What is the required distance for fuel tankers to stay away from any buildings?

The required distance for fuel tankers to maintain from any buildings is established for safety reasons, primarily to minimize risks associated with fire and explosions in the presence of flammable materials. The correct distance is 50 feet, which is designed to provide a sufficient buffer zone to protect both personnel and property from potential hazards associated with fuel storage and transfer operations. This distance takes into account factors such as the size of the tanker, the nature of the materials being transported, and the potential risk of spills or leaks.

By adhering to this regulation, operators contribute to creating a safer environment airside, mitigating the chances of an incident that could affect aircraft operations or infrastructure. Maintaining this specified distance plays an important role in ensuring compliance with safety standards established in the aviation industry.
