Fuelling Demands
The new era of fast flying aircraft brought with it a very important problem of fuelling and refuelling. High-fuel consumption and high fuelling rates – these are two main problems which must be taken into account when designing modern fuelling systems. An aircraft fuelling service must be able to deliver safely and economically the required quantities of the correct grades of fuel to the aircraft. The fueller or trailer should contain enough fuel for operation and have the correct grade marking. The grade marking should always be displayed on the front, rear, and both sides of each vehicle. The fire extinguishers must be installed on the fuelling vehicle. Aircraft fuel must be clean. Aviation fuels must pass through the filtration element. Various types of micro-filters are in use; basically they consist of a vessel containing paper filtration elements through which all the fuel must pass. Most solids are retained on the elements, although some falls into the sump or bottom of the vessel.
