Access To Fuel Tanks: Safety Precautions

This document outlines safety precautions for accessing fuel tanks, including documenting all work, using explosion-proof tools and equipment, properly ventilating tanks to drain vapors and prevent static charges, and pumping out any residual fuel in a safe manner. Access doors must be secured open and warning signs posted. Ventilation ducts need to be grounded and coated to avoid static. Venting should occur during all tank maintenance and exhaust should never enter the tank. Explosion-proof pumps with anti-static hoses should be used to remove any puddles.
