1. Pre‑operation Environmental and Equipment Confirmation
- Thoroughly inspect the surrounding environment for open flames, static buildup sources, or flammable materials.
- Ensure the tank area is well‑ventilated, the static grounding device is intact, and all refueling vehicles are switched off and secured.
- Check the breather valve, flame arrester, and flange connections of the Gasoline Storage Tank for leaks.
- Confirm the tank body has no abnormal deformation or corrosion before starting the refueling process.
2. Operating Procedures and Personnel Standards
- Only professionally trained personnel may perform refueling operations; unauthorized individuals are strictly prohibited.
- Wear anti‑static clothing and protective equipment throughout the operation; do not use mobile phones or non‑explosion‑proof devices.
- Connect the refueling pipeline tightly to the tank interface, confirm no looseness, then slowly open the valve to avoid impact injection.
- The entire operation must be monitored; personnel must not leave their post or interrupt surveillance without authorization.
3. Fuel Matching and Mixing Prevention
- The received fuel must be of the same type as the existing fuel in the tank; mixing different octane ratings or additives is strictly prohibited.
- For new tanks or those after maintenance, thoroughly clean and test for residues, impurities, or moisture.
- Verify batch information and quality reports during fuel transfer to prevent reduced flammability or equipment corrosion due to incorrect fuel addition.
4. Emergency Preparedness and Post‑Leakage Handling
- Keep sufficient fire extinguishers and absorbent materials on site during refueling; ensure emergency response procedures are clear and executable.
- If a leak occurs, stop operations immediately, close the upstream valve, and use specialized oil‑absorbing pads to control spread — do not flush with water.
- After completion, recheck valve closure status, record refueling volume and time, clean any spill, and maintain a clean, safe tank area.
