Essential safety procedures for diesel tank operations to ensure workplace safety, environmental protection, and equipment integrity.
1 Pre-Operation Inspection and Preparation
- Thoroughly inspect the tank's condition before operation
- Check for any damage, deformation, or other abnormalities
- Confirm that sealing components are free from aging or leakage
- Ensure connecting pipes and valves are tightly secured
- Check the surrounding environment for safety hazards
- Ensure operating area is away from fire and heat sources
- Verify good ventilation in the operating area
- Operators must wear compliant protective equipment
- Avoid direct contact with diesel fuel
- Familiarize with equipment operating procedures in advance
- Understand emergency response methods
- Avoid blind operation without proper training
2 Core On-Site Operating Procedures
- Place the tank stably on a firm, level surface
- Prevent tipping or overturning during operations
- Control diesel fuel flow rate during transfer
- Avoid rapid filling or unloading to prevent static electricity
- Ensure the tank is properly grounded
- Eliminate static electricity hazards completely
- Prohibit smoking and using open flames in the area
- Do not use unauthorized electrical equipment
- Avoid unauthorized disassembly of tank components
- Do not alter the equipment structure without authorization
- Ensure tight sealing when moving the tank
- Prevent leakage caused by bumps or collisions
3 Post-Operation Cleanup Procedures
- Promptly close all valves after operation completion
- Ensure proper sealing of all connections
- Drain residual diesel fuel from pipelines
- Prevent corrosion or leakage risks from prolonged storage
- Clean the tank surface and operating area
- Remove oil stains and debris thoroughly
- Maintain a clean and organized worksite
- Transfer tank to designated storage area
- Store away from densely populated areas
- Keep storage area away from ignition sources
- Take measures to prevent moisture and sun exposure
- Protect tanks from collisions during storage
- Record all operation details accurately
- Report any equipment malfunctions immediately
- Suspend operation if safety concerns are identified
4 Protective Measures for Special Scenarios
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in high temperatures
- Regularly check tank's heat resistance capabilities
- Prevent diesel expansion and abnormal pressure buildup
- Take precautions against freezing in low temperatures
- Prevent pipeline blockage in cold conditions
- Ensure uninterrupted operation in all weather
- Never use open flames to directly heat the tank
- Take wind and rain protection measures outdoors
- Suspend operations during severe weather conditions
- Secure tank properly during transportation
- Prevent friction and collisions with other objects
- Equip with emergency leak handling tools
- Ensure timely response to emergency situations
