Project PETROL RAM: Improving the Management of Air Force Fuels Operations and Inventories

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to provide a handbook on Project PETROL RAM and its ideas for enhancing the base-level fuels operations. This handbook is to serve as an introduction and reference guide to the components, characteristics, and capabilities of the proposed initiative. In preparing this handbook, available information on the structure, operations, and procedures of a typical base Fuels Management Branch was gathered, then condensed and simplified. For added depth and understanding, personal interviews with personnel involved in the design and development of this project were conducted. The research resulted in a handbook which describes, in simplified terminology, the different systems which are being developed under the Project PETROL RAM initiative. Keywords: Fuels, Fuel systems, Fuel tanks, POL storage, Theses.
