Before using the tank truck, the following preparations should be made:
Insert the conductive rod into the ground to make it "grounded". If the grounded place is dry, you can water it to make it wet. You need to ensure it is in good grounding condition. And check the ground chain, so that it can make good contact with the ground, open the oil tanker control box door, carefully check each valve handle, to make sure it is in a closed state. If it is the first time to use the oil pump, and there is no oil in the pump, you need to refuel in advance. You can add 10 liters of oil through the oil inlet and check the lubricating oil picture in the tank truck gearbox. When the amount of oil is insufficient, the gear oil should be added in time.
Besides those preparations, you should also get to learn another 4 vital fire prevention knowledge as well, Hongfeng is willing to provide some useful tips for you during your daily use.
1. When the tanker is cranking or the engine is running, gasoline cannot be added to the carburetor port. Adding gasoline to the carburetor can increase the concentration of the cylinder mixture. Although this is helpful for starting when the oil does not enter the cylinder, it will not help when some failure caused by other reasons. If doing so, it may also cause backfire. In severe cases, both of the people and the vehicle will be burned.
2. When the fuel tanker is maintaining the gasoline filter element, do not burn the gasoline filter element with gasoline. Some people like to use gasoline to burn it for the purpose of cleaning up the impurities on the filter element when it is time to maintain the gasoline filter. However, we should keep in mind that this kind of operation is extremely harmful. If there is a fire, the consequences can not be imagined. At the same time, this operation will also cause great damage to the service life of the filter element.
3. When the vehicle is in the oil depot, it is not allowed to check the battery storage condition by the way of short-circuiting. Because the ventilation in the oil depot is generally not very good, and there are some other equipments such as batteries, tarps, tires, etc. If there is some gasoline missed on the ground, then the sparks generated during the crossfire may ignite the oil molecules in the air.
4. The chain of an oil tanker towing on the ground cannot be wrapped around the beam. Because the fuel transported by the vehicle is not the same as other things, when the chain and another object are rubbing against each other, static electricity may sometimes be generated. This static electricity may ignite the fuel as long as it becomes a flash then cause a fire. Therefore, the oil depot needs to be equipped with a grounded bottom line. The oil tanker should also be equipped with a grounded iron chain to prevent static sparks from being generated in the oil tank. The subway chain must be placed on the ground, and cannot be wound on the frame of the beam, and the towing section cannot be less than 50cm.
