MIL-STD-1548G

Abstract

This standard establishes two types of standard practices for into-plane servicing of fuels at commercial airports.<b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> The purpose of this standard is to ensure government aircraft are provided specification fuel at commercial facilities where a US Government Into-Plane Servicing Contract is in force. The JP-8+100 defueling procedures covered by this standard are unique as only DoD aircraft use JP-8+100. Defueling of JP-8+100 at commercial airports must only be accomplished under emergency situations after coordination with the aircraft's home station, military Service Control Point, of Major Air Command and must be handled appropriately to avoid contaminating systems not capable of handling the JP-8+100. Additive injection procedures mentioned in this standard are also military unique as the additive package required in fuel used by DoD aircraft is not used in commercial fuels The additive package required in fuel destined for DoD aircraft is required as it provides additional safeguards against fuel system icing and fuel system static charges.<br>
