What precautions should be taken when re/defuelling with wide-cut fuels?

What is wide-cut fuel and how does it differ from kerosene?

<p>The airplane electrical supply should be switched off before refuelling starts, and remains off until refuelling ceases and the hoses have been removed.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Wide-cut fuel is an aviation turbine fuel that falls between gasoline and kerosene in the distillation range. Compared to kerosene, it has higher volatility (vapour pressure), lower flash point and lower freezing point.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Extra precautions to avoid arcing in the tank due to electrostatic discharge when re/defuelling with wide-cut fuel include switching off the airplane electrical supply before refuelling starts and remaining off until refuelling ceases and hoses have been removed. The risk of this type of arcing can be minimised by the use of a static dissipation additive in the fuel. When this additive is present in the proportions stated in the fuel specification, the normal fuelling precautions set out below are considered adequate.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Mixtures of wide-cut fuels and kerosene turbine fuels can result in the air/fuel mixture in the tank being in the combustible range at ambient temperatures, and the use of wide-cut fuel increases the risk of arcing in the tank due to electrostatic discharge.</p> Signup and view all the answers
