2-22. OPERATIONS IN EXTREME HEAT.
Observe the following precautions when operating the AFSSP in extreme heat:
WARNINGS
Do not operate fuel system in area of tents or shelters. Inhalation of petroleum
fumes and vapors will result in serious illness or death. To prevent injury to
personnel and damage to the equipment, do not operate the AFSSP in ambient
temperatures over 95°F (35°C).
a.
Shade fuel system components from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight on fuel hoses and tanks may increase
system fuel pressure resulting in fuel leaks or fuel hose ruptures.
b.
Refer to TM 104320-342-10 for additional precautions to follow when operating the 600 GPM pumps in extreme
heat.
c.

fumes and vapors will result in serious illness or death.
a.
Make sure dust caps or plugs are installed on all open couplings and nozzles.
b.
Do not lay fuel nozzles in dust or sand. Fuel nozzles may pick up dirt and contaminate the fuel system being
serviced.
c.
