1.1 STATUS
1.1 STATUS
1.1.1 This document describes the basic requirements to be taken into account while planning
procurement of chassis and fabrication of a Refueller. The specific requirements, if any,
based on user’s experience need to be considered & incorporated in the tender.
1.1.2 The specifications meet the requirement of design, construction and testing of the refueller.
It may be modified by raising amendments to fabricate refuellers at par with the
international norms, local statutory norms and business specific requirements. Any changes
or amendments in this manual shall be brought with full justification and need of change in
the notice of Aviation Technical Department thru Line Managers for evaluation and
approval by Technical Services department.
1.1.3 The vehicle is to be normally used in and around airports at limited speed except while on
transfer to another location. However the vehicle design must meet all the regulatory
requirements of MVA, RTA, MOST, PESO, DGCA, Petroleum Rules, AAI guideline etc.
like permitted axle load, length, width, height, permitted safety fittings etc.
1.2.1 When submitting a quotation to BPCL, the fabricator should provide sufficient technical &
descriptive details to demonstrate that all aspects of the specification as well as the
applicable regulatory requirements, have been complied with in the proposed design offer.
1.2.2 General arrangement drawing shall be submitted to BPCL within 30 days from the date of
LOI & should include the following details as a minimum.
Minimum clearances, maximum overall dimension, dimension of tank cross section incl.
radii of top, sides and corners, net weight & axle weight of the complete unit incl. tank &
chassis plus the other data deemed to be relevant. One copy of the drawing, duly approved
by Aviation Technical Dept. and Engineering & Projects Dept. would be returned to the
fabricator.
Drawing approval by BPCL would mean General Agreement and flow circuit diagram with
the layout, dimensions and the weight of the unit, but will not necessarily imply that BPCL
has verified the design parameters like stress calculations, construction details, compliance
with all / any of the applicable rules and regulations etc. All these would still remain as the
responsibility of the fabricator.
The chassis is normally purchased by BPCL and issued to the successful fabricator as a
free issue item. In case, BPCL wants the fabricator to procure the chassis, the fabricator
would check the suitability of the chassis for the capacity of the refueller under fabrication
and present all the technical data in support of procurement of the suggested chassis and
would seek BPCL’s approval prior to the procurement.
Where this specification omits specific details of equipment or design, the manufacturer
would be required to use his experience, skill & knowledge of industry norms & the best
practices in respect of the vehicles being fabricated.
Some of the standards are to be followed during fabrication are provided in the later part of
this section. However there are other recognized International or equivalent national
standards which may be applied in whole or part of it to meet the regulatory requirement &
also to get the best possible product.
The fabricator would arrange to carry out full fledged testing of the vehicle with the
product as per terms and conditions mentioned in the tender and the same would be
witnessed by BPCL representative (Aviation / Engineering & Projects). A joint test report
as per Section 8, Sr. No. 8.2 & 8.4 would be prepared & signed by BPCL (Aviation /
Engineering & Projects) & the fabricator’s representatives.
Final acceptance of the vehicle by BPCL would not relieve the supplier of his obligation to
comply with the specifications and any amendment or modification which may be required
to be carried out by the fabricator to ensure that the vehicle meets all the applicable
regulations as well as fit for use / purpose.

breakers can be safely designed to carry 100% of their rating continuously but
this rating should be limited to a level which gives a temperature rise within the
performance specification of the cable insulation.
2.8.5 Any fuse type circuit protection device should be so arranged that the failure of
a minor circuit should not render a major or obligatory circuit inoperative.
2.9.1 The pneumatic system, is to be fitted with Auxiliary Air tank of 30 litres capacity

hose is connected to the loading adaptor or the pump is engaged or a power
take off is engaged, then the refueller brake is applied on parking brake system.
2.9.3 With the split shaft pump specified in this document, selection of ‘pump drive’
means that ‘road drive’ is engaged, and a warning light and written message
should be displayed. It should not be possible to drive the refueller with the
PTO engage.
2.9.4 In the event that an interlock is inadvertently activated and the brakes applied
while the vehicle is moving, the application should be slow enough to bring the
vehicle to a controlled halt without endangering the driver or co-driver.
2.9.5 This specification does not require that the chassis rear brake warning lights be
illuminated when the interlock system is activated. These lights may be
activated:-
or
j) When the vehicle is moving e.g. mid ship type of transmission for the ATF
pump.
2.9.6 Whether the interlock switches are pneumatic or of electrical; reed switch /

c) One flashing blue, to indicate PTO is engaged.
d) One flashing green, to indicate DMC is “ON”.
2.9.13 Signals for indicating the pump gearbox engagement position can be taken
from switches or sensors actuated by a device attached to the exposed selector
shaft – monitoring selection by the presence or absence of air pressure to the
gearbox is not sufficient to give clear indication of engagement / dis-
engagement.
2.9.13.1 Provision should be made for automatically operating both the chassis
and refueller braking system if an interlock on the trailer has been
actuated (e.g.: bottom loading coupling still connected).
2.9.13.2 Trailer brakes must not be able to act independently of the refueller
brakes except when the units are separated and air is exhausted for
parking purposes.

5.11 DOCUMENTATION
On receipt of order, successful bidder will have to submit the followings for
BPCL approval (in duplicate):
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
SECTION – 6 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
6.1 QUALITY
6.2 APPROVAL
6.1 QUANTITY
6.1.1 Each chassis must be supplied with the operating and routine maintenance
manuals provided by the chassis manufacturer in English language.
It must also be ensured that the chassis spare catalogue manual is supplied to
obtain spare parts from the local dealer / elsewhere in future.
6.1.2 The refueller fabricator must compile a manual covering the remainder of the
vehicle and added interface equipment. One copy is to be supplied with the
vehicle and in addition, one copy is to be supplied to Aviation Technical Service
Dept., Noida.
6.1.3 The cost of these will be deemed to be included in the price quoted for the vehicle.
6.2 APPROVAL
This does not apply where refuellers are repeat orders or are very similar to
previous units and incorporate only minor amendments.
The purpose of the manual is not to train people to become aircraft fuelling
operatives or maintenance technicians, nor to give guidance on routine checks and
tests required by the BPCL Aviation Quality Control and Aviation Operations
manuals.
6.4.2 An index / contents list showing the various sections and list of illustrations.
6.4.3 A list of applicable specifications and standards – e.g. BS, ISO, EN etc.
6.4.5 A list of threaded fastener sizes used – metric / UNC / UNF / BSW / BSF etc. with
spanner / hexagon sizes and recommended torque values.
6.4.6 Basic vehicle data – chassis details (make / model / engine model / power output /
serial no. / wheel base etc.) actual measured weights per axle when loaded – tyres
size / pressures – actual dimensions ( heights of cab, tank, platform, overall length,
width ) – tank fabrication number – scissor lift fabrication number etc.
This should be written to aid understanding of the more complex details later in the
manual. Content can be sort or long according to the other information provided. A
simple diagram should be included.
To cover such topics as – loading from the depot – self loading – engaging /
disengaging the pump – reeling out and rewind the hose reels – starting flow ( to
recirculate or fuel aircraft ) fuelling operations – stopping flow – depressurizing the
hoses – defuelling aircraft – use of emergency engine stops – use of the sampling
cabinet and dump / recovery tank – use of the interlock override – etc.
It is essential that the operator has a full understanding of the system before
undertaking this procedure.
These sections are needed to describe very clearly, details of the various systems
as follows. For clarity, it is suggested that numbered items on circuit drawings also
be given a letter prefix. Where the systems interface, the diagrams should so
indicate and thus, the related or linked item will be easier to identify.
For example, the electrical circuit diagram will have most items marked with the
prefix D but when electric interlock switches are used, there will also be a B item
shown representing the solenoid actuated pilot valve for the brake system.
Where components can fall into two categories, it is suggested that the code letter
to apply is that for the first diagram in which it appears.
For example, the pneumatic operator of a foot valve, code A, would also have a
Code A. When the same pneumatic operator was illustrated with other pneumatic
B components, it would still be code A.
Each section should also include a table showing, for example, the following
information:-
Where it is not feasible to describe the item location such that it could be easily
found, then simple sketches or photographs should be provided.
For wholly bought out / unmodified items, the original manufacturer’s part numbers
must be used. Where items have been purchased and modified or added to by the
refueller fabricator to form a distinguishable separate assembly, then preferably
the separate part numbers should be given. Where this is really not feasible, a
new unique part number may be given and the refueller fabricator may be
mentioned as the supplier.
Comprising – Diagrams of the fuelling circuit and operating panel, parts list,
operating / functional descriptions of fuelling / defuelling, secondary pressure
control system, depressurizing etc.
Reference should be made to the item numbers on the circuit and what occurs
when each control is selected.
Reference should be made to the item numbers on the circuit and what occurs in
what sequence to what component, where air can go and does go under various
circumstances.
Reference should be made to item numbers on the circuit and where the oil travels
in each situation.
There should also be a section here, or under “Trouble Shootting” per item
describing how to remedy a “stuck up” platform and reset the various flow controls.
Comprising – A diagram of the electrical circuit including wire colours and inter
connections with other systems, parts lists, operating / functional descriptions of
operations lights, obstruction lamps, deadman system (if electrical), pump speed
tachometer, pump / road drive warning lights, platform alarm, brake interlocks if
electrical switches), brake override warning light, battery isolator, alternator
protection circuit etc.
This part of the manual applies to the items and equipment installed by the
refueller fabricator as opposed to the chassis itself.
Typical details should include checks as per daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and
annual check list formats supplied by BPCL.
Clearly it is not possible to cover every eventuality and difficulty which might be
encountered in a complex system. Sections covering the automobile, fuelling,
pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical systems should be good enough for users to
educate themselves and decide what may be causing trouble.
Nevertheless, the following major difficulties should be addressed and suggestions
made to investigate and remedy the situation.
In other cases, complete and current information will be required for such items
as:-
Tank foot valve – Bottom loading valve and high level sensor – Filter monitor
element changing – Fuel / defuel valve – Differential pressure gauge – Hydraulic
pump and motors ( if fitted).
QA / Test Certificates should be provided for hoses, filters & filter housing, delivery
couplings, pressure gauge, DP gauge, the tank pressure test, bulk meter
calibration, hydrotest certificate of Fire Extinguishers, the 15 bar general circuit
pressure test, the 20 bar system test downstream of the closed line isolating
valves.
In addition, the manufacturer should enclose a copy of his own test schedule /
results. This may be similar to or the same as that shown in section 9 of this
specification.
Another useful, but not essential document could be a copy of a check list used to
verify that all the chassis options and type variants specified on the purchase order
have indeed been fitted. This might be requested if the customer’s appointed
inspector is not wholly familiar with the equipment or able to distinguish, for
example, road springs of different strengths.
General arrangement, sub assembly and any useful details drawings or descriptive
sketches which are not included elsewhere should be placed here, together with
an index.
