hen it comes to preventing oil and fuel fires in combat vehicles, crewmen with
the cleanest vehicles do the best job.
They know the importance of keeping their vehicles clean. They understand
that dirt, grease, oil and debris not only provide fuel for a fire, but can also cover
up serious problems.
That’s why they keep a good supply of clean rags handy. As they do their
before-operation PMCS, they take the time to clean up oily messes that can hide
damage to hoses and fluid lines.
They’re the ones who spot leaks and get them fixed before they create a fire that
can wipe out a vehicle—and its crew.
How about you? Is cleanliness important to you or is your vehicle just a fire
waiting for a match to light it?
I’m
clean
and leak-
free!
with all
this dirt and
oil, he’ll
never
notice
my
leaky
fuel line!
