Inspect hose outer cover and reinforcementCheck couplings, seals, and swivel jointsTest hose reels, rewind, and locking devicesNozzle condition, bonding, and deadman testsMeter accuracy checks and seal verificationLesson 3Documentation an paperwork: load manifests, fuel quality certificates, delivery notes, maintenance logs, authorization formsDescribes required operational documents fi each fuelin task, includin load manifests, fuel quality certificates, delivery notes, maintenance records, an authorization forms, an how fi review, complete, an securely store dem.
Verify load manifests and uplift calculationsCheck fuel quality certificates and batch dataComplete delivery notes and customer sign-offUpdate maintenance and defect log entriesControl, filing, and retention of recordsLesson 4Human factors an time-pressure mitigation: fatigue checks, communication wid dispatcher, prioritization under busy turnaroundAddresses human factors affectin pre-operations checks, includin fatigue, time pressure, communication wid dispatch, an task prioritization, fi reduce errors durin busy turnarounds an maintain safety margins.
Recognizing fatigue and reduced vigilanceBriefing with dispatcher on workloadPrioritizing critical safety checks firstUse of cross-checks and peer verificationStrategies to resist unsafe time pressureLesson 5Onboard safety equipment: portable an fixed fire extinguishers, spill kits, PPE (cold-weather gear, gloves, eye protection), signagesOutlines required onboard safety equipment fi refuelers, includin fire extinguishers, spill kits, PPE, an safety signages, an explains inspection, serviceability checks, an correct placement fi rapid access durin emergencies.
Inspect portable fire extinguishers and sealsCheck fixed fire systems and activation pointsVerify spill kit contents and absorbent stocksConfirm PPE availability and correct sizingSafety signage, labels, and placard conditionLesson 6Daily vehicle inspection checklist: engine, brakes, lights, tires, cabin controls, fuel pump operationDetails di structured daily inspection a refueler vehicles, focusin pon engine, brakes, lights, tires, cabin controls, an fuel pump operation fi ensure roadworthiness an safe ramp performance before enterin di movement area.
Engine oil, coolant, and visible leak checksBrake, steering, and parking brake functionLights, beacons, and audible warning devicesTire condition, inflation, and wheel securityCabin controls, mirrors, and visibility checksLesson 7Inspection an isolation a returned refueler: steps fi verify truck after returnin from another stand before next assignmentDescribes how fi inspect an, if needed, isolate a refueler returnin from another stand, verifyin cleanliness, fuel system status, documentation, an safety equipment before assignin di vehicle to di next operation.
Confirm previous fueling task completionCheck for leaks, spills, or fuel odorsVerify filter status and water drain recordsReview trip log and any defect reportsIsolation procedures if issues are detectedLesson 8Filtration an water-separation systems pon truck: bowl/selector valves, coalescers, filter elements, differential pressure indicatorsExplains filtration an water-separation components pon refueler trucks, includin bowls, selector valves, coalescers, filter elements, an differential pressure indicators, an how fi inspect dem fi maintain fuel cleanliness an prevent contamination.
Identify filter vessels and water separator layoutInspect sight bowls and drain water correctlyCheck selector valves for correct positionAssess coalescer and filter element conditionInterpret and record differential pressure readingsLesson 9Pre-shift verification routines an timin: frequency a checks (start a shift, between stands), checklists an sign-off practicesCovers structured pre-shift an in-shift verification routines, includin timin a checks, use a standardized checklists, documentation, an sign-off practices fi ensure accountability an consistent safety performance.
Start-of-shift full vehicle and system checkBetween-stand quick turnaround inspectionsUse of standardized checklists and formatsSupervisor review and electronic sign-offHandling defects found during routine checksLesson 10Groundin an bondin equipment: cable condition, clamps, testin procedures an continuity checksExplains groundin an bondin principles fi refuelers, focusin pon cable integrity, clamp condition, an continuity testin, an describes inspection routines dat prevent static discharge durin fuelin operations pon di ramp.
