Rules on what can be in a hangar

Our airport commission has talked about going around and looking in
hangars to crack down on "volatile" liquids being stored within. I
think mainly they're concerned about people keeping fuel for use in
heaters, where there is a more likely ignition source in addition to
the liquids being present.

I would like to propose they consider limits on quantities and safety
rules concerning use rather than an all out ban -- which would largely
go ignored anyway. We have several homebuilders; how can they build
planes without ever using flammables? I burn auto gas and usually
bring out 5-6 5 gallon containers, keeping them in the hangar until
used. If I have 40 gals in my C-172 + 30 gals in cans, that's still a
lot less than a Cherokee six might have in its tanks in the next
hangar. The danger is during fueling and that could be addressed with
rules on grounding, fire extinguisher present, door open to ventilate,
etc.

If anyone has a copy of hangar rules that are reasonable, I would like
to get a copy if possible. I'd also appreciate hearing from any who
will take the time to respond what the rules are at your airport.

Thanks,

- Brett

Rules for self-fueling on the airport are separate from storing
flammables in the hangar. Requires training, approved containers,
bonding, and distance from nearest other buildings and aircraft.

Storing of flammables in our leased hangars at SLIA is strictly
prohibited in the lease.

Fuelling of aircraft inside the hangar is strictly prohibited in the lease.

If you do it, and you start a fire which effects other hangars, guess
who they are going to come after???

Makes it kind of dicey to keep a quart of oil around then, doesn't it? Or do
they define the flash point of the "flammable"? Normally, so many quarts of
engine oil is outside the "flammable" limits, or "flammable" is defined with a
flash point. Hell, TEFLON is flammable if you get the sucker hot enough {;-)

And what about parts washers? No solvent based cleaners allowed? That's why
the lid has a thermal fuse in it.

"No" and "strictly" are generally modified in other clauses of the contract.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-
-Storing of flammables in our leased hangars at SLIA is strictly
-prohibited in the lease.

Oil in quart containers is exempted.

A gallon or two of Stoddard solvent
is ok, provided it is in an rated parts washer with the fusible link.

There may be more "rules" in place depending on the location. Building
codes, IBC and others in use, have several limitations on aircraft hangers
as far as the amount of flammables permissable. This is partly due to the
assumption that the aircraft is already laden with fuel and an external
source of flame could create quite a conflagration. So your airport
commission may not necessarily be the source of the rules, but may be
getting heat (no pun intended) from fire marshalls, insurance companies and
the like. The building official of the area should have the code that is in
use available for purchase or even to look through their copy. NFPA, IFC
and other codes could also be locally adopted.

Hope this helps a little

Here's the rules imposed by the city of Phoenix. You might find this
helpful.

good luck,

It is things like that which pushed me into biting the bullet and owning a
hangar.. Yes, I know not all can do that and I feel privileged... And, I do
have to drive to another town to get to it - though the trip is worthwhile
when I listen to the groaning from renters over issues like rules, having to
add the airport to their insurance reducing their coverage, being told
who/what they can bring on the airport, etc...

The one advantage I hadn't suspected came when the FAA and the State
inspector came onto the field and started going through the county owned
rental hangars taking down tail numbers, peering into cockpits, copying down
information off the internal and exterior stickers, etc... My big door was
open and the cowlings were off, though I had gone to the Pep Boys for an
extra half inch wrench... I never seem ot have enough of those
The guvmint boys eyes lit up like christmas trees and they started to parade
three abreast into my hangar until the airport manager quietly said, 'that's
private property guys and he's a hard nosed sob', whereupon they spun on
their heels and scooted back onto airport property - not that they should
have found anything against regs, but ya never know...

Here's our lease, in its entirety: (It's, IMHO, absurdly complex for a
simple T-hangar lease, but you asked for it!)

T-HANGAR LEASE



This T-HANGAR LEASE ("Lease") entered into by and between the Iowa City
Airport Commission ("Commission") and
("Tenant").



In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:

__________________________________________________ ___________________



Tenant shall promptly notify the Commission in writing of any
change in the information furnished above. Tenant may request permission to
store a substitute aircraft in the Hangar Space by making a written request
to the Commission. In the event Tenant is permitted to store a substitute

Tenant's failure to comply with the altered procedure is a default of this
Lease, and the Commission may proceed to terminate this Lease.

In the event the Hangar or Hangar Space, or the means of access thereto,
shall be damaged by fire or any other cause, the rent payable hereunder
shall not abate provided that the Hangar Space is not rendered untenantable
by such damage. If the Hangar Space is rendered untenantable and Commission
elects to repair the Hangar or Hangar Space, the rent shall abate for the
period during which such repairs are being made, provided the damage was not
caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant, its employees, agent or invitees,
in which case the rent shall not abate. If the Hangar or Hangar Space is
rendered untenantable and Commission elects not to repair the Hangar or
Hangar Space, this Lease shall terminate.

under no circumstances shall the Commission be liable for indirect
consequential, special or exemplary damages, whether in contract or tort
(including strict liability and negligence), such as, but not limited to,
loss of revenue or anticipated profits or other damage related to the
leasing of the Hangar Space under this Lease.

Brett,
Empty containers are more of an explosion hazard than full ones. Then
again full ones can be the source for explosive gases :-(
I keep MEK and 5606 in the hangar, not counting the 80 gallons in the
fuel tanks of the planes.
So where is the real risk? The small amount of MEK or the amount of
Av-gas in the aircraft?
Seems silly.

Our airport commission has talked about going around and looking in
hangars to crack down on "volatile" liquids being stored within. I
think mainly they're concerned about people keeping fuel for use in
heaters, where there is a more likely ignition source in addition to
the liquids being present.

I would like to propose they consider limits on quantities and safety
rules concerning use rather than an all out ban -- which would largely
go ignored anyway. We have several homebuilders; how can they build
planes without ever using flammables? I burn auto gas and usually
bring out 5-6 5 gallon containers, keeping them in the hangar until
used. If I have 40 gals in my C-172 + 30 gals in cans, that's still a
lot less than a Cherokee six might have in its tanks in the next
hangar. The danger is during fueling and that could be addressed with
rules on grounding, fire extinguisher present, door open to ventilate,
etc.

If anyone has a copy of hangar rules that are reasonable, I would like
to get a copy if possible. I'd also appreciate hearing from any who
will take the time to respond what the rules are at your airport.

Thanks,
