When you work on aircraft, make sure that you obey all the AMM safety
procedures. This will prevent injury to persons and /or damage to the aircraft.
Here is an overview of main safety precautions relative to the fuel system.
The fuel is poisonous. Do not splash aircraft fuel in your eyes, mouth, nose, ears
or on your skin.
Use solvents/cleaning agents, sealants and other special materials only with a
good supply of air. Put on protective clothing to prevent personal contamination
and formation of static electricity.
Make sure that the ground safety locks are in position on the landing gear and
that the travel ranges of the flight controls are clear.

Ensure that the safety area is clear and clean. Respect the safety precautions
within the safety distances.
Make sure that the proper fire fighting equipment is available.
Put the ‘’ NO SMOKING ‘’ warning notices around the work area.
In the work area:
- do not use flames which do not have protection and do not use any material /
tool which may cause sparks,
- use only necessary and approved electrical / electronic equipment,
- make sure the air flow is sufficient to work safely otherwise use a respirator,
- do not pull or move metal objects along the ground,
- immediately flush away or remove any fuel leakage.

The refuel/defuel coupling is located beneath the R/H wing leading edge.
The fuel pumps are installed in canisters so they can be removed without
having to drain the tank.
The water drain valves enable to remove water which could collect in
quantities sufficient to cause malfunction of the engines.
The NACA intake opens the vent surge tank to external air.

FUEL SYSTEM SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 137/140

137/140 MENU

When you work on aircraft, make sure that you obey all the AMM safety
procedures. This will prevent injury to persons and /or damage to the aircraft.
Here is an overview of main safety precautions relative to the fuel system.
The fuel is poisonous. Do not splash aircraft fuel in your eyes, mouth, nose, ears
or on your skin.
Use solvents/cleaning agents, sealants and other special materials only with a
good supply of air. Put on protective clothing to prevent personal contamination
and formation of static electricity.
Make sure that the ground safety locks are in position on the landing gear and
that the travel ranges of the flight controls are clear.

Ensure that the safety area is clear and clean. Respect the safety precautions
within the safety distances.
Make sure that the proper fire fighting equipment is available.
Put the ‘’ NO SMOKING ‘’ warning notices around the work area.
In the work area:
- do not use flames which do not have protection and do not use any material /
tool which may cause sparks,
- use only necessary and approved electrical / electronic equipment,
- make sure the air flow is sufficient to work safely otherwise use a respirator,
- do not pull or move metal objects along the ground,
- immediately flush away or remove any fuel leakage.
