Check the Tank Body
- Inspect the tank's exterior for abnormalities including corrosion, dents, deformation, or cracks
- Carefully inspect welds for signs of leakage or cracking
- Verify the tank's coating is intact and record any delamination immediately
- Check the tank's overall stability and ensure fixings are secure
- Prevent safety hazards caused by tank displacement
Check the Sealing of Connecting Components
- Inspect connections between pipes and tank for diesel leakage signs
- Check for aging, deformation, or damage to sealing gaskets
- Verify valve operation - no leakage when closed, smooth operation when open
- Ensure no sticking or unusual noise during valve operation
- Check bolt tightness on flange connections to prevent seal failure
Check the Operation of Auxiliary Systems
- Verify level gauge accuracy and check for sticking or reading deviation
- Ensure real-time visibility of fuel level in the tank
- Check pressure relief devices (breather valves) open and close properly
- Ensure tank pressure remains within safe range
- If installed, verify heating/insulation systems operate stably without overheating
Check the Surrounding Environment
- Ensure area around tank is clean with no flammable or explosive items
- Verify adequate ventilation to prevent diesel vapor accumulation
- Check for sharp objects or heavy equipment that could damage the tank
- Inspect rain and snow protection to prevent erosion
- Reduce fire risk by maintaining clear surroundings
Check the Effectiveness of Safety Accessories
- Verify firefighting equipment is within expiration date and undamaged
- Check warning signs are clear and complete for effective warnings
- Test anti-static grounding system functionality
- Ensure grounding circuit is not broken or loose
- Prevent static electricity buildup that could cause safety accidents
Important Note
Regular inspections should be conducted by qualified personnel following all safety procedures. Document findings and address any issues immediately to maintain tank integrity and safety.
