For example, certain materials that are fine for diesel, can not be used in aviation fueling systems: cast iron, copper & galvanized steel. Plumbing should be stainless steel, although brass, bronze or ductile steel may be used with minimal exposure to fuel. Stainless steel is preferred, and all plumbing on our TransFueler Aviation refuelers is stainless steel.
Aviation grade pumps, nozzles, etc., all have higher grade seals than used with automotive fuels. Fuel hose for aviation use is also specific, designed not to degrade and shed rubber particles into the fuel.
We use Velcon & Facet aviation filtration systems, the standards of the industry. We also primarily use GPI aviation approved pumps, though a few other approved pumps are also available.
