Diesel Tank Safety Guidelines
Best practices for installation, maintenance, and operation of diesel transfer tanks
Strictly Control Equipment Selection and Installation Quality
- Select diesel transfer tanks that meet industry safety standards
- Prioritize high-quality materials with corrosion and impact resistance
- Ensure tank design meets pressure and temperature requirements
- Professional installation following specifications to avoid tilting or instability
- Check fit and tightness of all connections, valves, and seals
Establish a Regular Routine Maintenance Mechanism
- Perform regular comprehensive inspections for corrosion, deformation, and cracks
- Check joint seals for aging and damage
- Ensure valves open and close freely without leaks
- Regularly clean tanks of sediment and impurities
- Replace aging seals, pipes, and vulnerable parts promptly
- Perform regular anti-corrosion treatment to extend equipment life
Standardize Operator Procedures
- Provide systematic safety training to all operators
- Ensure proficiency in equipment use and emergency procedures
- Require assessment before allowing operations
- Strictly prohibit overfilling beyond capacity
- Control flow rate to prevent static electricity generation
- Avoid tools that generate sparks and wear anti-static clothing
Optimize Equipment Environmental Management
- Place tanks in well-ventilated areas away from fire and heat sources
- Avoid direct sunlight or high temperatures that exacerbate fuel evaporation
- Prohibit stacking flammable and explosive items nearby
- Keep operating area clean with adequate safe passageways
- Implement rain, moisture, and corrosion protection measures
- Prevent rainwater from causing rust or accelerating component aging
Important Note
These guidelines should be implemented by qualified personnel following all local regulations and safety standards. Regular audits and updates to safety procedures are recommended to maintain optimal operational safety.
