Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Pumps. The flammable liquid cargo shall
					 be discharged only by operation of hazardous liquid discharge pumps, driven by
					 a power take-off device from the truck engine. Evidence of approval of such
					 discharge pumps by a laboratory or testing establishment designated by the
					 airport operator shall be submitted. Pumping compartments, if any, shall be
					 ventilated to avoid accumulation of fumes. Power take-off devices shall include
					 mechanical, hydraulic, or electric units.
(b) Piping, hose and nozzle. The cargo shall
					 be discharged through a system of rigid piping joined together by welding,
					 screwed fittings, of vitaulic gruv-a-grip flanged connections with O-ring or
					 equal gaskets or equal couplings, and if necessary or desirable flexible hose
					 connections. Flexible hose connections, if used, shall be of armored or
					 protected type gasoline hose fitted with standard screwed or flanged pattern
					 fittings affixed to the hose by standard internal expanding rings or machine
					 pressed collars. Cargo lines between the tank and the pump section shall be
					 tested with the cargo tank as indicated in section
					 1276.6. Cargo lines from the pump
					 through the discharge hose shall be hydrostatically tested when so required by
					 the airport operator to a pressure 50 pounds above the normal working pressure
					 and so certified to the airport operator in writing. The delivery of product
					 shall at all times be under the control of the vehicle attendant through the
					 use of approved self-closing nozzles or approved underwing fueling control
					 devices operated by the attendant designed to shut off automatically upon
					 release of hand or foot pressure-- latching or fastening devices on control
					 units are not permitted. No delivery hose or hoses shall be used except:
(1) Standard hose designed to handle gasoline
					 or similar aircraft fuel at the highest pump operating pressures with
					 allowances for surge conditions.
(2) Standard make hose and fittings used in
					 connection with overwing or underwing fueling; provided that such hose shall be
					 fitted with bronze hose fittings affixed by standard internal expanded rings or
					 machine pressed collars, and self-closing nozzles with a static bonding wire
					 and clip or jack securely fastened to insure a good bond. Evidence of approval
					 of such hose, fittings and nozzle by a laboratory or testing establishment
					 designated by the airport operator shall be submitted when required.
(3) Hose used for product transfer shall be
					 inspected daily and checked for leaks, worn spots, worn gaskets, and fittings.
					 Hose having cuts, nicks, worn or weak spots should be replaced or removed for
					 standard hydrostatic pressure testing. The test pressure should be 150 psig for
					 average usage applied by hand pump on a fully charged, air free hose and
					 maintained for at least five minutes.
