MIL-STD-1518E
c. Daily draining of filtration equipment sumps (see 5.1.6.2). d. Daily draining of refueler tank sumps (see 5.1.6.2).
e. Daily differential pressure checks across filtration equipment and weekly recording (see 5.1.7). f. Yearly calibration of meters and pressure gauges (see 5.1.8 through 5.1.9).
g. Monthly cleaning of nozzle screens on servicing equipment (see 5.1.11).
h. Beginning of contract period and six month continuity check of bonding reel/cable assemblies
(see 5.1.13).
i. Daily draining of storage tank sumps (see 5.2.1). j. Line displacing process (see 5.2.8).
k. Maintain written quality control procedures (see 5.4).
l. Beginning of contract period and every six months for testing of turbine fuel downstream of last filtration vessel (see 5.4.1).
m. Beginning of contract period and every six months for testing of aviation gasoline downstream of last filtration vessel (see 5.4.1).
n. Testing required in TABLE I, TABLE II, and TABLE III (see 5.4.2).
5.5 Additive blending. Fuel additives are combustible and toxic. Are harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin and causes eye irritation. Protective butyl rubber gloves shall be worn when handling fuel additives, corrosion inhibiter/lubricity, Improver (CI/LI), conductivity improver (SDA), thermal stability improver (+100 additive), and FSII. In laboratory animal studies, birth defects and adverse
effects on pregnancy have been observed and prolonged and repeated exposure has caused damage to male reproductive organs. Before handling fuel additives, consult appropriate safety and occupational health authorities.
5.5.1 Handling precautions. The following precautions are recommended when handling any of the fuel additives:
a. Skin contact with fuel additives should be avoided, but in the event of exposure the additive should be removed with soap and water.
b. In the event of eye contact, immediately flush the eyes with water. Continue flushing for 15 minutes and seek medical help as soon as possible.
c. When the additive is diluted with jet fuel the health hazards are significantly reduced.
5.5.2 Methods of blending. The two basic methods for putting additives into fuel are hand blending and use of a proportional injector. In all cases where hand blending is performed, the additive shall first be diluted with fuel. The greater the dilution, the easier it is for the additive to be mixed properly. The preferred method is proportional injection using a fuel driven design. This type injects additives proportionately at various flow rates. The addition of fuel additives by hand blending shall only be accomplished in either bulk storage tank (see 5.5.2.1) or the product tanks of refueling trucks (see
5.5.2.2).
