Refueling

  • Refuelling must be done.
  • Refuelling locations should be well clear of other structures, and work areas.
  • The engine must be stopped.
  • No source of ignition within 3m or 10 ft.
  • Bonding shall be maintained between the tank & nozzle or spout while refuelling.
  • Extreme care – to avoid spills or overfilling.
    – Spilled fuel – wiped up or flushed away before starting the engine.
  • Do not fill the tank to the top.
    Fuel expands as the temperature rises,
    allowing room for pressure build-up.
