API IP RP 1597:2006 pdf download.PROCEDURES FOR OVERWING FUELLING TO ENSUREDELIVERY OF THE CORRECT FUEL GRADE TO AN AIRCRAFT.
Wing decals shall be fitted.
All ovcrwingjct fuel nozzles arc cquipped with the
wide jet nozzle spout.
The customcr shall be advised to notify the refuelling stafTof any change in the standing order requirement if the aircraft type or grade fuel requirement changes.
A delivery ticket with grade and quantity shall be left with the fuelled aircraft where unattended fuellings occur. This provides the customer with the opportunity to confirm the grade supplied prior to operating the aircraft after fuelling.
At locations where it is impractical to have the jet fuel wide nozzle spout fitted because of the high number of aircraft unable to accept them (more than five overwing fliellings per shift requiring the small jet nozzle spout) theii the following procedure shall be adopted:
The smaller diameter jet nozzle spout shall be permanently fitted.
A Fuel Order Register of jet aircraft that cannot accept the wide jet nozzle spout shall be developed. The Fuel Order Register requires a historical Log with dates for any revisions and it shall be reviewed at least every six months for correcrness. In addition to sighting the grade decals in order to obtain written confirmation of the grade required. the refuelling staff shall also verify whether the aircraft is on the Fuel Order Register. Aircraft not identified on this Fuel Order Register must have a normal Fuel Order Form completed. Aircraft identified on the Fuel Order Register hut without decals must also have a Fuel Order Form eomDleted. Any aircraft NOT on the register shall only be fuelled by confirmation of aircraft decal and completion of a Fuel Order Fonn

EQUIPMENT
Often airports will have similar looking Fuelling vehicles or other fuelling equipment supplying both jet fuel and avgas. While grade confirmation procedures ensure identification of the correct grade, it is still possible to incorrectly ideniify the equipment and hence delivcr the wrong grade into aircraft.
Aviation fuel dispensing vehicles
The identifying product grade labels (see El 1542) shall be applied to the front, back, sides, and prominently displayed inside the driving compartment. In addition the grade decals should be visible from each fuelling hose reel and fueller bottom load adapter.
Stationary/curbside fuelling cabinets
Fuelling cabinets, which cover piping. filters. pumps. valves and hose reels, should bear grade identification labels (see El 1542). Labels for the specific giade should be installed on all sides, lops. atid inside main access doors to stationary fuelling equipment.
Dispensing nozzles
Overwing nozzles shall he colour-coded or use colour-coded handles in the product grade colour (i.e. jet fuel — black; avgas – redj which will assist in identification of the correct grade when fuelling aircraft. The use of small grade decals in addition to painting the nozzle or using colour-coded handles can be an additional safeguard. It is also recommended components of the nozzle, such as the spout. which come in contact with fuel or aircraft connectors, should not he painted.
2.9 QUALITY CONTROl. OF SITE FUEl.
SUPPI.Y AND SF.I.ECTIVITY
Adherence to the quality control procedures required at each sitc will assist in identifying thai the correct grade of fuel has been received and that fuel remains uncontaminated at the airport prior to delivery to the customer. Such quality control checks shall includc:
Ensuring the API gravity or density measurement falls in the appropriate range for the grade of fuel being delivered.
