Gasoline Transportation Safety Guidelines
Essential procedures for safe and compliant transportation of gasoline
1
Comprehensive Preparation
- Conduct thorough inspection of storage tanks before transportation to ensure they are free from damage and leaks
- Verify that sealing devices are intact and valves operate smoothly and are properly closed
- Ensure transport vehicles are qualified and equipped with fire extinguishers, leak-proof tools, and other emergency equipment
- Drivers and escorts must undergo professional training, be familiar with gasoline characteristics, emergency response procedures, and relevant safety regulations
2
Scientific Loading Operations
- Loading sites should be well-ventilated areas away from fire sources and flammable materials
- Control flow rate during loading to avoid violent sloshing and static electricity generation
- Leave sufficient expansion space in tanks to prevent excessive pressure from temperature changes
- After loading, recheck all seals and ensure no leaks at joints
- Securely fix tanks to prevent displacement during transportation
3
Strict Transport Control
- Follow designated routes, avoiding densely populated areas, high-temperature zones, and locations with concentrated fire sources
- Maintain steady speed, avoiding sudden acceleration, braking, and sharp turns
- Escort personnel must continuously monitor tank condition throughout the journey
- Regularly check sealing interfaces and securing devices for integrity
- Monitor weather conditions and seek safe shelter during severe weather
- Strictly prohibit fatigue driving and illegal parking
4
Safe Unloading Process
- Unloading sites must meet safety standards with proper emergency protection facilities
- Ensure clearly visible warning signs are in place
- Connect anti-static devices before unloading
- Confirm receiving equipment is intact and meets storage requirements
- Operate valves slowly during unloading, controlling flow rate to avoid splashing and static electricity
- Close valves promptly after unloading, clean tank residue, and check for leaks
