MODERN AIRCRAFT PUMP
REFUELING PUMP
 Aircraft Refuelling Pump is designed to supply ATF, without anti-
icing additives, to aircrafts from ground tanks /containers.

 Provide fuel pumping and distribution, regulation of the

maximum content of water, prevention of excessive outlet
pressure, metering of the volume distributed, quick shut down
of fuel transfer, etc.

 The pumpset is designed to be compact and portable by two

men. The unit is engine driven and
incorporates a self- priming pump;
water separator, bulkmeter and quick
couplings for the attachment of suction
and delivery hoses.
 OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

 Dispensing all standard grades of aviation fuel for filling aircraft fuel
tanks.

 To be used at places located far away from the aviation bases where
conventional aircraft refuelling arrangements such as ATF bowsers
and TOK pumps NA.

 Required at forward aviation bases where refuelling AC from fuel

stored in barrels/containers.

 Operating Temp Range -100 TO 430C.

 Operating altitude – Upto 4000 Mtrs
