MIL-STD-1518E
(4) ABC multipurpose dry chemical fire extinguishers (ammonium phosphate) shall not be placed on aircraft fueling vehicles, airport fuel servicing ramps, or aprons, or at airport fuel facilities. Multipurpose dry chemical (ammonium phosphate) fire extinguishing agent is known to cause corrosion to aluminum aircraft components. Although the agent is capable of extinguishing fires on or near aircraft, it is likely that the agent will spread to other, uninvolved aircraft, causing damage from corrosion.
(5) Carbon dioxide extinguishers should not be selected due to their limited range and effectiveness in windy conditions.
(6) Each aircraft fuel servicing tank vehicle shall have two listed fire extinguishers, each having a rating of at least 20-B:C, with one extinguisher mounted on each side of the vehicle.
(7) One listed fire extinguisher having a rating of at least 20-B:C shall be installed on each hydrant fuel servicing vehicle or cart.
e. The fuel-servicing operator shall remain at the fuel servicing equipment and continuously observe the equipment and aircraft for fuel leaks. Servicing operations shall be stopped whenever a leak or deficiency of a hazardous nature is detected.
f. Aircraft with an operating radar or radio shall not be serviced.
g. Aircraft shall not be serviced when there are electrical storms within a five-mile radius. Consideration should be given to terminate operations when lightning is detected 25 miles out. This will ensure adequate time for operations to be safely terminated and personnel to seek appropriate shelter.
h. Servicing personnel shall not wear 100 percent nylon outer garments and shall not remove or put on clothing during servicing.
5.4 Quality assurance at contractor facilities. The purpose of this section is to establish minimum quality procedures required to deliver clean, dry fuel to aircraft on a continuing basis. The contractor is required to maintain written quality control procedures covering (1) source of fuel supply, (2) receiving,
(3) storing, (4) servicing, (5) sampling and testing, (6) calibration of measuring and test equipment, (7) safety, (8) maintenance, (9) reports and (10) corrective actions.
5.4.1 Sample Submission. The contractor is required to obtain, package, and ship samples of each grade of aviation fuel and aviation gasoline to a U.S. Government testing laboratory designated in the contract or as directed by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) representative or contracting officer. The sample size shall be one-gallon and must be accompanied by a completed DD Form 1222. The DD Form 1222 must identify a U.S. Government fuel surveillance representative (DCMA or Contracting Officer) by name, e-mail address, and phone number. Samples received without identifying a representative shall not be tested until the proper information is received. The frequency of sample submission shall be at the beginning of the contract period and once every six months thereafter
5.4.1.1 Sample container. Samples shall be taken in an epoxy coated can suitable for thermal stability testing as defined in ASTM D4306. Sample containers shall be flushed 3 times with the container
10 to 20 percent filled with the same product being sampled.
5.4.1.2 Sample location. The sample to be submitted for testing shall be taken during flow downstream of the last filtration vessel prior to the aircraft or engine test cell.
5.4.1.3 Analysis of sample. The analysis of turbine fuel samples shall consist of flash point and freezing point. Any other tests desired or required (i.e. additive concentrations when required by contract)
shall be specifically requested on the DD Form 1222. The analysis of aviation gasoline shall consist of
