General
Fuel is contained in three integral fuel tanks, one in each wing and one in the fuselage centre section. A
refuel/defuel station, situated in the underside of the right wing leading edge, consists of a standard fuel
coupling, an off-load valve for defuelling and transfer between tanks, and a refuel control panel.

These quantities refer to an aircraft fuelled to override cut-off. When gravity filled, the quantity in each wing tank reduces to 1005
Imp gal. (1207 US gal., 4569 litre, 8040 lb., 3647 kg.) but the centre tank quantity remains the same.
The automatic refuel preselect will only refuel TNT Aircraft to a total of 8800kg. (3500 kg / 1800 kg / 3500 kg)
If a higher fuel load is required then the refuel must be continued after shutdown of the automatic system by selecting the refuel
valve switches to override
WARNING:
If a Full tanks refuel is started with the refuel switches set directly to override there is
a high risk of a fuel spillage from the NACA ducts at the wing tips due to venting.

IN THE EVENT OF FUEL SPILLAGE OR FIRE, STOP REFUELLING, SHUT DOWN REFUEL
FACILITY AND ELECTRICAL POWER, AND OPERATE THE APU CUT-OFF SITUATED AT
THE REFUEL CONTROL PANEL.

Refuelling Overview
1
Pressure refuelling is governed from the control panel; automatically by using the
load preselect, or manually by use of the tank refuelling valve override switches.
12 of 25
13 of 25
In the event of the pressure refuel system failing it is possible to refuel the aircraft using the over wing gravity
refuelling points.
Over wing gravity refuelling points are provided for each tank for refuelling when the pressure system fails.

At refuel control panel, make certain off-load valve is shut (lever horizontal), and MASTER
switch is set to OFF, left, centre and right refuel VALVE position indicators show cross-hatch.
Set MASTER switch to ON. Make certain refuel VALVE position indicators go to SHUT, and fuel
quantity indicators show correct existing fuel state.
Set LEFT, CENTRE and RIGHT refuel valve switches to PRE-SELECT and make certain all
three refuel VALVE position indicators go to OPEN.
Turn LOAD PRESELECT ANTI-clockwise to zero and make certain all three refuel VALVE
position indicators go to SHUT.
NOTE: If the tank contents are at or below unusable fuel level (the level at which the gauges
and preselect are set at zero) then the valves will not shut.
Set all refuel valve switches to OVERRIDE and make certain all three refuel VALVE position
indicators go to OPEN.
Set switches to SHUT and make certain refuel VALVE indicators go to SHUT.

A sample of fuel is to be taken from the vehicle water test point and a standard industry
test is to be performed to ensure the fuel is free from water.
The test sample should be retained for inspection by flight crew / TNT representative if
requested.
The test sample may be disposed of after departure of the aircraft

Position tanker hose coupling and bond hose to aircraft. Remove blanking cap from
aircraft fuel coupling and connect tanker hose.

Set all three refuel valve switches to PRE-SELECT and adjust LOAD PRESELECT to
required load.
a) - Switches to preselect
Down SHUT
Mid PRESELECT
Up
OVERRIDE
b) - Then adjust load preselect
20 of 25
Make certain refuel VALVE position indicators show OPEN for all tanks due to receive
fuel.
NOTE: If load selected does not require fuel in the centre tank, the CENTRE indicator will show
SHUT.
21 of 25
For absolute maximum fuel load, set refuel valve switches to PRE-SELECT and adjust
LOAD PRESELECT to its maximum,
a. Continue refuelling to preselect cut-off.
b. Then set refuel valve switches to override, make certain refuel valve indicators show
OPEN, continue refuelling until high level tank switches operate and fuel flow stops.
Make certain tank FULL indicators come on.
NOTE:
The automatic refuel preselect will only refuel TNT Aircraft to a total of 8800kg.
(3500 / 1800 / 3500)
If a higher fuel load is require then the refuel must be continued after shutdown
of the automatic system by selecting the refuel valve switches to override
WARNING
If a full tanks refuel is started with the refuel switches selected directly to the
override position there is a high risk of a fuel spillage from the NACA ducts at
the wing tips due to venting.

Make certain all refuel VALVE indicators show SHUT, and fuel quantity indicators show
required fuel load.
On refuel panel make certain fuel quantity indicators show correct fuel load.
At refuel control panel, set refuel valve switches to SHUT, and MASTER switch to OFF.
