The big amount of fuel contained in every aircraft make a closed room like and hangar a dangerous place in case of leakage from aircraft tanks.

GASES INVOLVED

Kereosene: intermediate hydrocarbon fraction ranging between petrol and Diesel oil, got by distillation of crude oil at 150°C to 250°C.

EXPECTED RISKS

Kereosene: its ignition is very difficult because it requires high temperature and high pressure. However, it needs to be monitored for handled quantities and potential combustion in case of fire.
