Wing decals shall be filled.
All ovcrwingjct fucl nozzles are cquippcd with thc wide jet nozzle spout.
Thc customer shall be advised to noti’ the refuelling staff of any change in the standing order requirement if the aircraft type or grade fuel rcquiremcnt changes.
A delivery ticket with grade and quantity shall be left with the fuelled aircraft where unattended fuellings occur. This provides the customer with the opportunity to confirm the grade supplied prior to operating the aircraft after fuelling.
At locations where it is impractical to have the jet fuel wide nozzle spout fitted because of the high number of aircraft unable to accept them (more than five overwing fuellings per shift requiring the small jet nozzle spout) then the following procedure shall be adopted:
The smaller diameter jet nozzle spout shall be permanently tilled.
A Fuel Order Register of jet aircraft that cannot accept the wide jet nozzle spout shall be developed. The Fuel Order Register requires a historical log with dates for any revisions and it shall be reviewed at least every six months for correctness. In addition to sighting the grade decals in order to obtain written contirmation of the grade required, the refuelling stall shall also verify whether the aircraft is on the Fuel Order Register. Aircraft not identified on this Fuel Order Register must have a nonnal Fuel Order Form completed. Aircraft identified on the Fuel Order Rcuister hut without decals must also have a Fuel Order Form co.unleted Any aircraft NOT on the register shall only he fuelled by confirmation of aircraft decal and completion of a Fuel Order Fonn.
2.8 GRADE DFCALS FOR REFUEllING
EQUIPIENT
Often airporL will have similar looking fuelling vehicles or other fuelling equipment supplying both jet fuel and avgas. While grade confirmation procedures ensure identification of the correct grade, it is still possible to incorrectly identify the equipment and hence deliver the wrong grade into aircraft.
Aviation fuel dispensing vehicles
The identifying product grade labels (sec El 1542) shall be applied to the front, back, sides, and prominently displayed inside the driving compartment. in addition the grade decals should he visible from each fuelling hose reel and fueller bottom load adapter.
Stationary/curbside fuelling cabinets
Fuelling cabinets, which coer piping. fitters. pumps. valves and hose reels, should bear grade identification labels (see lii 1542). Labels for the specific grade should be installed on all sides, tops. and inside main access doors to stationary fuelling equipment.
Dispensing nozzles
Overwing nozzles shall be colour-coded or use colour-coded handles in the product grade colour (i.e. jet fuel — black; avgas – redj which will assist in identification of the correct grade when fuelling aircraft. The use of small grade decals in addition to painting the nozzle or using colour-coded handles can be an additional safeguard. It is also recommended components of the nozzle, such as the spout, which come in contact with fuel or aircraft connectors, should not he painted.
2.9 QLJAI.ITY COTROI. OF SITF FUFI.
SUPPI.Y AX!) SF.I.ICTIVITY
Adherence to the quality control procedures required at each site will assist in identifying that the correct grade of fuel has been received and (hat fuel remains uncontaminated at the airport prior to delivery to (he customer. Such quality control checks shall include:
Ensuring the API gravity or density measurement falls in the appropriate range for the grade of fuel being delivered.
The API gravity or density checks arc compared to receiving quality documentation and fall within the acceptable tolerance limits.
