1. Control of Water in the Aircraft Fuel Tanks

A. Reason for the Job

- To examine for water in the aircraft fuel tanks.

- To drain water from the aircraft fuel tanks.

- To sample the fuel for microbiological contamination.

NOTE : These procedures are applicable if the outside airtemperature is more than 0 deg C. If the outside airtemperature is less than 0 deg C. and you cannotdrain the fuel/water because of ice in the tanks,then do the cold weather maintenance procedures(Ref. 12-31-28, P. Block 201 ) .

NOTE : If possible, do the examination for water in theaircraft fuel tanks before you refuel the aircraft.As an alternative, you must wait for a minimum of 30minutes after a refuel has been completed before youdo the examination for water or drain water from theaircraft fuel tanks.

FED 650-665,667-699,721-746,748-799

NOTE : As an alternative, it is permitted to use the suctionprocedure Drainage of Residual Fuel (Ref.28-25-00, P. Block 301 ) to fully drain the trimtank.

(1) Job Set-Up

WARNING : OBEY THE FUEL SAFETY PROCEDURES. THIS CANPREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE.

(a) Obey the fuel safety procedures (Ref. 28-00-00,P. Block 301 ) .

(b) Drain a fuel and water sample from each fuel tankRef. Para. 1.C.(a). You must use a differentsample container for each fuel tank.

NOTE : Do not put additives in the samples toshow the water contents.

NOTE : Before you collect the samples, read themanafacturers instructions in the testkit. Make sure you use a samplecontainer that is specified and that isclean and dry before use. An incorrect,dirty sample container can give anunwanted effect to the results.

(c) Put the sample(s) into a transparent fuelresistant plastic container(s) with a minimumcapacity of 0.2641 USgal (1.0 Liter) and:

- seal the container(s)

- make sure you can see the free water and fuel inthe sample(s) (for the MICROBMONITOR 2 kit orthe FUELSTAT RESINAE kit).

(d) Identify each sample with a label that shows:

- the aircraft number

- the time and date of the sample

- the fuel tank the sample came from

- all additives you know about.

(e) Keep the sealed sample containers in a coolprotected area.

NOTE : After the test samples are collected,microbiological contamination in thesample could multiply or die. It is



of 31DEC 01/2010

recommended that samples are testedbefore 6 hours, but no later than 24hours.AIRBUS recommends that the samples aretested in no more than 6 hours.

NOTE : Choose one microbial test kit for thecomplete procedure.Do not compare results between themicrobial detection kits.They use different methods to giveresults. If you need help, ask themanufacturer of the detection kit.

(2) Sample Test - MICROBMONITOR2 Test Kit Procedure.


- Use the MICROBMONITOR 2 TEST KIT ECHAMICROBIOLOGY UK (CAGE code OHZY6) and themanufacturers instructions to do a test on theWATER and FUEL samples,

OR

- Send the WATER and FUEL samples to an approvedlaboratory.

- They will use the Institute of PetroleumProcedure IP 385 to provide the levels of fuelcontamination.


NOTE : If you only do one test, it can give youan incorrect indication of the fueltanks. If a test shows contamination,(moderate or heavy) do the test again(in not more than 10 days), before youremove the aircraft from service.Use the same test kit for the secondtest.



- the WATER sample contents has 1000 CFU/milli liter (Colony forming Units) orless.

- the FUEL sample contents has 4000 CFU/Liter or less.



of 31DEC 01/2010

b) Continue to monitor the fuel tanks atscheduled the inspection interval.



a) The contamination is moderate if the:

- WATER sample contents has between 1000and 10000 CFU/milli liter

- FUEL sample contents has between 4000and 20000 CFU/Liter.



- do the BIOBOR or KATHON biocidol shocktreatment (moderate contaminationprocedure) to all of the fuel tanks(Ref. 28-11-00, P. Block 301 ) .



- WATER sample contents has more than10000 CFU/milli liter

- FUEL sample contents has more than20000 CFU/Liter.

(c) The MICROBMONITOR 2 Test kit procedure is nowcomplete, continue with the close-up.

(3) Sample Test - FUELSTAT RESINAE Test-Kit Procedure.

NOTE : The FUELSTAT RESINAE test-kit shows the mostfrequent type of contamination you can find infuel tanks (Hormoniconis Resinae).Other types of contamination will not beshown.


- Use the FUELSTAT RESINAE TEST-KIT CONDIABIOSCIENCE UK (CAGE code KE385) and themanafacturers instructions to do a test on theWATER and FUEL samples,

OR

- send the WATER and FUEL samples to an approvedlaboratory. Where they will use the Institute ofPetroleum Procedure IP 385 to provide the levelsof fuel contamination.


NOTE : If you only do one test, it can give youan incorrect indication of the fueltanks. If a test shows contamination,(moderate or heavy) do the test again,(in not more than 10 days) before youremove the aircraft from service.Use the same test kit for the secondtest.



of 31DEC 01/2010


a) The contamination is negligible if theindication lines (on the test kit)show a low positive result.




a) The contamination is moderate if theindication lines (on the test kit)show a low positive result.





a) The contamination is heavy if theindication lines (on the test kit)show a high positive result.







of 31DEC 01/2010

(c) The FUELSTAT RESINAE Test-kit procedure is nowcomplete, continue with the Close-up.

(4) Sample Test - HY-LITE Jet A1 FUEL Test-Kit Procedure.

NOTE : The manufacturers recommend that you only usea fuel resistant transparent plastic samplecontainer. Glass containers will give anunwanted effect to the operation of the testkit. If possible, do the test in a clean area.


- Use the HY-LITE JET A1 Fuel Test-Kit MERCK KGAA,GERMANY (CAGE code D2186) and the manafacturersinstructions to do a test on the WATER and FUELsamples,

OR

- send the WATER and FUEL samples to an approvedlaboratory. Where they will use the Institute ofPetroleum procedure IP 385 to provide the levelsof fuel contamination.


NOTE : If you only do one test, it can give youan incorrect indication of the fueltanks. If a test shows contamination(moderate or heavy), do the test again(in not more than 10 days), before youremove the aircraft from service.Use the same test kit for the secondtest.



- the WATER/FUEL sample contents has1000 RLU/Liter (Relative Light Units)or less.




a) The contamination is moderate if:

- the WATER/FUEL sample contents hasbetween 1000 and 5000 RLU/Liter.



of 31DEC 01/2010






- WATER/FUEL sample contents is morethan 5000 RLU/liter.



- do the BIOBOR or KATHON biocidol shocktreatment (heavy contaminationprocedure) to all of the fuel tanks.
