1-10. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS.|
Refer to figure 1-1.
The AFSSP system consists of two AFSSP modules. The AFSSP module consists of collapsible fuel tanks, a turbine
powered fuel pumps, filter separators, fueling manifolds, refueling nozzles and the necessary hoses, tees and couplings
required to assemble the system. The following paragraphs describe a typical AFSSP module. Your mission and
operating environment may require connecting the components in a different configuration than the one shown. All
components are interchangeable.
a.
6-inch Valve Section (1). Two 6-inch valve sections are supplied. The valve sections is comprised of hand
operated gate valves and couplings.
b.
Wves (2). Wyes are used to assemble the AFSSP system and are installed where fuel distribution must be split
between two hoses. All wyes are equipped with 6-inch quick disconnect couplings.
c.
600 GPM Pump Assembly (3). The pump assembly is a self contained, skid mounted unit powered by a turbine
engine. The pump assembly provides the force required to distribute fuel from the 3,000, 10,000 or 20,000
gallon tanks to the fuel dispensing nozzles. For location and description of major components on the 600 GPM
pump assembly, refer to TM 10-4320-342-10.
d.
4-inch Hoses (4). Collapsible (discharge) 4-inch hoses are used to distribute fuel from one component to the
other. Hoses are equipped with quick disconnect couplings at both ends.
e.
4-inch Manifold (5). The four inch manifold contains a gate valve and tee. The manifold is used to assemble the
AFSSP system and provide control of fuel flow. The manifold is equipped with quick disconnect couplings.
f.
Tank Assemblies (6). Three collapsible tanks are supplied. The tanks serve as the primary fuel source for
operating the system. The tanks are pillow-shaped and are equipped with 90° elbows for use in connecting the
tank to system hoses. The tanks may be refilled or replaced when empty. For location and description of major
components on the 3,000, 10,000 or 20,000 gallon tanks, refer to TM 10-5430-231-12.
g.
6-inch Manifold (7). The fueling manifold is comprised of hand operated valves, tees and couplings. The
manifold is supplied with 6-inch quick disconnect couplings.
h.
6-inch Hoses (8). Non-collapsible (suction) 6-inch hoses are used to distribute fuel from one component to the
other and are equipped with quick disconnect couplings at both ends.
i.
Elbows (9). Elbows are used to assemble the AFSSP system and prevent sharp bends in fuel hoses. All
elbows are equipped with 4-inch quick disconnect couplings.
