WARNING
All aircraft fuel must be dispensed through a filted/separator unit. It is
mandatory that the performance of the filter/separators on all aircraft
refueling equipment be checked every 30 days through submission of
samples taken from the stream of the filter/separator to assure that the
fuel is clean and dry.

the Army, Army National Guard, or Reserve operating aircraft refueling equipment. Samples will be sent
