Diesel Refueling Safety Guide
Essential procedures for safe and efficient diesel refueling operations
Pre-Refueling Equipment Safeguards
- Wear anti-static work clothes, non-slip gloves, and goggles
- Check firefighting equipment (dry powder extinguishers, fire blankets)
- Ensure equipment is within service life and undamaged
- Verify secure connection of anti-static grounding device
- Eliminate risk of static electricity accumulation
Standard Refueling Procedures
- Verify diesel model and tank compatibility before starting
- Control flow rate and maintain steady flow
- Prevent excessive splashing or bubble formation
- Monitor tank liquid levels closely to avoid overfilling
- Slow flow rate when approaching safe limit
On-Site Environmental Control
- Strictly prohibit open flames, smoking, or electrical equipment operation
- Prevent unauthorized personnel from entering refueling area
- Immediately stop operations during severe weather (thunderstorms, strong winds)
- Power off equipment during weather emergencies
- Maintain good ventilation to prevent diesel vapor accumulation
Post-Refueling Equipment Inspection
- Turn off refueling equipment and properly store hoses
- Ensure all connections are tightly sealed with no leaks
- Inspect tank and connections for signs of leakage
- Address any abnormalities promptly
- Clear area of debris and residual diesel
- Disconnect anti-static grounding device
- Maintain detailed operational records
Critical Safety Reminder
Always prioritize safety over convenience during refueling operations. Proper procedures not only protect personnel but also prevent environmental contamination and equipment damage.
