AAFARS has a 240-gallon-per-minute pump that provides fuel to four fueling points at a rate of 55 GPM minimum at each point. AAFARS offers significant tactical advantage with its small size, light weight, high reliability, low noise, and ease of use. This rugged system is helicopter-transportable and soldier-portable. Assembly in 20 minutes and tear-down in 30 minutes have been demonstrated in the field.

AAFARS’ key advantage is the ability to be flown in under a transport helicopter.

D-1, CCR, and Gravity nozzles are provided for refueling of practically any aircraft or ground vehicle. Other key features include multiple fuel capability that allows it to run on the same fuel as is being delivered to the aircraft or vehicle, and electric start capability with manual pull start back-up. The recirculation feature incorporates a pressure control valve to mitigate shock when nozzles are closed.
