DIESEL FUEL FILL 1.Secure Fireboat 2 to fueling dock, fueling vessel, or vessel to receive fuel (Fig ). 2.Develop communications as needed, including the proper display of the Bravo flag (Fig ). 3.Properly place all spill safety equipment (Figs , - 7, -8, -9, -10, -22, -23, -24, and -25). 4.Place members as required for safety and spill protection (Figs and -16). 5.Connect lines for transfer (Figs , -8, -9, and -10). 6. Arrange valves as required (Figs , -12, and -13). 7. Once properly connected, begin taking on fuel at no more than 85 gpm (Fig , -13, and -14). 8. Monitor forward tank vent whistle (Figs , -16, and -20). 9. Monitor forward tank sight gauge (Figs and -21). 10. Record gallons and date in the fuel log and Pilot House journal. Page December 2005

Diesel Fuel Fill CAUTION SPILL DANGER: Maintain fuel flow rate at 85 GPM or less to avoid introducing trapped air bubbles into the vent system Figure Fuel flow meter Page December 2005

Diesel Fuel Fill Place necessary spill prevention tools at all vents and connections Place safety watches at all vents and connections Vent whistle (stops when forward fuel storage tank is nearly full) Figure Figure Page December 2005

Diesel Fuel Fill Monitor the fuel level at the forward fuel storage tank sight gauge 30 mhz wireless radios provide good communications to the deck Each band on gauge will represent 1000 gallons Figure Page December 2005

Diesel Fuel Fill CAUTION Turn radar units “OFF” or to “STANDBY” during fueling operations. CAUTION DO NOT cross fuel lines and docking lines when securing Fireboat 2 to the fuel dock, fueling vessel, or vessel to receive fuel. Figure Figure Page December 2005

Diesel Fuel Fill CAUTION When vent whistle stops sounding, the fuel tank is nearly full; slow the rate of delivery and monitor the forward fuel tank sight gauge in the VSP Room SIGHT GAUGE VSP ROOM VENT WHISTLE Figure Figure Page December 2005
