Fuel System Operation.
WARNINGS
Fueling operations are potentially dangerous. Make sure you
identify and eliminate all safety hazards before operating the fuel
system. If a fuel spill occurs during refueling, immediately shutdown
the system, isolate the defective components(s) and clean up spilled
fuel in accordance with local regulations. Observe the following
safety precautions and warnings to prevent injury to personnel and
damage to equipment.
•
Do not allow smoking within 100 feet of the AFSSP. Fuel
vapors are extremely flammable. Post NO SMOKING signs
around refueling area. Do not operate system or components
near open flame or excessive heat. Death or injury could result
from exploding or burning fuel. Suitable and properly charged
fire extinguishers must be available at all times.
•
Wear protective goggle and gloves. Use fuel resistant gloves
when handling system components due to toxic effects of some
fuel additives. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes. If fuel
contacts eyes, immediately flush eyes with clean fresh water
and get medical attention.
•
Avoid getting fuel on your body or clothing. Fuel can cause
chemical burns on unprotected skin. If clothing becomes
saturated with fuel, remove clothing immediately and wash you
body with hot soapy water.
•
Do not breathe fuel vapors. Refuel only in well-ventilated area.
Vapors are toxic and can cause serious illness or death. If
dizziness occurs, leave area and get fresh air. Get medical
attention.
•
Static discharge could ignite the fuel or cause an explosion of
the fuel vapor. Do not operate the system until properly
grounded or bonded.
•
Be certain that nozzles are properly bonded to the aircraft or
vehicle being refueled. Make sure the 600 GPM pumps and 200
GPM filter-separators ground rods are installed and connected.
•
Radio transmitters can cause an arc at antennas. Do Not
ground equipment to a radio antenna. Do not transmit during
refueling operations.
•
Before operation, be certain all system components are securely
connected to avoid fuel spills. If fuel spills occurs, cover the
area with dry soil to reduce rate of vaporization. During
operation avoid fuel spills as much as possible. Make sure fire
extinguishers are charged and readily available in case of a fire.
