Portable Fuel Tank Safety Guidelines
To prevent portable fuel tanks from being damaged by collision, it is necessary to protect them throughout storage, transportation, and use. The specific measures are as follows:
1. Optimize the storage environment
- Choose a dry, flat, and sharp-free ground to store the fuel tanks
- Avoid multi-layer stacking; if stacking is required, separate layers with cushioning materials (wooden boards, foam boards)
- Keep storage area away from construction sites, vehicle routes and other collision-prone areas
- Set up special fixed racks or fences to prevent squeezing/collision
- Maintain clean storage area to avoid tripping hazards
2. Strengthen transportation protection
- Use high-strength straps and ropes to secure tanks in vehicle
- Consider custom adaptive fixed brackets for enhanced stability
- Avoid mixing with hard items (metal tools/equipment)
- If mixing is necessary, use foam boards/sponges for full wrapping/isolation
- Choose stable transportation routes to minimize shaking/collision
3. Standardized use and handling
- Handle with care - no dragging or throwing
- Use wheeled bases when moving tanks
- Place in stable, open locations away from tip-over hazards
- Regularly inspect tank appearance; address minor damage promptly
- Operators should maintain situational awareness to avoid collisions
