What is one function of testing the pumps and filters in BFTFS?

Testing the pumps and filters in Bulk Fuel Tactical Fuel Systems (BFTFS) primarily serves to ensure effective and safe fuel transfer. This function is critical because it verifies that the pumps are operating at optimal performance and that the filters are functioning correctly to prevent contaminants from entering the fuel system. Proper operation of these components is essential for maintaining fuel quality and ensuring that the equipment receiving the fuel operates safely and efficiently. Testing helps to identify any potential issues before they lead to more significant problems that could compromise safety or operational capabilities. This focus on safety and efficiency aligns with overall best practices in fuel management and logistics support operations.
