This is a Special Packaging Instruction (SPI) document issued by Oklahoma U.S. Air Force City for fuel devices with residual fuel. The SPI, numbered F WF-117-2012 with Code ID 98748, establishes packaging and marking requirements for fuel devices that may contain residual fuel in a branded, capped, and plugged condition. The document specifies that items must be preserved using IAW MIL-STD-2073 methods, with serviceable items using Method 41 and unserviceable items also using Method 41. Cleaning and drying shall follow IAW MIL-STD-2073, and marking must comply with IAW MIL-STD-129. The packaging shall follow IAW container specifications as referenced in the Special Packaging Instructions Retrieval & Exchange System (SPIRES), supplemented by the requirements outlined in this SPI.

The item nomenclature includes a container identification, barrier bag, and absorbent material, with material specifications referencing MIL-PRF-131 Class 1 for the barrier bag and A-A-59759 Type II or equivalent for absorbent material. The document specifies two packing levels (Level A and Level B) with container specifications per IAW SPIRES. Critical safety requirements mandate that items containing residual fuel must be packed in leak-proof outer containers, marked and documented as UN3363 dangerous goods in apparatus class 9, with packaging and handling performed by authorized hazardous material personnel. The SPI is controlled by 406 SCMS at GULAA-Tinker AFB and requires compliance with applicable hazardous material regulations.
