PREFACE
The Technical Logistics College (TLC) Basic and Advanced Course
established a How-To-Handbook for Petroleum equipment and products.
The Handbook will act as a guide to increase key leader’s knowledge
on the proper implementation of daily operations and inspection of
liquid logistics. Leaders will have the capability to tailor to
their unit’s modification table of organization and equipment
(MTOE) to build a base of readiness and competency for supporting
Petroleum Teams, Groups, Companies, and Battalions.
The liquid logistics services are detailed and vital operations,
which require technical management and innovative leadership styles
to maintain operations for mission success. All leaders are
responsible for bridging operational gaps from the senior level
down to the junior level. This communication will allow for
comprehensive transitions of training to the Army’s focus on Large
Scale Combat Operations.
We encourage all leaders and subordinates who read this to
recommend changes to keep the information up-to-date and
relevant.

LIQUID LOGISTICS HOW-TO-HANDBOOK
3-1. QUALITY SURVEILLANCE
Quality Surveillance (QS) is defined as all measures taken to
ensure fuel is Suitable for Use (SFU) for its intended purposes.
Two Components of QS Program:
a. 92F MOS – Transport, Storage, and Handling. 1) Specially trained
technicians in fuel handling and transportation equipment and
sampling
protocols. 2) Implements procedures for safeguarding fuel from
comingling and water/sediment
contamination. b. 92L MOS – Fuel testing
1) Specially trained technicians that perform physical and chemical
analysis of fuel to confirm fuel is SFU.
3-2. SAMPLING OVERVIEW AND TYPES
a. Use of improper sampling devices and improper sampling
techniques can lead to incorrect sample test data. In many cases
this has led to sample failures that could have been avoided had
proper equipment been utilized and proper protocols been
followed.
b. Conveyance sampling for CONUS and OCONUS will be performed in
the frequencies as described in DA PAM 710-2-1, paragraph 11-28. If
the lab results from these samples indicate the product is not
meeting Specification Limits or Receipt Limits in MIL-STD-3004 D
w/change 1, applicable Table, USAPC will be immediately
notified.
c. Common Sampling Types: 1) All Level Sample: A sample taken by
submerging a stoppered beaker or bottle to a point
as near as possible to the draw-off level (outlet), but above the
free water level, then opening the sampler and raising it at a
uniform rate such that it is about 70-85 % full (in no case shall
it be completely full) as it emerges from the liquid.
2) All Level Composite: A sample prepared by combining a number of
samples and treated as a single sample.
3) Line Sample: Obtained from a designated location within the fuel
system while the fuel is flowing. Flush the sample line until at
least the volume of the line has been drawn into a separate
container before drawing the line sample
4) Nozzle Sample: A sample taken from a dispensing nozzle. 5) Top
Sample: A sample taken 6 inches below the surface of the product.
6) Upper Sample: A spot sample taken from the middle of the upper
one-third of the tank's
contents. 7) Middle Sample: A spot sample taken from the middle of
the tank's contents. 8) Bottom Sample: A spot sample collected from
the material at the bottom of the tank,
container, or line at its lowest point.
3-3. FILTER EFFECTIVENESS TESTING
a. Filter Effectiveness Testing (FET). The purpose of filter
effectiveness testing is to ensure that filter separators are
performing to standard. Filter effectiveness testing does not check
the quality of the fuel. The filter effectiveness test is a
snapshot in time that assesses filter separator performance on the
date the sample was taken.
LIQUID LOGISTICS HOW-TO-HANDBOOK
11
1) Initial fill of filter separators (filters just changed or new
equipment). Prior to issue of fuel, a filter effectiveness test
must be performed, and results must be received.
2) All filter separators in service are required to have a
completed filter effectiveness test a maximum of every 30 days.
This includes tank trucks and ground tactical systems. The 30-day
period is from the date the sample was taken, not from the date of
the reported results.
3) Equipment in a deadline status that prevents fuel system
operations or designated as administrative storage is exempt from
this requirement. However, prior to bringing the equipment back to
a fully mission capable status, a FET will be performed, and valid
test results received. Equipment designated as low usage are
considered in service, and still require filter effectiveness
testing.
4) If you have valid test results within the past 30 days, pulling
a filter effectiveness sample does not require you to stop
operations with the equipment you pulled the sample from provided
daily operational checks are performed ensuring the issuance of
quality fuel. Daily operational checks include visual, pressure
differentials, and aqua-glo. Stop issuing fuel anytime valid
results have exceeded the 30-day period. Do not resume issuance of
fuel until you have received valid test results.
5) Ensure all samples and results are annotated in the unit's
sample log, and sample tags are completed.
b. Millipore 1) The Millipore test checks the performance of the
filter separator. There are two types of
monitors used to conduct particulate contamination tests. The first
has a single membrane filter (identified by blue and red protective
plugs). Use this monitor for color comparison/particulate
assessment. The second type has a matched weight double membrane
filter (identified by yellow and red protective plugs) and is used
to submit the monthly filter effectiveness samples to the
laboratory. Note: One-gallon samples may be submitted as an
alternate means for filter effectiveness, but by exception
only.
c. Aqua-Glo 1) The aqua-glo water detection test checks to see that
the filter separator is working
properly. There is conflicting guidance from some source material
on the quantities of fuel to flush and test. The Army standard is
to flush a minimum of 1,000 milliliters (1Liter) and test a
quantity of 500 milliliters. All other procedures from applicable
technical manuals should be followed. A source of training
augmentation is available at
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfFqi6IYcOl7TUsK7jBIfUg
3-4. PETROLEUM QUALITY ANALYSIS SYSTEM – ENHANCED
a. The petroleum quality analysis system - enhanced (PQAS-E) is a
fully integrated fuel laboratory in a 20' ISO shelter mounted on a
XCK 2000E1 trailer. The laboratory contains fuel test equipment,
data acquisition equipment, automated instrumentation system,
support equipment, supplies, tent, environmental control unit, and
automated power unit.
b. The PQAS-E is a complete QS laboratory capable of conducting B-2
modified level testing (testing exceptions are existing gum and
copper corrosion) in accordance with MIL-STD-3004 on kerosene based
and diesel military mobility fuels.
c. This system takes two personnel (92L School Trained) to set up
and two personnel to operate. d. AR 710-2 states that Army Labs
must be certified by USAPC to test Army owned fuel and
provide disposition on fuel that fails testing. Per AR 710-2, a
decision to certify an Army laboratory is based on a review of four
areas: Facilities, Personnel, Procedures, and Equipment.
Laboratories will be certified for both aviation fuel and diesel
fuel.
12
e. Certified – PQAS-Es, lab fully meets the design testing
capability and the certification standards with all tests validated
by USAPC. Certification will expire after 12 months from the
certification date. Per FTL 16-02 Change 1 describes the
certification and re-certification process.
f. A list of tests that can be performed by the PQAS-E at full
capability is provided in enclosure 2. If the lab fails to achieve
full certification after 180 days, it will be de-certified.
g. The chart below lists the full design testing capability of the
PQAS-E for both aviation fuel and diesel fuel. Color coding shows
testing authorization levels for Authority to Operate (ATO) which
groups test methods IAW MIL-STD-3004 D w/change 1, modified for the
design capabilities of the PQAS-E. A description for each of these
tests can be found in section 5 of MIL-STD-3004 D w/change 1.
• X = Enhanced C Testing Authorization – Basic checks for fuel
identity, filter effectiveness,
additive concentrations, gross contamination and handling safety. •
X = B-1 Modified Testing Authorization – Enhanced C, plus those
characteristics needed to
check for product contamination. Allows units to put FSSP into
operation for aircraft refueling and ground fuel issue.
• X = Certified (B-2 Modified = Design Capability) – B-1 Modified,
plus those characteristics needed to check for product
deterioration. This is the highest testing capability for the
PQAS-E.

CHAPTER 5 AVIATION REFUELING
The following describes equipment and systems specifically in Army
aviation units. For more information related to aircraft refueling,
see ATP 3-04.94, Army Techniques Publication for Forward Arming and
Refueling Points.
5-1. ADVANCED AVIATION FORWARD AREA REFUELING SYSTEM (AAFARS)
a. System Description: 1) The AAFARS is a four-point refuel system
providing a minimum of 55 GPM at each refuel
point simultaneously. With the distance of 100 feet that separates
each refueling point. There is only a two to three GPM pressure
drop to the last point of the system. The primary fuel source is
the 500-gallon collapsible drum. The key AAFARS function is to
simultaneously refuel four helicopters in tactical locations using
center point refueling (D-1 nozzle), closed circuit refueling
(CCR), or open-port nozzles. The system interfaces with existing
Army, United States Air Force, Navy, and United States Marine Corps
aircraft and is interoperable with North Atlantic Treaty
Organization and other joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and
multinational refuel equipment.
2) The setup of the AAFARS system should take advantage of terrain
features, thus achieving maximum dispersion and obstacle avoidance.
When planning the layout of the AAFARS system, personnel must
consider the minimum spacing required between aircraft during
refueling. The spacing will depend on the type of aircraft and its
rotor size; double rotor blade length is the standard separation.
Proper spacing reduces the possibility of collision and prevents
damage caused by rotor wash. The rotor hub-to-rotor hub spacing is
dependent on the type of aircraft.
3) If the area has a prevailing wind pattern, the refueling system
should be placed at a right angle to the wind, thus allowing
helicopters to land, refuel, and take off into the prevailing wind
pattern. The refueling points should also be laid out on the higher
portion of a sloped site, not in a hollow or valley. Fuel vapors
are heavier than air, and they flow downhill. To reduce the
explosion hazard, the fuel source should be kept downwind of the
aircraft's exhaust. The same considerations apply to any forward
arming and refueling point (FARP) setup. Aircraft movement should
be limited in desert and snow environments where wind and rotor
wash may cause brownout or whiteout. Special considerations will be
necessary when aircrews are operating with night vision devices
(NVDs). In addition to being used to refuel aviation assets, it can
also be used to perform the refuel on the move (ROM) operation for
ground vehicles. A fuel source, pump and filter separator are
required for use.

grounding
rods.
8) Location Selection: i. Site selection criteria should include a
relatively flat area of at least two feet by
40 feet to accommodate the two spill containment kits. The site
should be accessible for a prime mover to transport the two tri-con
containers and drop them in the respective area, unless
sling-loading the 500-gallon drums and tri- cons to a remote area.
It also needs to be accessible to approaching aircraft and be large
enough to contain all system components. Surface contour must
provide good drainage away from operating equipment and aircraft
staging points.
ii. Like the heavy expanded mobility tactical truck-tanker aviation
refueling system (HTARS), AAFARS needs an open area approximately
500-feet by 300-feet to safely operate the system with aircraft
entry and exit.

5-5. AVIATION FUELING SAFETY AND QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
a. Safety Requirements: 1) Key Information
i PPE: Fueling requires specific PPE to include Gloves, Goggles,
Hearing Protection, Fire retardant/Fuel resistant Uniform, and
Helmets.
ii Personnel: Three (3) personnel are required to operate the
system.
2) Details i Three personnel are required during refueling: the
first person operates the fuel
nozzle, the second person remains at the emergency fuel shutoff
valve, and the third person stands outside the main rotor disk of
the aircraft at a point where both the pilot at the controls and
the refueler with the nozzle are visible. The third person may be
from the FARP or one of the aircraft crewmembers.
ii Refuelers must wear protective clothing consisting of— iii
Uniform. A serviceable, fire retardant flight suit uniform will be
worn with
sleeves down. A special common table of allowances authorization
may be required.
iv Helmet. The helmet assembly, rearming refueling personnel is the
authorized helmet. Two versions are available for issue: HGU-24/P
(communications- equipped) and HGU-25/P (aural protector only). The
helmets are provided in four hat sizes and include eye protection.
The cranial impact shells are available in seven different colors
and can be used to differentiate between the functions of personnel
in the FARP for example—
v POL personnel. vi Ammunition handlers. vii Armament personnel.
viii Medical personnel. ix Maintenance personnel. x Goggles. Sun,
wind, and dust goggles will be worn if the helmet assembly,
rearming refueling personnel or flight helmet is not available.
Ensure goggles are splash proof. Splash proof goggles will save the
unit time and money required to order replacement goggles due to
sand and dust.
xi Hearing protection. Both earplugs and ear protectors will be
worn. xii Gloves. Gloves must always be worn during refueling
operations. Replace
gloves that become saturated with fuel. xiii Boots. Approved
fire-retardant boots will be worn. Boots will not have any
metal on the sole including exposed nails on a worn-down sole. This
could cause a spark on contact with a hard surface causing a
fire.
xiv If a fuel handler's clothes become soaked with fuel, the
handler should discontinue refueling operations and leave the area
immediately. The handler should wet clothes with water before
removing them and wash fuel off skin with soap and water as soon as
possible.
xv For additional Safety requirements and information, see ATP
3-04.31, Table 2- 1, and ATP 4-43.
b. Quality Requirements:
LIQUID LOGISTICS HOW-TO-HANDBOOK
24
1) Key Information i Testing Frequency: Daily / Monthly ii Testing
Type: Aqua-Glo (Daily), Filter Effectiveness Test (Monthly) iii
Maximum Allowable Water from Aqua Glo: 10 PPM
2) Details: i The quality and cleanliness of fuel are vital to the
safe operation of aircraft and
equipment. Fine sediment in the fuel may block the engine fuel
supply system and erode critical parts in the engine and fuel
control systems.
ii In aircraft, free water (water not dissolved in the fuel) may
freeze at high altitudes and plug the fuel screens. This can cause
the engine to flame out and possible loss of aircraft. Saltwater is
extremely dangerous because of its potential effect on certain
aircraft systems. Also, contaminants must be separated out of fuel
before the fuel can be pumped into the aircraft. Turbine engine
filters cannot remove fine sediment, excessive amounts of sediment,
or water from the fuel. Separating the contaminants from JP5 and
JP8 is time consuming and further complicated by their high
viscosity and specific gravity.
iii The fuel in a system or refueler must be sampled and tested
daily for water prior to the start of refueling operations and
again when changing the filter elements of the filter separator on
the system or refueler. Perform this test with the Aqua-Glo kit.
The Aqua-Glo test must be taken on a moving stream of fuel. Test
system/ refuelers during the daily preoperational recirculation of
fuel. Sample the fuel in a system when the pump is operating and at
least one nozzle is open. This sampling and testing should be
performed on the system by the parent unit before the system is
deployed to a forward area.
iv The presence of water in a fuel is tested with the
automotive/aviation fuel water detector kit, commonly called the
aqua-glo kit. Aviation fuels may not be used if they contain more
than 10 PPM of water. The aqua-glo water detection test checks to
see that the filter separator is working properly. If a reading is
below the maximum allowable amount (10 PPM), the fuel is within the
limits prescribed by military specification. If the test shows more
than 10 PPM of water in the sample, the fuel does not meet
specification. This shows that the filter separator failed or that
there is a malfunction in the system. Preoperational checks along
with recirculation should be performed again to ensure operator
error was not the cause of the failure. After numerous failures
segregate the fuel, research the source of water in the fuel,
submit sample to the laboratory and contact USAPC. A passing
aqua-glo test is required daily from each fuel source prior to
issuing fuel to aircraft. (See ATP 4-43 pg. 4-16 for quality
requirements source information).

CHAPTER 8 WATER DISTRIBUTION
Bulk water distribution occurs at all echelons from Army Service
Component Command (ASCC) to company level. Army Quartermaster units
and Marine Corps engineering units are designed to provide unit
distribution to a brigade or battalion supply point, which is
typically the preferred method of resupply. However, a combination
of both unit distribution, supply point distribution, and
throughput distribution may be required at various echelons to meet
water consumption requirements. Water may be stored and distributed
at multiple locations, multiple times prior to reaching the end
user. The following will focus on basic distribution and storage
systems.
8-1. SYSTEM (LHS) WATER TANK RACK (HIPPO)
a) System description: 1) Load Handling System (LHS) Water Tank
Rack (HIPPO) represents the latest technology
in Bulk Water Distribution Systems. 2) The system is a mobile
hard-wall system providing potable water to Theater and
Brigade
Units. 3) The HIPPO consists of a 2000-gallon water tank rack with
pump, filling stand, and a 70-
foot hose reel with bulk suction and discharge hoses. It is fully
functional mounted or dismounted and is transportable when full,
partially full, or empty.
4) The HIPPO prevents water from freezing at -25 degrees and is
compatible with the Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT)
Load Handling System (LHS) and the Palletized Load System (PLS)
truck and trailer. This system can be used for bulk and retail
water distribution.

e) Site Selection: 1) 8 feet wide x 20 feet long (30 feet wide x 40
feet long on ground) 2) Terrain should be flat
f) Container Inspection: 1) The HIPPO tank must be inspected every
6 months by a Preventive Medicine
representative in order to be fully mission capable (DA form
5457).
g) Potential Safety Hazards: 1) Slips 2) Falls 3) Load handling
misuse 4) Trailer lock mechanism 5) Wheels should be attached when
loading/unloading 6) Protective equipment 7) Chock wheels on prime
mover
h) Safe Work Practices: 1) Make sure the water tank is completely
sealed to prevent dirt, leaves, windblown dust,
and other contaminants from entering the water tank. Manhole
covers, spigot box covers, and filling ports should be kept
closed.
2) Painting. Remove rust and damaged paint by scraping wire
brushing, sanding, or buffing. Sand to a smooth finish and spot
paint as necessary (refer to TB 43-0209).
3) Preservation. After cleaning and drying, immediately coat
unpainted metal surfaces with oil or grease as appropriate.
4) When the HIPPO is not being utilized and stored in the motor
pool, disconnect batteries to avoid equipment failure.
5) Ensure ladder is in place when operating in the inside of the
HIPPO. 6) Personnel within 10 ft of operational HIPPO must wear
hearing protection.

i) Limitations of Equipment: 1) Load Handling System (LHS) weight
limitation during loading HIPPO the water load
needs to be reduced to 1,765 gallons to be safely lifted by the LHS
arm. 2) After the HIPPO is positioned on the LHS it can be topped
off to 2,000 gallons. 3) IF THE PLS TRUCK IS USED, THERE ARE NO
LOAD LIMITATIONS.
ii) Winterization: (Below 35 degrees Celsius) 1) Thermal blankets
can be used to insulate metal ends of each hose segment. This
should
be performed IMMEDIATIELY upon connecting hose segment to HIPPO.
There is a small blanket for hose connection to HIPPO and nozzle.
The longer blanket can be used where two lengths of hose are
joined.
iii) Chemicals: 1) Calcium Hypochlorite (Granular Chlorine)

8-3. FORWARD AREA WATER POINT SUPPLY SYSTEM (FAWPSS)
a. System Description 1) FAWPSS Model LAB 9095 and Model M105 are
designed to receive, store, and dispense
potable drinking water. FAWPSS Model M105 is configured for
transport on a Palletized Load System (PLS) Flatrack or Container
Roll In/Roll out Platform (CROP) for the Brigade Combat Team (BCT).
FAWPSS Model LAB 9095 can store up to a maximum of 1,000 gallons of
potable water in two 500-gallon collapsible storage drums and M105
can store up to 1,500 gallons of potable water in three 500-gallon
collapsible storage drums. Equipped with a 125-gpm pump used to
pump water to four individual distribution nozzles.
b. Personnel requirements: 1) Set up: 2 2) Operate (minimum):
1
c. Towing and lifting yoke quick-release pins:
1) Filled drum may be moved short distances, at a speed not to
exceed 10 mph (16km/hr.), by towing with the towing and lifting
yoke.
2) The quick-release pin, located at the end of each connecting
leg, is used to connect the clevis ends of the yoke’s connecting
legs to the legs on the drum swivel plates.
3) Remove or install the quick-release pin by depressing the button
on the end of the pin to release it. The safety pin must be
inserted through the hole in the quick-release pin prior to towing
or lifting.
d. Site selection: 1) Location — The FAWPSS will be located and
assembled on a level area such as concrete,
asphalt, brick or stone pavers, or earth that is free from debris,
large rocks, and sharp gravel. The estimated area required for a
fully assembled FAWPSS shall consist of an open space approximately
30 ft x 120 ft (9.2 m x 37 m).
2) Proximity to power sources — The FAWPSS is self-contained for
normal operation. Fuel is required to operate the pump unit’s
engine, which is setup on the ground. Additional fuel is kept in
5-gallon (19 l) cans stowed on the ground. Use of an electrical
power source may be necessary for operation of a water
chiller.
3) Effective ranges — The FAWPSS can store water siting on the
ground or on a PLS Flatrack or CROP in temperatures ranging from
135 F (57.5 C) to -50 F (-45 C) with proper cooling or a heated
space as required.
4) Terrain requirements — The FAWPSS will be placed in an area that
is relatively level where ground cover is free from dense brush,
sharp rocks, and low hanging trees and power lines. An overhead
clearance of at least 22 ft. 2 inch. (6.7 m) is required for off-
loading of equipment on a PLS Flatrack or CROP. The site will also
be located in an area above a known flood plain should periods of
heavy rainfall occur.
e. Freezing temperatures: (below 35 degrees Celsius) 1) In below
freezing climates the FAWPSS must be kept in a heated space after
use. This
will require immediate draining of water from hoses, valves, and
pump after use, and drums must be enclosed by tent and heated, or
moved to a heated building, or drained.
LIQUID LOGISTICS HOW-TO-HANDBOOK
39
f. Chemicals: 1) During distribution of potable water, Calcium
Hypochlorite is used to maintain 1 PPM
Chlorine Residual. An hourly log is maintained to record
residual.
g. Equipment characteristics, capabilities, and features: 1) The
FAWPSS is designed to store and dispense potable water. 2) Storing
a maximum of 1,000 – 1,500 gallons of potable water. 3) Dispensing
potable water by pumping the water from the collapsible storage
drums to the
nozzles at the water dispensing points. 4) The FAWPSS is equipped
with four separate nozzles for distribution of potable water
at
four individual water distribution points. 5) Two nozzles stand
assemblies are furnished to store the nozzles when not in use. 6) A
125 GPM pumping assembly is provided to pump potable water from the
collapsible
storage drums to the nozzles at the distribution points. 7) The
FAWPSS can be operated in a wide range of climate conditions.
However, special
requirements for storing water filled drums in extreme heat (135° F
(57.5° C)) or extreme cold (-50° F (-45° C)) are necessary. For
example, in warm climates the drums are kept out of direct sunlight
and a chiller may be connected for cooling the water. In
temperatures below freezing, water must be drained from the pump
immediately after use, and drums containing water must be kept in a
heated space.
Typical FAWPSS Standard Configuration (Model LAB 9095).
LIQUID LOGISTICS HOW-TO-HANDBOOK
Typical FAWPSS BCT Configuration (Model M105).
h. Differences between models 1) Differences between the FAWPSS
Model LAB 9095 and Model M105 are limited to
component quantities, layout, and transportability, with only minor
differences in part configuration; these differences do not affect
basic operating and maintenance procedures.
2) There are no interchangeability differences between the two
models; both utilize the same components.
3) The primary difference between the two models is in how they are
transported. Model M105 is designed to utilize a PLS Flat-rack or
CROP to support filled drums for increased mobility and decreased
assembly time prior to operation. This model eliminates the need to
truck water to the field to fill drums by enabling the drums to be
easily moved to and from the water source or to a new position in
the field. In addition, Model M105 is equipped to support the BCT’s
potable water needs for 30mday durations.
4) To help identify quantity and configuration differences between
models for major FAWPSS components, refer to table 1 and figures 1
and 2 in this work package, and the Useable On-Codes (UOC) listed
in the Component of End item (COEI) and Repair Parts and Special
Tools List (RPSTL) provided in this TM.
