Field fuel spill kit design

Fuel spill kits for use in refuelling quads in the field have been designed and tested in the field by AAD staff.

These include fuel spill containment and recovery equipment for initial responses to fuel spills in field camps and at stations. Fuel spill equipment has been updated at each station to reflect changing operational practices.

The spill trays can also be used as fuel bunds under standing generators while they are running or being refuelled, and under stoves and jiffy drills during refuelling.

The kits include the AAD designed spill tray to minimise risk of spills onto soil, rock or ice during refuelling, as well as removable absorbent pads for mopping up should a spill occur. The trays are collapsible for easy transport, have self supporting side walls, and have been designed with tie-down points and tent pegs to keep them in place.

They can also double up as storage bunds for 20 litre containers in the field.

The fuel spill kits include:

  • a spill tray (a large one for quads and a smaller one for fuel stoves)
  • absorbent mat and pillows
  • protective gloves
  • plastic bags with ties for the storage of oily waste
  • drum top covers
  • mini spill boom
