Caution: This is a past version. See the current version here.

(1) A person who has the managment of any aviation fuel  installation on an
aerodrome in Hong Kong shall not cause or permit any fuel to be delivered to
that installation or from it to an aircraft unless:-

   (a)  when the aviation fuel is delivered into the installation he is
        satisfied that;

        (i)    the installation is capable of storing and dispensing the fuel
               so as not to render it unfit for use in aircraft; and

        (ii)   the installation is marked in a manner appropriate to the grade
               of fuel stored or if different grades are stored in different
               parts each part is so marked; and

        (iii)  in the case of delivery into the installation or part thereof
               from a vehicle or vessel, the fuel has been sampled and is of a
               grade appropriate to that installation or that part of the
               installation as the case may be and is fit for use in aircraft;

   (b)  when any aviation fuel is dispensed from the installation he is
        satisfied as the result of sampling that the fuel is fit for use in
        aircraft: Provided that this paragraph shall not apply in respect of
        fuel which has been removed from an aircraft and is intended for use
        in another aircraft operated by the same operator as the aircraft from
        which it has been removed.

(2) A person to whom paragraph (1) of this Article applies shall keep a
written record in respect of each installation of which he has the management,
which record shall include-

   (a)  particulars of the grade and quantity of aviation fuel delivered and
        the date of delivery;

   (b)  particulars of all samples taken of the aviation fuel and of the
        results of tests of those samples;

   (c)  particulars of the maintenance and cleaning of the installation; and
        he shall preserve the written record for a period of 12 months or such
        longer period as the Governor may in a particular case direct and
        shall, within a reasonable time after being requested to do so by an
        authorized  person, produce such record to that person.

(3) (a) A person shall not cause or permit any aviation fuel to be dispensed
for use in an aircraft if he knows or has reason to believe that the
aviation fuel is not fit for use in aircraft.

   (b)  If it appears to the Governor or an authorized person that any
        aviation fuel is intended or likely to be delivered in contravention
        of any provision of this Article, the Governor or that
        authorized person may direct the person having the management of the
        installation not to permit aviation fuel to be dispensed from that
        installation until the direction has been revoked by the Governor or
        by an authorized person.
