Aviation fueling systems:
Complete, functional and safe
Alturas (CA) Municipal Airport
While we supply burial tanks and accessories for aviation applications, Ace also can supply virtual 'turnkey' aboveground tank FuelSAFE assemblies that give you a complete and ready-to-function system.
We've supplied municipalities, airports, fuel suppliers and small groups and/or individuals with cost-efficient refueling packages. In addition to standard-style tanks and pricing, we've addressed the specialized callout for storage and dispensing of Jet-A fuel.
The 'Touch and Go' card-activated fuel management system by Applied Technologies provides complete on-site access and ease of customer use accepting Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover most oil company and private credit cards. It allows the ability of 24-hour operation, and the system's SiteMinder reporting management software provides detailed useage reports.

Terminology
AvGas: Gasoline used in reciprocating engine aircraft. Currently available in one grade: 100 low lead (100LL). This fuel is dyed a blue color to air in recognition. Off-colored fuel may not meet specifications and should not be used for aviation purposes.
Bonding: Equalizing of electrical charges before they build up to a high enough potential to create a static spark. Fueling equipment is 'bonded' to an aircraft by means of a cable providing a conductive path to equalize potential between the fueling equipment and aircraft.
Combustible: Generally (as defined by NFPA and DOT) a liquid having a flash point of 100° F or higher but below 200° F. Examples: Diesel, JP-5, kerosene.
Differential Pressure: Inlet pressure (IP) minus outlet pressure (OP), measured in pounds per square inch (psi, known as psiD). Aviation absorbent monitor filters downstream of pumps capable of discharge pressures in excess of 25psi are, by manufacturer recommendation, to have a gauge (or gauges) to monitor differential pressure. Manufacturers typically recommend filter changeout when specific levels of psiD are reached.
Flammable: Generally (as defined by NFPA and DOT) a liquid with a flash point under 100° F. Examples: Gasoline (56 to 100 octane), acetone, JP-4, turpentine.
Floating suction: A system designed to draw clean fuel inside a tank, normally attached to the bottom of a turbine pump and utilizing an unsinkable float to keep the suction unit near the top of the product and away from water and/or contamination typically gathered at the bottom of the tank.
Jet Fuel: Used for poweing turbo-fan, turbojet and turboprop engines. Available as Jet A (a kerosene base) and Jet B (a blend of gasoline and kerosene). Most commercial operators use Jet A. All grades of Jet (turbine) fuels are either straw colored or colorless.
