In an emergency, closing a diesel transport tank requires every second. Follow the principle of "safety first, operating specifications" and follow the steps below:
Confirm the danger and ensure safety:
When an emergency such as leakage or fire is discovered, immediately evacuate the on-site personnel to a safe area. Dangerous factors such as open flames and static electricity are strictly prohibited. Set up a warning area when necessary.
Close the valve:
Quickly find the tank truck's emergency shut-off valve (usually located at the connection between the tank and the pipeline or in the cab) and close it manually or through a remote control device. In case of high temperature due to fire, use heat-insulating gloves to operate to avoid burns. If the valve is damaged, use spare plugging tools (such as plugging glue and wooden wedges) to temporarily seal the leak.
Cut off the power source:
Immediately turn off the engine and disconnect the vehicle's main power switch to prevent circuit sparks from causing secondary accidents. If the tank truck is in transportation, pull the handbrake and fix the wheels to prevent the car from slipping.
Start emergency equipment:
If conditions permit, start the tank truck's own emergency system (such as a spray cooling device) to reduce the tank temperature and pressure. At the same time, use a fire extinguisher to control the fire, or cover the leaking area with sand or explosion-proof blankets.
Call the police for help:
Call the fire department and emergency management department as soon as possible, clearly state the accident location, diesel reserves in the tank, leakage or fire status and other key information, and wait for professional rescue.
You need to make calm judgments throughout the operation to avoid greater dangers caused by panic and minimize the harm of the accident.
