraft and then from the grounding stake and replaced in position on the refueling equipment. n. The fueling equipment shall then be removed from the immediate fueling area. o. In an emergency, the driver s/operator s first duties will be to release the deadman control and then operate the fire extinguisher while the nozzle operator disconnects the nozzle from the aircraft. The nozzle operator shall then resume the duties for the fire extinguisher while the driver/operator reels in the hose and removes the truck from the area. 10 Enclosure (1)
