1. Proper Filler Cap Tightening Protocol
- Open the cap slowly to relieve internal pressure; always fill using a nozzle, not a hard connection.
- After filling, hand‑tighten the cap and turn an additional quarter turn to minimize leakage.
- Ensure the filler cap is securely closed and tightened whenever the tank is prepared for transport.
2. Routine Visual Inspection of Connections
- Follow a daily checklist to verify the condition of all tank components.
- Systematically inspect all pipes, tubes, valves, and couplers for signs of wear.
- Examine hoses, nozzles, and all connection points for any potential leaks.
- Identify bent, broken, or damaged components immediately to prevent seal failures.
3. Secure Line Disconnection & Bund Maintenance
- Disconnect and securely stow all external lines and hoses before transport.
- Turn off the pump and disconnect power lines to ensure safety.
- Regularly check the interstice area (bund) to keep it clean and free of debris or spilled fuel.
4. Immediate Repair & Component Replacement
- If leaks or compromised seals are found, take immediate action to restore integrity.
- Stop leaks and repair problems promptly without delay.
- Replace broken or worn components using genuine replacement parts or exact equivalents.
- Following these guidelines ensures leak‑proof performance and operational safety.
