Introduction
This manual shows and tells how to rig the forward area refueling equipment (FARE),
to include the rigging of hazardous material--gasoline, JP4, and diesel fuel. The
FARE is rigged with the following:
Trailers. M101, M101A1, 3/4-ton, two-wheel trailers for low-velocity
airdrop from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
Two Fuel Drums. Two 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity airdrop
from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
Seven Fuel Drums. Seven 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity
airdrop from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
Vehicle. M998, 1 1/4-ton truck (HMMWV) for low-velocity airdrop from C-130,
C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
This manual shows and tells how to rig the 4-inch, 350 GPM wheel-mounted pumping
assembly, to include the rigging of hazardous material-- gasoline, JP4, and diesel fuel.
The 4-inch, 350-GPM wheel-mounted pumping assembly is rigged with the following:
Pumps and Separators. Two 4-inch, 350-GPM wheel-mounted pumping assem-
blies and two separators are rigged for low-velocity airdrop from C-130, C-141,
C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
Three Fuel Drums. Three 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity
airdrop from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
Four Fuel Drums. Four 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity air-
drop from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
Five Fuel Drums. Five 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity air-
drop from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
Six Fuel Drums. Six 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity airdrop
from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
This manual shows and tells how to rig the Advanced Aviation Forward Area Refu-
eling System (AAFARS), to include the rigging of hazardous material-- gasoline, JP4,
and diesel fuel. The AAFARS is rigged with the following:
Three Fuel Drums. Three 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity
airdrop from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
ix
Four Fuel Drums. Four 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity
airdrop from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
Five Fuel Drums. Five 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity
airdrop from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
Six Fuel Drums. Six 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity
airdrop from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
Seven Fuel Drums. Seven 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity
airdrop from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.
The following conditions must be met when rigging these loads:
CAUTION:
There must be no more than 432 gallons of liquid in each
drum when rigged for low-velocity airdrop. Do not pressurize
drums with air.
Hazardous Material. When included as a part of these loads, fuel must be
packaged, marked, and labeled as described in AFMAN(I) 24-204/TM 38-250.
Weight. Each drum of fuel MUST be weighed to learn its exact weight, as
the drum has no gauge to measure the liquid content. For computing liquid
weight per US gallon, 6 pounds are used for gasoline, 6.4 pounds for JP4 fuel,
6.7 pounds for JP8 fuel, and 6.68 pounds for diesel fuel. When empty, the drum
weighs 250 pounds.
CAUTION:
Because the fuel drum is flexible, it will rebound upon
ground impact and the lashings may be broken. This could
free the drum and allow it to roll off the platform and create
a possible hazard in the immediate area.
Manuals. A copy of this manual must be available to the joint airdrop
inspectors during the before- and after-loading inspections.
NOTICE of EXCEPTION:
The procedures in this manual for installing the Suspension
Sling Safety Ties may differ from those in FM 4-20.102/
NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO-010/TO 13C7-1-5. An exception
to FM 4-20.102/ NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO-010/TO 13C7-1-5
is granted. The procedures in this manual MUST be followed.

Rigging FARE For Low -Velocity Airdrop On Type V
Platform
SECTION I - RIGGING FARE WITH TWO 500-GALLON FUEL DRUMS
DESCRIPTION OF LOAD
1-1. The Forward Area Refueling Equipment (FARE) is rigged on a 12-foot, type
V platform with two G-11 cargo parachutes. There are two collapsible fuel
drums as an accompanying load. When empty, each drum weighs 250 pounds.
Each drum is filled with 432 gallons of liquid. Overall length is 162 inches.
Width is 108 inches. Height is 70 inhes. Center of balance is 72 inches
Notes: 1. For drums filled with a liquid other than gasoline, use Table 1-1 to
recompute the weight.
2. If the load varies from the one shown, the weight, height, CB, tipoff
curve, and parachute requirements must be recomputed.
3. Do not pressurize drums with air.
