SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE

Our technicians have spent years working on fuel tanks, we know that aircraft fuel leaks can emanate from many sources.

But we also know where to look on most aircraft types as many of them have recurrent fuel leaks in critical areas, for example A320 and B767 dry bays, B737 stringers 5 & 9, and BAe146 rib 2.

This knowledge and our specialist repair techniques allow us to get quickly to the source of the problem, to rectify leaks in common areas, to diagnose transfer, migration and FQIS problems, and then replace any components as required.

WE SAVE YOU TIME

If an aircraft fuel system repair job needs doing, it needs to be right first time.

We are often called out by companies who have spent many hours - even days - trying to cure leaks by applying new sealant to areas where they believe the leak entry point to be. In practice however, the source of a leak can often be up to a meter away from where it appears.

With the use of specialist techniques, test equipment and experience DART AOG can always pinpoint the leak source and carry out a quick and successful first time fix.

By calling in DART AOG at the first sign of any fuel leak, you'll avoid many wasted hours, lost revenue and save money.

WE USE THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY

DART AOG teams are fully equipped to work in any location and conditions, inside a hangar or outside on the line. In addition, we have the latest tank entry equipment that enables our teams to ventilate the fuel tank fast, allowing quick tank entry and repair of the fuel leak at source.

Our toolkits are designed to enable our teams to work in the most difficult conditions on the line, so that even in extreme temperatures we can carry out repairs quickly and efficiently.
