Fueling controls and insurance review

Fueling procedures support an underwriting narrative when they are documented and followed. They do not replace coverage for the actual storage, distribution and dispensing operation.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE

An operational scenario

A fuel-quality concern arises after several deliveries. Traceable batches, testing records and customer notification procedures can materially improve the response and investigation.

Illustrative example only; this is not a Montridge client or reported claim.

The insurance distinction

Operational guidance, lease requirements and policy conditions have different authority. FAA fuel-handling guidance should be applied in its actual context; insurance questions remain governed by the relevant forms.

What to examine

Review receipt, storage, sampling, filtration, equipment inspection, training and incident escalation with qualified operational personnel. Include mobile fueling and subcontracted transport in the insurance discussion; avoid assuming a premises description captures both.

Evidence to gather

  • Written fuel-quality procedures
  • Sampling and equipment inspection records
  • Supplier and transport agreements
  • Incident and spill response arrangements

Questions for your review

  • Can deliveries be traced to affected aircraft?
  • Who can suspend dispensing and notify the response team?
  • Does insurance reflect storage, mobile work and transport?
