Diesel Storage & Handling Guidelines
1. Storage Environment
- Select a well-ventilated location away from sources of fire and heat.
- Avoid direct sunlight to prevent excessive temperatures that could cause safety hazards.
- The site should be flat and solid to prevent the tank from tilting or falling.
- Keep flammable and explosive items and debris clear of the surrounding area.
- Maintain clear passageways for emergency response.
2. Operation
- Strictly follow procedures.
- Before opening the lid, ensure there is no open flame in the vicinity.
- Open the valve slowly to avoid diesel splashing and generating static electricity.
- When refilling diesel, use specialized tools to prevent contaminants from entering.
- Do not overfill - allow sufficient space to accommodate volume expansion caused by temperature fluctuations.
- After operation, check that all connections are tightly sealed to prevent leaks.
3. Daily Maintenance
- Regularly inspect the tank for corrosion, deformation, or cracked welds.
- Check the integrity of valves, pipes, and other fittings.
- Inspect for signs of deterioration of seals.
- Clean the tank surface promptly for stains and rust, maintaining a clean appearance to facilitate detection of abnormalities.
- Regularly drain any accumulated moisture and impurities from the tank to ensure diesel quality is not compromised.
4. Emergency Response
- Appropriate fire-fighting equipment must be available and ensure its effectiveness.
- If a leak occurs, immediately stop use, evacuate the area, and isolate the source of fire.
- Use sand or other materials to absorb the leak, preventing it from entering the sewer or other areas.
- If any abnormality occurs, contact a qualified professional immediately.
- Unauthorized disassembly or repair is strictly prohibited.
Note: Always prioritize safety and follow local regulations for diesel storage and handling.
