Visually check all hoses for leaks and wet spots. <br />Verify that sufficient volume (ullage) is available in the storage tank or truck. <br />Lock in the closed position all drainage valves of the secondary containment <br />structure. <br />Secure the tank vehicle with wheel chocks and interlocks. <br />Ensure that the vehicle's parking brakes are set. <br />Verify proper alignment of valves and proper functioning of the pumping <br />system. <br />If filling a tank truck, inspect the lowermost drain and all outlets. <br />Establish adequate bonding/grounding prior to connecting to the fuel transfer <br />point. <br />Turn off cell phone. <br />Driver must stay with the vehicle at all times during loading/unloading <br />activities. <br />Periodically inspect all systems, hoses and connections. <br />When loading, keep internal and external valves on the receiving tank open <br />along with the pressure relief valves. <br />When making a connection, shut off the vehicle engine. When transferring <br />Class 3 materials, shut off the vehicle engine unless it is used to operate a <br />pump. <br />Maintain communication with the pumping and receiving stations. <br />Monitor the liquid level in the receiving tank to prevent overflow. <br />Monitor flow meters to determine rate of flow. <br />When topping off the tank, reduce flow rate to prevent overflow. <br />Make sure the transfer operation is completed. <br />Close all tank and loading valves before disconnecting. <br />Securely close all vehicles internal, external, and dome cover valves before <br />disconnecting. <br />Secure all hatches. <br />Disconnect grounding/bonding wires. <br />Make sure the hoses are drained to remove the remaining oil before moving <br />them away from the connection. Use a drip pan. <br />Cap the end of the hose and other connecting devices before moving them <br />to prevent uncontrolled leakage. <br />Remove wheel chocks and interlocks. <br />Inspect the lowermost drain and all outlets on tank truck prior to departure. If <br />necessary, tighten, adjust, or replace caps, valves, or other equipment to <br />prevent oil leaking while in transit. <br />Prior to <br />loading/ <br />unloading <br />During loading/ <br />unloading <br />After loading/ <br />unloading <br />Table 3-3: Fuel Transfer Procedures <br />Stage Tasks <br />-22- <br />University of the Pacific Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan <br />Stockton, California Aboveground Fuel Storage Tanks <br />Version 1.0,11/28/2016
