Narrative:
Fueling company has two very old fuel trucks that produce foul smoke. Due to the consistence of the trade winds the smoke blows directly into the cargo pits and work areas of the engine and landing gear. Smoke is also is ingested into the cabin; through the packs and pits; as the recirc fan intakes are located in the pit. This poses a health threat to all ground workers in the area as well as our customers. Our employees are feeling headaches; having trouble breathing; and feeling faint.
