What is the purpose of fuel system integrity testing?

The purpose of fuel system integrity testing is to ensure the system is free of leaks. This is crucial because leaks can lead to significant safety hazards, environmental damage, and financial loss. By identifying and addressing any potential leaks, integrity testing helps maintain the reliability and safety of the fuel system, ensuring that fuel is contained effectively and does not pose a risk to personnel, equipment, or the environment. Maintaining fuel system integrity is also vital for operational readiness, as it guarantees that the fuel system can function without disruptions caused by leaks or contamination.
