1-10. LOCATIONAND DESCRIPION OFMAJOR COMPONENTS.
Refer to figure 1-1.
The AFARE consists of collapsible fuel drums, a turbine powered fuel pump, filter separator, pressure ,
reducing valve, fueling manifold, refueling nozzles and the necessary hoses, tees and couplings required to
assemble the system. The following paragraphs describe a typical AFARE system. Your mission and
operating environment may require connecting the components in a different configuration than the one
shown. All components are interchangeable.
a.
500 Gallon Drums (1). Three collapsible 500 gallon drums are supplied. The drums serve as the
primary fuel source for operating the system. The drums are cylindrical m shape with rounded ends
and are equipped with male quick disconnect adapters. The drums may be refilled or replaced when
empty. For location and description of major components on the 500 gallon drum, refer to TM10-
8110-203-12&P.
b.
Drum Couplers (2). Drum couplers are connected between the 500 gallon drums and the system fuel
hoses. Couplers are hand operated by a control lever mounted on top of the valve body.
c.
Tees (3). Tees are used to assemble the AFARE system and prevent sharp bends in fuel hoses. All
tees are equipped with 3-inch quick disconnect couplings.
d.
Suction Hoses (4). Non-collapsible suction hoses are used to distribute fuel from one component to
the other and are installed where suction pressures will occur. Suction hoses are supplied in two
diameters, 2-inch and 3-inch,and are equipped with quick disconnect couplings at both ends.
e.
Skid Mounted Fueling Manifold (5). The fueling manifold is skid mounted and comprised of hand
operated gate valves, tees and couplings. A cover is provided to protect the manifold during storage
and shipment. The manifold is supplied with 3-inch quick disconnect couplings.
f.
Discharge Hoses (6). Collapsible discharge hoses are used to distribute fuel from one component to
the other and are installed where discharge pressures will occur. Discharge hoses are supplied in two
diameters, 2-inch and 3-inch,and are equipped with quick disconnect couplings at both ends.
g.
Pressure Reducing Skid Assembly (7). The skid mounted pressure reducing assembly contains a
pressure regulator, gate valve, and related piping mounted on a metal skid. Both ends of the
assembly are equipped with quick disconnect couplings. A cover is provided to protect the assembly
during storage and shipment.
h.
Wyes (8). Wyes are used to assemble the AFARE system and are installed where fuel distribution
must be split. All wyes are equipped with 2-inch quick disconnect couplings.
