FUELING
While employment of a diesel engine results in a greatly reduced fire hazard when
compared to gasoline, it should be remembered that diesel fuel is flammable, and that
the employment of good fueling practices are necessary. The following steps are
provided as guidelines.
13.3.1.
1.
Extinguish all smoking materials and check the fueling area for other sources
of spark or flame. Remove if found.
2.
Shut off the engine, and the electrical generator if one is aboard.
3.
De-energize all electrical equipment.
4.
Close all hatches and ports.
5.
Ensure that a fire extinguisher is readily available.
6.
Ensure that the proper (diesel, not gasoline) hose is about to be used.
