Overfill Prevention, Bonding & Deadman Control
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) updated regulatory requirements for aviation fill stands (fuel racks) and refuelers (tank trucks) to improve safety for operators, reduce risks of environmental release (fuel spills), and eliminate liability incidents such as fires or human injury. The new requirements include:
- Two-level overfill protection on refuelers and fill stands
- Bonding (preventing sparks or arcs in a combustible atmosphere)
- An operational deadman switch to ensure constant human monitoring of the vehicle during the filling process
These facility upgrades, which must be completed by June 2021, will be enforced by the Federal Aviation Administration, fire marshals, local airport authorities, and/or insurance companies. Although several systems meet NFPA 407 standards, the Scully Intellitrol®2 and associated refueler equipment is the optimum upgrade solution.
