Aviation Fuelling
Two concepts must be kept in mind with aviation
refueling systems:
- Clean, dry fuel must be supplied as aircraft can not be pulled over
to the road side in the event an engine fails of fuel contamination. A plane crashing
is the worst and early, high maintenance costs are the least result of
wet, dirty fuel.
- Safe handling of the fuel is essential! To get clean, dry fuel
most use filtration which by it's very nature will lend a static
charge to the product. This static charge if not allowed to dissipate
may cause the fuel to explode. I have seen filter elements blown
apart, I have seen fires caused by the simple act of draining fuel
into a pail!
A properly designed system must be both safe and efficient at producing
clean, dry fuel. |

During my time with ESSO I built or upgrade all of their
aviation systems at:
- airports (20),
- bulk plants (10),
- distribution
terminals (4).
I was with McIntosh Supply (6 yrs.) as shop manager designing and building
the industry standard
"McIntosh Aviation
Cabinet"

| With today's high fuel costs and environmental concerns a
system designed to meet your needs is essential! Do not let an
inexperienced person put a design together that is either insufficient or
beyond your requirements. |
