olor can be critical when it comes to fuel cans. You don’t want to use the
wrong fuel. Just ask anyone who used MOGAS in a heater when kerosene was
called for. You could damage your equipment—or yourself.
Make what’s in the fuel can clear for all to see. Color-code the caps. Some
folks use yellow for diesel and red for MOGAS. Some units also color code caps
on the equipment for easy match-up. But get your CO’s approval before you get
out the paint brush.
You can also use a stencil to label DIESEL in black and MOGAS in white on
the can.
Be sure to camouflage the cans when they’re out in the open.
