3.2 ac replenishment Flashcards
when working with msds, what must you always do with ppe
wear the approved ppe as outlined in the msds when carrying out replenishing procedures
describe the nato code for fuel
letter/ number code and a symbol to identify fol products
describe the bjsd for fuel
consists mainly of two or more letters followed by a number
letters- code designating the product
numbers- refer to properties such as viscosity and consistency
how do you identify the correct fuel to be used

what main type of aviation kerosene do we use
what additional types are used
avtur fsII
f34
additional type 1- avtur
f35
jet a-1
additional type 2-
avcat
f44
what types of additives do we use with kerosene based fuel
fuel system icing inhibitors- fsII
anti static additive- ASA
what does FSII do in addition to its main purpose
prevent microbiological growths in the fuel tanks
sources of fuel supply
tanker refuelling
hydrant refuelling
fuel bladder or fuel cell, used with a pump and filter
drum, used with a pump and filter
personal danger with regards to fuel and fuel hazards
toxicity inhalation-nil at room temp eye-minimal skin-minimal oral-slight aspiration- highly hazardous
asphyxiation
dermatitis
removes the natural fats from skin
explain the classifications of fuel contamination
chemical
inadvertent mixing of two or more hydrocarbon fuels or contact of another chemical with fuel
-effects the chemical and physical properties of the fuel and is only detected by laboratory testing
- chemical contamination is prevented by isolating fuels, providing separate handling systems and good housekeeping
biological
- causes fuel to be corrosive, and subsequent damage to ac fuel system
- prevented by fuel quality control, drainage and inspection
what are the types of water contaminants
dissolved
-absorbed by fuel. no effect on ac systems unless precipitated out by cooling
free
-large droplets which stick to the side of the container, or in large groups that settle at the bottom of the tank
entrained
-very fine, cloud like. usually settles to the bottom of the tank
types of emulsions found in contaminated fuel
water
fuel
sediments found in contaminated fuel are usually generated from which sources
rust, dust, grains, tank scales, paint, brass particles, al and fibres, sand
- tanks, pipes, hoses and containers which store the fuel
how are fine particles removed from ac fuel systems
micronic filters with a coalescer fitted to the dispensing vehicle and equipment
safety measures for controlling the quality of fuel
take a fuel sample on ac at first flight of day
dissolved water check at the source/supply
- base refueling section responsible for carrying out checks when ..
fuel is delivered to base by the contractors,
every morning on fuel stored in tanks
every morning on any rnzaf fuel dispensing equipment
a fuelling zone surrounding a fuel vent takes how long to dissipate to a safe level
1 minute after fuel transfer has ceased
when can you refuel/defuel in a hanger and what restrictions must be applied
when a senior engineering officer permits
a manned foam producing fire vehicle to be stationed immediately outside the hanger doors
the hanger doors must be opened
a towing vehicle and driver positioned to remove the aircraft and the equipment in case something goes wrong
what are the safety distances for the operation of transmitters with regards to herf
fuelling and defuelling operations to be carried out so that fuelling zones are at least
10m from any operating vhf or uhf radio
30m from any operating hf radio
30m from any radiating radar
approved flightline management radios of less than 5watts output can be used up the the fuel zone boundaries
