The air in the fuel tank could cause oxidation of fuel during storage, and it also reduced the fuel transfer performance. To find better procedure for refueling of aircraft fuel tank, the vacuum refueling process was proposed to reduce the air in the fuel tank. In this study, the vacuum refueling process was established and tested, it could be helpful to find out what happened during vacuum refueling. Also the revised vacuum refueling process was proposed to reduce the air and refueling time.

The air remained in the fuel tank could cause oxidation of fuel during storage, and it also reduce the fuel transfer performance. To find better procedure for refueling of aircraft fuel tank, the vacuum refueling process was proposed to reduce air in the fuel tank. In this study, the vacuum refueling process established and tested, it could be helpful to find out what happened during vacuum refueling. Also the revised vacuum refueling processes were proposed to reduce the remained air and refueling time for aircraft fuel tank.
