Q'We only use Hi-Test on Rangerf,-AN Parnell Herbert. V-4 DIVISION Someone has to fill all of Ranger's aircraft with fuel, as well as maintain and operate the .IP-5 fjet fuelj and AVXCAS faviation gas used in prop planesj systems. On Ranger that someone is V-4 Division, sometimes called the Aviation Fuels Division. Not only is their work necessary and instrumental to a carrier,s mission, it is also one of the most dangerous jobs on the ship due to the highly volatile nature of the gasolines. In filling the aircraft, it is extremely important that the proper fuel load be used, for the catapult must be properly set to account for the weight of the fuel. The fuel systems include storage tanks for 1.6 million gallons of jet fuel, 24-6 thousand gallons of gasoline, 11.8 thousand gallons of lube oil and 3.8 thousand gallons of cleaning solvent. X
