Checking JP-5 for Water and Sediments

Airman Victor Le, aviation boatswain’s mate (fuel) from Minneapolis, Minn., checks JP-5 for water and sediments in the fuel shop aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. JP-5 is used in Navy aircraft and must be checked regularly to ensure the proper grade is clean. Ronald Reagan is currently underway conducting operations in preparation for an upcoming deployment.
