Aviation fuel tankers are specialized vehicles designed to store and transport aviation fuel, such as jet fuel, to airports for aircraft refueling. These tankers typically feature large - capacity fuel storage tanks constructed from high - strength, corrosion - resistant materials like stainless steel or aluminum alloys to ensure the integrity of the fuel during transit. They are equipped with precise metering systems to accurately measure the volume of fuel being transferred, as even slight inaccuracies can impact aircraft performance and safety. Advanced safety features are integrated, including emergency shut - off valves, fire - suppression systems, and electrostatic grounding devices to prevent ignition sources. Additionally, aviation fuel tankers must comply with strict international and local regulations regarding fuel handling, storage, and transportation to safeguard both the environment and personnel involved in the process.
