Dongfeng 30000L Aircraft Refueler Truck Jet A1 Aviation Fuel Tanker

Dongfeng 30000L Aircraft Refueler Truck Jet A1 Aviation Fuel Tanker

The Dongfeng 30,000L Aircraft Refueller is a high-performance ground support vehicle specifically engineered for the safe and efficient refueling of modern aircraft. Designed to handle Jet A-1 aviation kerosene, this truck combines Dongfeng's heavy-duty chassis reliability with CLW Group's precision tank engineering. It fully complies with international aviation safety standards, ensuring zero contamination and high-speed refueling operations.

Key Technical Features

1. Specialized Aviation Tank

   • Capacity: 30,000 Liters / 30m³.
   • Material: High-grade Aluminum Alloy 5083 (to prevent rust and ensure fuel purity) or Stainless Steel with internal epoxy coating.
   • Design: Equipped with internal baffles to prevent fuel surging during transport and a sloped bottom for complete drainage.

2. Advanced Refuelling System

   • Filter Separator: Compliant with API 1581 standards, featuring a water sensor and automatic drain valve.
   • Flow Meter: High-precision flow meter (error <0.2%) with a large digital/mechanical display and ticket printer.
   • Dual Refuelling Modes:
     • Overwing: For smaller aircraft/helicopters.
     • Underwing (Pressure): High-speed refuelling for commercial jets.

3. Safety & Interlock System

   • Deadman Control: Ensures refueling only occurs when the operator is actively monitoring.
   • Interlock System: Prevents the truck from moving while the hose is connected or the platform is raised.
   • Static Protection: Heavy-duty static grounding reel (30m) and conductive tires.
   • Emergency Shut-off: Instant fuel flow cutoff switches located at the rear and side of the vehicle.

Dongfeng 30000L Aircraft Refueler Truck Jet A1 Aviation Fuel Tanker Application:

General Aviation (GA) and Smaller Airfields

This is the most common and appropriate application for an 8 CBM truck:

• Refueling of Light Aircraft: It is perfectly sized for servicing general aviation aircraft, such as piston-engine planes, small turboprops, and light business jets that require smaller volumes of fuel.
• Regional and Small Airports: At regional airports, Fixed-Base Operators (FBOs), or private airfields where the volume of wide-body commercial aircraft is low or non-existent, the 8 CBM truck provides sufficient capacity without the high operating cost of a larger vehicle.

2. Helicopter Refueling

Helipads and Remote Locations: The smaller, more agile chassis is highly suitable for refueling helicopters, both at main airport helipads and in more confined or remote locations, such as military bases or offshore support areas (if modified for rugged terrain).

3. Quick-Response and Specialty Fueling

Emergency or Spot Fueling: Its size allows it to be used as a quick-response unit to refuel aircraft in specialized areas or positions on the apron that are hard for larger refuelers to access.

Avgas (Aviation Gasoline) Transport: While typically used for Jet A-1 (aviation kerosene), an 8 CBM truck may be dedicated to transporting and dispensing Avgas (the fuel for piston-engine aircraft), which is required in much smaller volumes.

4. Military and Training Bases

Military Aircraft: The smaller capacity is useful for refueling light military transports, trainer aircraft, or fighter jets that require a lower volume per refueling cycle compared to heavy cargo planes.

Training Operations: It is often used at flight schools and air force training bases where the size of the aircraft fleet and daily fuel consumption are modest.
