Military Petroleum Pipeline Systems (FM 5-482)

This manual, "Military Petroleum Pipeline Systems (FM 5-482)," provides the fundamentals of planning and construction of military petroleum pipelines. The manual also provided detailed information for construction personnel on the installation and repair of military pipeline systems. It delineates unit responsibilities, whenever possible, due to the large number of unites with specialized skills required to establish a bulk-fuel distribution system. This manual can be used by any planner at company level and above. However, it was developed primarily for engineer commanders and staff to design petroleum pipeline distribution systems. Use of this manual is also applicable to quartermaster commanders and staff for the operation of these bulk Class III systems.
