4. Procedure
Subtask 28-11-00-860-108-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A LARGE QUANTITY OF KATHON BIOCIDE IN THE FUEL. MORE THAN 100 PPM IS NOT PERMITTED IN:

THE ENGINES
THE FUEL TANKS
THE FUEL UPLIFTED TO THE AIRCRAFT.

(1) Drain the water from all of the fuel tanks (Ref. AMM TASK 12-32-28-281-001).
(2) Defuel the aircraft (Ref. AMM TASK 28-25-00-650-001).
(3) Drain the remaining fuel from all of the tanks (Ref. AMM TASK 28-25-00-650-003).
(4) Do the EIS stop procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-002).
(5) De-energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-862-002).

A. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A LARGE QUANTITY OF KATHON BIOCIDE IN THE FUEL. MORE THAN 100 PPM IS NOT PERMITTED IN:

THE ENGINES
THE FUEL TANKS
THE FUEL UPLIFTED TO THE AIRCRAFT.

(1) Drain the water from all of the fuel tanks, (Ref. AMM TASK 12-32-28-281-001) and (Ref. AMM TASK 12-32-28-281-005).
(2) Defuel the aircraft (Ref. AMM TASK 28-25-00-650-001).
(3) Drain the remaining fuel from all of the tanks, (Ref. AMM TASK 28-25-00-650-003) and (Ref. AMM TASK 28-25-00-650-005).
(4) Do the EIS stop procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-002).
(5) De-energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-862-002).

Subtask 28-11-00-615-058-A

B. Removal of the Microbiological Particles
(1) Do the procedure for the removal of microbiological particles (Ref. AMM TASK 28-11-00-600-003).

NOTE: Do this procedure as soon as possible. This will prevent corrosion of the fuel tank structure.

Subtask 28-11-00-670-064-A

C. Biocidal Shock Treatment for Heavy Contamination - with Fuel Mixed with Kathon Biocide
(1) In not more than 10 days, refuel all the fuel tanks to the maximum capacity. Refuel with fuel mixed with Antimicrobial Agent-Fuel System Liquid Additive - (Material No.11KBB1) , at a concentration of 100 ppm (by volume) (Ref. AMM TASK 12-11-28-650-003).

NOTE: AIRBUS recommends that you refuel the aircraft to the maximum capacity. If this is not done (for operational reasons) microbiological contamination can stay in the upper part of the tanks.

(2) Let the fuel stay in the tanks for between 12 and 24 hours.

NOTE: In a high ambient temperature, the soak time must be a minimum of 12 hours. In a low ambient temperature, the soak time must be a minimum of 24 hours. AIRBUS recommends that you always let the fuel stay in the tanks for 24 hours.

(3) During the soak time:

Do not move the aircraft
Do not operate the fuel pumps or APU
Do not do water drain tests, a high concentration of biocide will be in the sample.

(4) After the soak time, the fuel and biocide is burned through the APU and engines during normal operations.

NOTE: Obey the engine manufacturers restrictions and guidelines for your aircraft.

5. Close-up
Subtask 28-11-00-942-113-A

A. Removal of Equipment

NOTE: For disposal of waste fuel, refer to the local regulations.

(1) Make sure that the work area is clean and clear of tools and other items.
(2) Remove the safety barriers.
(3) Remove the WARNING NOTICE(S).
(4) Remove the ground support and maintenance equipment, the special and standard tools and all other items.

Subtask 28-11-00-281-058-A

B. Contamination Check
(1) Do the sampling procedure again in 10 days (but after a minimum of 5 flights) to check for contamination (Ref. AMM TASK 12-32-28-281-003).

NOTE: AIRBUS recommends that if you get a negligible result, you do not continue to use the biocide treatment.
