Dangerous Goods Declaration - Fuel system flush/purge
Hi
Looking into air freight from Sydney to USA, and one shipper has said that the fuels system needs to be flushed and purged with 'White Spirit' (turpentine)
and also a letter stating to this effect needs to be written and provided to the airline. (also battery disconnected etc)
I also read another caveat that the airline has stated:
"If there is any odour of fuel at all then will will refuse the cargo"
has anyone done this before to get around the dangerous goods certification and get a cheaper freight cost?
Cheers,
mitch
