This recommended practice has been prepared by the API Aviation Technical Services Subcommittee with technical participation and feedback from other industry stakeholders, and is intended to provide guidance on the minimum equipment standards and operating procedures for the receipt, storage of aviation fuels at pre-airfield distribution terminals, located directly upstream of an airport, and its shipment directly via a grade dedicated pipeline, marine vessel (barge or ship) or road/rail transport to an airport.
This publication is intended to provide recommendations for safe practice, rather than set rigid guidelines. Users of this publication shall be aware that due consideration shall be given to the effect of any unusual or abnormal circumstance, on which it is not possible to generalize within the scope of this publication. Specialist advice shall be sought in these cases.
The guidance contained in this publication is primarily intended for civil aviation fuel handling operations. However, many of the practices and procedures are suitable for military pre-airfield storage terminals.
In addition, in some areas local or national statutory regulations also apply. This publication is intended to be complementary to these established controls and practices.
The API is not undertaking to meet the duties of employers to warn and equip their employees, and others exposed, concerning health and safety risks and precautions, nor undertaking their obligations under local and regional laws and regulations.
Nothing contained in any API publication is to be construed as granting any right, by implication or otherwise, for the manufacture, sale, or use of any method, apparatus, or product covered by letters patent. Neither should anything contained in the publication be construed as insuring anyone against liability for infringement of letters patent.
It is hoped and anticipated that this publication will assist those involved in aviation fuel handling at a pre-airfield storage facility. Every effort has been made by API to assure the accuracy and reliability of the data contained in this publication; however, API makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee in connection with this publication and hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss or damage resulting from its use or for the violation of any local or regional laws or regulations with which this publication may conflict.
This document was produced under API standardization procedures that ensure appropriate notification and participation in the developmental process and is designated as an API standard. Questions concerning the interpretation of the content of this publication or comments and questions concerning the procedures under which this publication was developed should be directed in writing to the Director of Standards, American Petroleum Institute, 1220 L Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005. Requests for permission to reproduce or translate all or any part of the material published herein should also be addressed to the director.
Generally, API standards are reviewed and revised, reaffirmed, or withdrawn at least every five years. A one-time extension of up to two years may be added to this review cycle. Status of the publication can be ascertained from the API Standards Department, telephone (202) 682-8000. A catalog of API publications and materials is published annually and updated quarterly by API, 1220 L Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005.
Suggested revisions are invited and should be submitted to the Standards and Publications Department, API, 1220 L Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005, standards@api.org.
