The FAW Jiefang Aircraft Refueling Truck is an advanced, high-performance ground support vehicle engineered to meet the stringent demands of modern aviation refueling. Built on the highly reliable and robust Qingdao Jiefang J6F hazardous materials chassis, this refueler combines exceptional mobility, sophisticated filtration technology, and precise metering to deliver fuel safely and efficiently to aircraft and other receiving equipment.

1. FAW Aircraft Refueling Truck Key Performance & Technical Specifications

Every component of the FAW Jiefang Aviation Refueler is meticulously engineered to ensure fuel purity, operational precision, and maximum durability.

Tank & Fuel Integrity

• Material & Structure: The tank is constructed from high-grade, lightweight aluminum alloy. This material significantly reduces the vehicle’s deadweight, allows for a larger load volume, and offers outstanding corrosion resistance. It eliminates internal contamination, ensuring that the aviation fuel remains absolutely clean and pure.

• Liquid Level Indicator: Equipped with a stainless steel internal float ball in the tank, paired with a highly visible 10-inch aluminum alloy dial on the left side of the vehicle. Operators can easily and accurately monitor the real-time liquid volume inside the tank.

High-Performance Pumping & Metering

• Aviation Fuel Pump: Powered by a premium, self-priming centrifugal pump constructed from high-grade stainless steel to prevent fuel contamination.

  • Reel Refueling Flow Rate: 300 L/min

  • Pipelined Pumping Flow Rate: 700 L/min

  • Rated Working Pressure: 0.25 MPa

• Flow Meter: Integrates a highly accurate Class 0.2 precision, 50mm-diameter (DN50) lobe (oval wheel) flow meter, guaranteeing precise measurement during high-speed refueling operations.

Premium Filtration & Dispensing

• Filter Separator: Designed to meet the stringent international API 1581 (3rd Edition) standards.

  • Rated Flow Rate: 400 L/min

  • Rated Working Pressure: 1.0 MPa

  • Maximum Allowable Differential Pressure: 0.15 MPa

  • This system guarantees the efficient removal of trace water and particulates from the aviation fuel.

• Gravity Refueling Reel: Features an automatic rewinding (spring-return) reel equipped with a premium, heavy-duty 38mm-diameter, 15-meter-long aviation refueling hose and a high-performance gravity refueling nozzle.

Centralized Control & Operating System

The vehicle features a dedicated, independent control cabin that serves as the centralized operating station.

• Precision Monitoring Instrumentation:

  • Pump Inlet Vacuum Gauge

  • Pump Outlet Pressure Gauge

  • Fuel Pump Tachometer (RPM Meter)

  • Filter Differential Pressure (DP) Gauge

• Integrated Valve & Switch Controls: Includes the master power switch, illumination controls, emergency stop switch, fuel pump speed-regulation knob, refueling control valve, circulation/filtration valve, sampling valve, and a multi-way subsea (emergency shut-off) valve control switch.

2. FAW Aircraft Refueling Truck Multi-Functional Capabilities

To adapt to diverse airport ground operational needs, the refueling truck supports three major operational modes:

1. Reel Gravity Refueling (Aircraft Fueling): Fuel is drawn from the onboard tank, passed through the high-precision filter separator for contaminant removal, measured accurately by the flow meter, and then safely delivered to aircraft fuel tanks or other receiving vessels via the 15m hose reel and gravity nozzle.

2. Pump-Out Filtration & Circulation (Fuel Scrubbing): Enables active fuel circulation and filtration. Fuel from the vehicle’s tank or external piping is pumped through the filter separator and returned back to the tank or other receiving equipment, ensuring the fuel meets the highest purity standards before refueling.

3. Tank Loading & Bottom Loading: Supports bottom-loading through standard coupling valves connected to external storage lines. Additionally, the onboard self-priming pump can be used to suction fuel from external reservoirs into the vehicle’s tank.
