3.
Set out two fire extinguishers – one in containment pool once
setup and one off to the side but still within the worksite area
4.
Use of a Dixon Spill Containment Pool and Emergency Spill Kit
is advised. Set up the portable containment pool and position
the spill kit within easy reach but out of the way so as not to be
a trip hazard. See pool and spill kit below:

5.
Setup FS1 as close to tank access as possible. Place the FS1
in the center of the containment pool.
6.
Take a bottom sample of fuel at each
available access point using a Dixon
Pumps Fuel Sampler. It is important to
take samples from several locations,
as contaminants will migrate to the
lowest part of the tank. Save the
samples for photographic record once
job is complete.
7.
Place suction pipe at the lowest access point in the tank. This
is determined by identifying the access point in the tank that has
the highest level of contamination on the bottom.
8.
Connect suction hose to suction pipe and the intake coupling on
the FS1.
9.
Place return pipe into your supplied PCW (petroleum contact
water) or contaminant storage container and connect the
discharge hose to both the FS1 and the return pipe. The
amount of contamination measured while sampling will
determine the amount of storage required. Make sure you have
enough prior to beginning.
10.
When operating in a hazardous environment using an
EXPLOSION-PROOF model, attach grounding wires from the
fuel tank or drop tube to the FS1. Attach a second grounding
wire from the FS1 to a suitable ground such as a lightning
ground near a building. Use a grounding rod if there is not a
suitable ground nearby. Hammer into ground and attach
second grounding cable to rod prior to use. In dry conditions,
wet the ground touching the rod for better conductivity.
