AMC 25.979(d) Pressure fuelling systems

ED Decision 2003/2/RM

1       Pressure fuelling systems, fuel tanks and the means preventing excessive fuel pressures, should be designed to withstand normal maximum fuelling pressure of not less than 345 kN/m2 (50 psi) at the coupling to the aeroplane.

2       Pressure fuelling systems should be so arranged that the fuel entry point is at or near the bottom of the tank so as to reduce the level of electrostatic charge in the tank during fuelling.
