1 Introduction

The KellyFuel pump is intended as a universal fueling system to enable fueling for both SA and non-SA aircraft. The pumps will attempt to identify the aircraft type and identify the fueling system used by that aircraft. The supported fueling systems are:

  • KellyFuel - Used by SA and aircraft by participating creators.
  • Basic - Aircraft that use the "refuel" command in local chat.

The procedure for fueling are nearly the same for both types except that basic fuel system aircraft usually only support a single tank per aircraft. To use the the pump, you must first "connect" the aircraft with the pump, then following the fueling procedure as described in the following two sections.

2 Connecting Aircraft

To use the KellyFuel 3.0 pump to service your aircraft, use the following procedure to prepare aircraft for fueling:

  1. Park aircraft within 20m of pump.
  2. Click pump. Select aircraft by tail number, or aircraft type.
  3. If the aircraft has multiple tanks, select tank to be filled. If the aircraft has only one tank, it will be automatically selected.
  4. If the aircraft requires it, open any access doors and caps for that tank.

3 Grounding Your Aircraft

Before fueling, you should ground your aircraft to prevent fires from static discharges. You may use the ground wire spool on either side of the pump (Jet-A or 100LL side). Failure to ground your aircraft can result in a fuel fire (with HD fire).

4 Fueling Aircraft

Once aircraft has been selected, to Fuel Aircraft:

  1. Click on fuel hose insert nozzle into filler.
  2. Press ENT on keypad to verify it has been grounded
  3. Click the credit card reader to "read" your credit card (RP Only)
  4. Select 2 for Jet-A Fuel
  5. Enter the maximum number of gallons, then ENT
  6. Reset the meter by clicking the knob on the side
  7. Turn the switch next to the pump on the Jet-A side to ON
  8. Wait for fueling to complete. Fueling will stop when requested number of gallons have been added, the tank is full, or you turn the fuel switch to OFF.
  9. Press either 1 to fuel another tank, or 2 to end fueling.

5 For Creators

For creators wishing to use KellyFuel in their aircraft please see KellyFuel Creator Instructions.
