This publication is intended to provide a system for
marking aviation fuel types and grades on fuel-handling
installations and equipment.
In addition to the requirements for proper marking
and colour-coding, there is a need throughout the
aviation industry, in general, for uniformity in product
labels. The aviation gasoline (Avgas) and turbine fuel
(Jet Fuel) labelling system included herein for aviation
use is recommended for worldwide use, not only for
aviation fuel handling equipment at airport fuel storage
facilities, but for all situations where it is desirable to
identify Avgas and Jet Fuel by type and grade. It is
intended to apply to equipment that is in continuous use
for a single grade of aviation fuel, e.g.:
- Airport depots.
- Airport fuel hydrant systems.
- Airport fuelling vehicles.
- Dedicated grade aviation fuel storage tanks and
piping within terminals.
- Dedicated grade aviation fuel loading facilities at
refineries, terminals or airports, etc.
It is not intended to apply to equipment that is not in
continuous aviation fuel use, e.g.:
- Refinery storage tanks and associated piping.
- Multi-product pipelines.
- Non-dedicated loading facilities, etc.
For further information on labelling systems for
equipment not in aviation use see the latest edition of
either API RP 1637 Using the API color-symbol system
to mark equipment and vehicles for product
identification at service stations and distribution
terminals, or IP Code of practice for a product
identification system for petroleum products.
