We have created together with European refineries a partnership which gives us a strong worldwide presence, based on superior service, top quality of the product as well as expertise in international networking. Through them we supply Aviation fuels: AvGas 100ll, AvGas UL (Unleaded), Jet fuel and enhanced specifications of such Jet, meaning F-34 (JP8) and F-44 (JP5). Such are being shipped to the farthest reaches of the world using cargo airlifts, sea shipment vessels and other means of transportations.
Our mutual aspirations are to deliver reliable, dependable and consistent supply chain, so our customers can have confidence in our services. We are currently expanding our distribution of these products to countries outside Europe, especially countries in Middle East, Far East and Africa.
The AvGas and Jet fuel variations are our top distributed products by volume, meeting Standard DEF STAN specs. At various stages, from refinery manufacturing to the final delivery to the aircraft fuel tank, fuel quality is checked to ensure that the fuel is clean and free from contamination.
Types of Aviation Fuels
The standard applies to two grades of aviation fuel (Turbine – grades F/34 (JP8), and F/44 (JP5) and Piston Engine which uses mainly AvGas type of aviation fuel).
Grade F/34 (JP8)
JP8 is the equivalent of Jet A-1 with the addition of corrosion inhibitor and anti-icing additives; it meets the requirements of the U.S. Specification MIL-DTL-83133J. The UK also has a specification for this grade namely DEF STAN 91-87 (formerly DERD 2453). Code F-34.
Grade F/44 (JP5)
JP5 is a high flash point kerosene meeting the requirements of the U.S. Specification MIL-DTL-5624U Grade JP-5. The UK specification for this grade is DEF STAN 91-86 AVCAT/FSII (formerly DERD 2452). This is primarily jet fuel for use in aircraft carriers. Code F-44.
Summarising these two grades, Grade F/34 is a kerosene-type aviation turbine fuel, and grade F-44 is a high-flash kerosene-type aviation turbine fuel. Kerosene-type aviation turbine fuels are distillates with a minimum flash point of 38°C and high-flash type aviation turbine fuels are distillates with a minimum flash point of 60°C.
Avgas 100LL
This grade is the lower lead version of Avgas 100. Low lead is a relative term. There is still up to 0.56 g/litre of lead in Avgas 100LL. This grade is listed in the same specifications as Avgas 100, namely ASTM D 910 and UK DEF STAN 91-90. Avgas 100LL is dyed blue and is the main grade of Avgas used worldwide.
Avgas UL91
Compositionally this grade is somewhat comparable with Avgas 100LL but with a zero lead content, which results in a lower octane rating of 91MON. Avgas UL91 is specified in ASTM D7547. Avgas UL91 differs principally from both Avgas UL87 and UL82 not only in the higher octane rating, but in lower vapour pressure (49kPa max compared with 60kPa max in ASTM D6227) and that oxygenates such as ethers are not permitted. In common with all other current Avgas specifications, ASTM D7547 does not permit the use of alcohols such as ethanol.
Delivery Terms
We can deliver fuel in various packing forms i.e.:
- 40ft (foot) containers fully loaded with 152 drums/barrels of 216.5 liter capacity or
- 20ft (foot) containers fully loaded with 80 drums/barrels of 216.5 liter capacity or
- BFCs – ISO containers, or
- by road in 33,000 litre truck tanks (the last option is only throughout Europe, including the UK, Ireland and Turkey and Middle East).
In case of AvGas our preferable method for distributions outside Europe are 40ft containers, fully loaded with the drums/barrels, as it reduces the risk of contamination and avoids quality issues on the other side of the ocean, at the end of the journey.
Inside each 40′ (foot) container, there will be 152 drums/barrels containing 195 liters of AvGas. Some clients prefer this option, as once they get to the final destination they already have the fuel in the drums/barrels for retail distribution.
In terms of your price tag, this method of delivery increases our costs, as we have to purchase the drums/barrels for our client, and each of them costs around 27 EUR/36 USD. Therefore, your price per liter will shift by $0.14 (EUR 27 divided by 200 liters).
Nonetheless, it should have no impact on business, as most clients would have to buy these drums/barrels here or at the final destination port.
