FOREWORD
The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD (AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.)
Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the most stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable.
UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria Change Request. The form is also accessible from the Internet sites listed below.
UFC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following source:
• Whole Building Design Guide website https://dod.wbdg.org/.
Hard copies of UFC printed from electronic media should be checked against the current electronic version prior to use to ensure that they are current.
Refer to UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements, for implementation of new issuances on projects.

REVISION SUMMARY SHEET
Document: UFC 3-460-01, Design: Petroleum Fuel Facilities
Superseding: UFC 3-460-01, dated 16 July 2019, Change 2, dated 12 January 2022
Description: Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-460-01 contains general criteria and standard procedures for the design and construction of military land-based facilities which receive, store, distribute, or dispense liquid petroleum fuels. It is also applicable to liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) facilities.
These criteria are applicable to all branches of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
Reasons for Document: This update to UFC 3-460-01 incorporates changes to the design requirements for fuel facilities. These changes are based on lessons learned from the previous guidelines, new technologies, updated requirements by the services for fuel handling and quality, new regulations, coordinate with unified facilities guide specifications (UFGS), and other reference documents. Incorporation of these changes will decrease the life-cycle costs by ensuring the integrity of the fueling systems during operations and decreasing maintenance requirements.
Impact: The changes to this UFC will impact the design and cost of fuel facilities.
However, the following benefits should be realized.
• Ensure that the fuel quality issued to the DoD aircraft, trucks, ships, and vehicles is such that no damage is realized to DoD assets.
• By ensuring that all fuel facilities will be standardized throughout the tri-services.
• Decrease the amount of maintenance and repair required on the fuel facility system.
• Exceptions for austere locations can be approved by Service Headquarters SME to avoid non-beneficial costs.
Unification Issues:
There are a few items that are either Navy, Air Force or Army specific. The list below summarizes these items, along with the justification for it to be Service Specific:
• The Navy requires the use of a fusible link butterfly valve at the inlet to truck fillstand and on supply and return risers at aircraft direct fueling stations. The Navy’s position for fusible link valves is primarily because JP-5, which is primarily used by the Navy, does not have the static dissipater additive (SDA), so it is more likely to spark during transport thru pipelines and equipment than any other fuel. (Refer to paragraph 2-
3.14.3). The fusible link will shut if there is a fire or other high-temperature event. Also, the Navy’s aircraft direct fueling stations are designed to hot refuel aircraft, so the fusible link will also protect the aircraft if there is a high-temperature event between the tank and the fusible link.
• The Air Force allows the use of internally coated filter-separators and piping from the filter-separators to the skin of the aircraft. Since it is Air Force policy to always filter the fuel at the skin of the aircraft, any paint and carbon particles in the fuel will be filtered before entering the aircraft.
The Navy does not filter at the skin of the aircraft, therefore the filter-separator must be either aluminum or stainless steel, and the piping from the filter-separator to the aircraft is to be stainless steel. In addition, for Navy systems, the return line is also to be stainless steel if there is any possibility for recirculating the fuel without going thru two filtrations.
• This UFC references Service-Specific documents, which the tri-service fuel community does not oversee. Also, each service has its own requirements for fuel quality and operations.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1-1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE.
This Unified Facilities Criteria, UFC 3-460-01, contains general criteria and standard procedures for the design and construction of military land-based facilities which receive, store, distribute, or dispense liquid fuels. It is also applicable to the handling of liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) and compressed natural gas (CNG). It provides guidance on the rehabilitation, deactivation, or closure of fueling facilities. Support facilities are also included. Facility Plate 001 provides assistance in identifying UFC chapter numbers for specific fueling components.
These criteria, except Chapters 12, 13, and 14 of this UFC, are intended for new construction only and do not apply retroactively to facilities existing at the time this UFC was issued. However, these criteria, including Chapters 12, 13, and 14, are applicable when modernizing or expanding existing facilities if the improvements can be justified in terms of obsolescence, expanded operational requirements, safety, environmental compliance, or excessive maintenance costs.
1-2 APPLICABILITY.
The guidance contained in this UFC is intended for use by facility planners, engineers, and architects for individual project planning and for preparing engineering and construction documentation for all real property facilities used for storing, distributing, and dispensing fuels for reciprocating and jet engine aircraft, automotive fuels, lubricating oils, and alternate fuels. In addition, it is intended for use by operations and maintenance personnel as a guidance document for facility design, modifications, and improvements.
1-3 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) FUELS DISCIPLINE WORKING
GROUP (FDWG).
This UFC was updated by the DoD Fuels Discipline Working Group (FDWG). The DoD FDWG consists of recognized POL experts, primarily from the engineering community, to establish the criteria for the DoD community on ways to provide safe, operationally effective, and economic DoD fuel facilities systems to meet the mission requirements.
The FDWG will examine, develop, recommend, and provide design features for the standardization of facilities, system components, and equipment, and procedures used in fuel handling systems for storage, distribution, maintenance and dispensing of aircraft, marine, and ground fuels. The FDWG will evaluate facility component parts on DoD installations and will serve as a pool of expertise to assist in resolving systemic fuel handling facility problems. FDWG meetings will also serve as a forum to update members on new system components, and equipment, DoD or service-specific programs, and changes affecting the fuels maintenance, repair and construction community. Refer to Appendix B, Charter for DoD Fuels Discipline Working Group for more information.
1-4 SERVICE HEADQUARTERS SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS (SME).
It is recognized that the policies, obligations, and responsibilities of the military branches may vary on some minor points. Therefore, consult the Subject Matter Expert at the appropriate Service Headquarters for interpretation. For the purposes of interpretation of this UFC, the Subject Matter Expert at the appropriate Service Headquarters is defined as follows:
a. Army – Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, POL Facilities Proponent (CECW-EC)
b. Air Force – The Air Force Fuels Facilities Subject Matter Expert (AFCEC/COSM) or officially designated alternate
c. Navy/Marine Corps – NAVFAC POL Facility Subject Matter Expert
(NAVFAC EXWC, SH25)
1-4.1 Service Provider Subject Matter Expert (SME).
DLA Installation Support for Energy (DLA DS-FEI) is the Executive Agent as defined in
DOD 4140.25M.
1-4.2 Service Control Point (SCP).
For the purposes of interpretation of this UFC, the Service Control Point is defined as follows:
a. Army – Army Petroleum Center
b. Air Force – Air Force Petroleum Office
c. Navy/Marine Corps – Naval Supply Systems Command - Energy
1-5 WAIVERS AND EXEMPTIONS.
For specific interpretations, waivers or exemption, contact the appropriate Service Headquarters Subject Matter Experts (SME) and refer to MIL-STD-3007 for the waiver process.
Recommended UFC language generated from recurring waivers and exemptions will be considered by the DoD Fuel Facilities Engineering Panel with supporting rationale for inclusion on FDWG voting agendas. Recommended changes to this UFC are then reviewed/approved by the voting members of the DoD Fuels Facilities Discipline Working Group, preferably in a normal recurring meeting.
1-6 POLICY.
Design petroleum fuel facilities to meet the operational and management requirements of the Command in which the facility is located, as well as to meet all applicable federal, state, and local regulations concerning environmental, health, safety, and fire protection issues.
1-7 GENERAL BUILDING REQUIREMENTS.
Comply with UFC 1-200-01, DoD Building Code (General Building Requirements). UFC 1- 200-01 provides applicability of model building codes and government unique criteria for typical design disciplines and building systems, as well as for accessibility, antiterrorism, security, high performance and sustainability requirements, and safety. Use this UFC in addition to UFC 1-200-01 and the UFC and government criteria referenced therein.
1-8 CYBERSECURITY.
All control systems (including systems separate from an energy management control system) must be planned, designed, acquired, executed, and maintained in accordance with UFC 4-010-06, and as required by individual Service Implementation Policy.
1-9 REFERENCED STANDARDS.
The execution agency issuing a contract for design and/or construction services will direct the use of standard designs, guide specifications, and/or definitive drawings. In other situations, where these standards are not readily available, contact appropriate Service Headquarters for assistance in obtaining these documents.
1-10 GLOSSARY.
