AFS Aviation Fuel Services GmbH primarily supplies JET A-1 kerosene, which complies with the current version of the JIG Aviation Fuel Quality Requirements for Jointly Operated Systems (AFQRJOS), DEFSTAN 91-91 and ASTM D 1655-08a.\u00a0In addition, AVGAS 100 LL aviation fuel is available for <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">re<\/span>fuelling aircraft with piston engines at some locations.<\/p>\n<p>The necessary checks and procedures are internationally standardized. Using modern test methods, checks are carried out before the product is accepted, during storage, after the tankers have been filled from the storage facility, and before and during fuelling to ensure that the fuel is always clear and free from water or impurities (clear and bright).<\/p>\n<p>In addition, filters are used during storage \u2013 from road bridgers, rail tanker or a pipeline into the airport storage facility \u2013 and during transfer from the storage facility to the fueling truck to filter out any water particles or dirt.<\/p>\n<h3>High-purity fuel for aircraft refuelling<\/h3>\n<p>Aircraft with piston engines are fuelled with high-octane aviation fuel, known as AVGAS. AFS refuels exclusively with AVGAS 100 LL (DEFSTAND 91-90) and tests it multiple times to ensure compliance with all quality standards.\u00a0At every AFS site, specially trained quality inspectors work in close coordination with the Chief Quality Inspector in the specialist department of the head office to ensure a high standard of product quality.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1769628673945{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1770212153220{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Experience, service and solutions AFS Aviation Fuel Services GmbH fuels an average of 300,000 aircraft per year, including commercial and cargo flights as well as general aviation.
