1. DIESEL FUEL FILL 1.Secure Fireboat 2 to fueling dock, fueling vessel, or vessel to receive fuel (Fig. 710-19). 2.Develop communications as needed, including the proper display of the Bravo flag (Fig. 710-5). 3.Properly place all spill safety equipment (Figs. 710-6, - 7, -8, -9, -10, -22, -23, -24, and -25). 4.Place members as required for safety and spill protection (Figs. 710-15 and -16). 5.Connect lines for transfer (Figs. 710-6, -8, -9, and -10). 6. Arrange valves as required (Figs. 710-11, -12, and -13). 7. Once properly connected, begin taking on fuel at no more than 85 gpm (Fig. 710-12, -13, and -14). 8. Monitor forward tank vent whistle (Figs. 710-7, -16, and -20). 9. Monitor forward tank sight gauge (Figs. 710-17 and -21). 10. Record gallons and date in the fuel log and Pilot House journal.

7. Page 710.7 December 2005 CAUTION CAUTION The Bravo flag, signifying “Dangerous Cargo”, is required during fuel transfer. The Bravo flag should be flown off the staff mounted on the mast of Fireboat 2 (Fig. 710-5) When not in use, the Bravo flag is stored in the Equipment Room above the work bench. Figure 710-5

10. Diesel Fuel Fill Close storage tank isolation valves (2) when not transferring fuel Open storage tank isolation valves (2) to take on fuel To fill day tanks open FOT3 After filling day tanks, open FOT4 to press DB tank full Close both FOT3 and FOT4 when fuel transfer is complete Figure 710-11 Figure 710-12 FOT3 N/C DB TK MAIN ISO FOT4 N/C FWD TK MAIN ISO Page 710.10 December 2005

12. 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 710-14 Fuel flow meter Page 710.12 December 2005

13. 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 710-15 Figure 710-16 Page 710.13 December 2005

14. 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 710-17 Page 710.14 December 2005

15. 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 710-18 Figure 710-19 Page 710.15 December 2005

16. 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 710-20 Figure 710-21 Page 710.16 December 2005
