To assist with locating the transportable tanks during loading or back loading, the bunded area should have a substantial purpose made steel frame around its perimeter to act as a guide and buffer system. This is particularly important on floating structures and vessels where restraining the tanks from movement due to vessel motions should be fully taken into account.
A suitably specified, rigid pipe system will normally be installed for interconnecting fixed aviation fuel storage tanks to the pumping system (skid mounted).
The supply to fixed aviation fuel storage from transportable tanks, or where no fixed tanks are used, will normally be achieved by using flexible hoses from each transportable tank coupled to a rigid piped gallery. It is imperative that the flexible hose, coupling and tank are all properly bonded.
11.7.4.3 Aviation Fuel Pumping System
The aviation fuel pumping system and ancillary equipment (normally skid mounted) should be designed and located to achieve good operating efficiency with easy access for routine maintenance.

11.7.4.4 Aviation Fuel Dispenser
The aviation fuel dispenser, ancillary equipment, supply system, stand-by and manual systems should be designed and located to achieve good operating efficiency.

Locating the fuel dispenser skid on the helideck, adjacent to the safe landing area needs to be well thought out to ensure safe and easy access for refuelling operations, routine maintenance and annual strip down, inspection and re-certification.
The skid should have a ‘steady red’ light mounted on the top and connected to the system to indicate when the system is in operation. The light should be visible from all areas of the helideck.
Skid positioning on the helideck along with layout of the skid system components and any access panels should fully take into account routine and annual maintenance programmes (e.g. filter pack removal).
Routine fuel system and fuel quality checks should be capable of being carried out simply and easily without risk of contamination (e.g. water / rain ingress).
