 (2)  
Before you use ventilation equipment make sure the blower or venturi is connected to the airplane ground. The ventilation blower or the venturi must be explosion-proof.

 S 912-239

 (3)  
Air ducts must be bonded to form a continuous electrical conductor, and grounded in at least one place to a static electrical ground.

 S 912-240

 (4)  
If you use the ventilation equipment to exhaust fuel vapors from the tank, static build-up on or in the air ducts can reach a level where a spark can ignite the vapors and an explosion can occur. The air ducts must be coated inside and out with a conductive coating and each section correctly bonded to each other. Air ducts made from vinyl fabric are not recommended because vinyl is an insulator of static charges. If the air duct uses a metal helical wire to create a non-collapsible duct, make sure the wire is permanently attached to a metal or conductive plastic connection on each end of the duct section.

 (5)  
Equipment used to ventilate the fuel tanks or provide warm or cool air must not be turned off with the air duct in the fuel tank. The fuel vapor from the fuel tank can enter the air duct and cause an explosion at the motor. Make sure the blower is on before you put the air duct in the fuel tank. Make sure the blower remains on until the air duct is removed from the fuel tank.

 S 912-242

 (6)  
When you remove an air duct from the fuel tank or disconnect the air duct at the blower, turn the duct 180 degrees away from the purging area. This will stop the flow of fuel vapor into the air duct line.

 S 912-243

 (7)  
During fuel tank maintenance, make sure there is continuous mechanical ventilation. The fresh air flow from the ventilation equipment must maintain the oxygen levels between 19.5% and 23.5% by volume and the fuel vapor levels below 10% LEL (fire safe limit).

 S 912-244

 (8)  
Use a combustible gas indicator to monitor the environment inside the fuel tank. The indicator must be designed for Class I, Division 1 hazardous locations and calibrated for the correct type of jet fuel. The indicator must be securely attached to a ladder or stand at the fuel tank entry location. As an alternate procedure, you can take an additional combustible gas indicator into the fuel tank to monitor the environment where you will do the maintenance.
