Officer (FMO). The inspection program includes the following: Inspections of equipment and facilities before use Inspections before major operations Seasonal or special inspections Routine inspections and checklists Inspections Before Use New construction, out-of-service facilities, broken equipment, and facilities or equipment undergoing cor- rective or programmed maintenance must be inspected before acceptance or reactivation. Special attention should be given to rated capacities of hardware, pipeline sizing, drainage, accessibility, emergency controls, safety, and fire prevention features. Inspections must be conducted before starting major operations, such as receipt of products from a ship or barge, transfers between large storage tanks, or high-tempo training exercises. Inspections should cover equipment performance, pipeline integrity, valve positioning, tank arrangement. and personnel manning. Seasonal or Special Inspections In climates where freezing weather is encoun- tered, winterization inspections should be made in early autumn. Extensive inspections for damage or malfunctioning should be conducted following any storm, flood, fire, earthquake, lightning strike, sus- pected act of sabotage, or vandalism. Special inspec- tions are called for when abnormal variations in performance, flow rates, pressures, or capacities are experienced by operators. Daily Checks A daily check (once in every 24-hour period) must be conducted on all aircraft fuel delivery equipment that is in continuous use. Equipment that fails to meet estab- lished requirements must be removed from service until corrective action is completed. The inspection varies on different equipment, and locally developed checklists that are specific to indi- vidual installations or systems may be developed. A typical daily checklist includes the following: 1. Check that fire extinguishers are in place, filled, operable, and have a current inspection tag. 2. Inspect the nozzle for damage. 3. Hook up the nozzle to the bottom-loading adapter or recirculation fitting and again inspect the nozzle for damage or evidence of leaks. 4. Check the entire length of the hose for cuts, cracks, abrasions, and fuel saturation. 5. Check that bonding cables are in place and in good condition, clean, and have serviceable plugs and clips securely attached. 6. Carefully inspect tanks, piping, valves, pumps, meters, and couplings for leaks. 7. Check the emergency valve controls for condi- tion and ease of operation. 8. Make sure exterior surfaces are wiped clean of oil, grease, and fuel. Make sure the cabinets, troughs, cab, and any enclosures are free of an accumulation of fuel, dirt, cleaning material, and unnecessary items. Check fenders and mudguards to ensure adequate pro- tection against the throwing of mud and dirt on fueling equipment and the rear of the unit. 9. Check the fluid levels of the battery, radiator, gas, and engine oil. 10. Make sure all lights are operable, all electrical wiring outside the cab is enclosed in tubing, and the rear view mirrors are serviceable. 11. Drain all low-point drains (tank, filter/separa- tor, monitor, relaxation chamber). If water is found, empty the sample into a safety can and repeat the process until a clean, water-free sample is obtained. 12. Carefully inspect the exhaust pipe and muffler system, including any auxiliary engine system, for leaks, cracks, noise, and proper placement. 13. Check the emergency brake to make sure it holds. 14. Drain air tanks of moisture and check for fuel contamination. 15. Engage the pump and pressurize the system. Check the entire system for leaks. 16. Place the nozzle’s flow-control handle in the fully opened and locked position and recirculate. On refueling trucks. recirculation is to be performed at standard RPM settings, where flow rates and differen- tial pressures can be accurately measured. The recircu- lation of trucks more than one-half full is limited to 10 minutes, each 10-minute period followed by a 1-minute rest to allow electrostatic charges to dissipate. For trucks less than one-half fill, the recirculation time is limited to 3 minutes. All equipment must be 7-11
