My View From The Manchester Airport Fuel Farm
The Job I hated to Leave.
I work at Manchester Airport int 2004 to 2005 as a Jet Fuel receiver at Wiggins Airways Fuel Farm. The Fuel Farm consisted of two 250,000 gallon Jet A Fuel Tanks.
It was a great job working with a bunch of nice guys. I'll always rember my Boss JR, I don't know his full name. He was one of the funniest Guys I met. He also had the right Personality to deal with all the problems that can happen at the Fuel Farm. He has a huge responsibility. The fuel farm had to Fuel all the Airliners and Feight aircraft on the airfield, they also had to fuel every ground support vehicle on the property, probably over a hundred. There were about 15 trucks that serviced the Airliners. The Airlines themselves were very demanding. They would put a lot of pressure on us. In the Winter it was a dangerous place to work, the Taxiway roads were very icy and the Fuel and De ice trucks were always on the move. My job at the Fuel Farm was to receive Jet A Fuel to be stored in the two 250,000 gallon fuel Tanks. I had to check the purity to make sure there was Absoulutely no water or other contaminents in the Fuel. I also had to check the weight and temperture of the fuel before allowing it to be transfered from Tanker Truck to Farm Tanks. I had a little wooden shack for a office with no heat or electricity. It was cold as Hell in the Winter, but I loved it! In between Truck Loads if I had time I would go out and help the guys fuel the Aircraft. Lots of noise and vibrations. It was a great experience.
