2-26. OPERATION OF FUEL TANK TRUCK (Contd)

WARNING

• Keep at least 25 ft (7.6 m) between fuel tank vehicles during

fueling operations to avoid congestion. Failure to do so may result

in injury or death to personnel.

• Fuel tank sections should only be top loaded when bottom loading

is not possible. Top loading causes static electricity, which may

cause fire, resulting in injury or death to personnel.

when applicable. Get rid of this fuel in the approved area after
