  10.2.1 Fuel piping should be accessible, protected from mechanical damage, be effectively secured against excessive movements and vibration, and so routed that it does not pass through passenger, cargo, or crew compartments. Flexible fuel pipes should have suitable connexions, be resistant to salt, water, oil and vibration, be visible, easily accessible and should not penetrate watertight bulkheads.

  10.2.2 Fuel tank filling, vent and drain lines should be of adequate size and terminate in a manner that will not constitute a hazard.

  10.2.3 Provision should be made for the management and control of the fuel system from a position readily accessible to the crew. Where gravity tanks are arranged, remote controlled shut-off valves should be provided at the tank.
