1.
Connect the tanker-truck or trucks to the tanker-truck receipt manifold.
2.
Open the appropriate valve or valves such as V TJ and valves V 5TJ, V 1 TI, and VI2TJ. (Note: PITJ is used in
this outloading operation.)
3.
Proceed with the routing, valve opening, and pump operation as outlined under -jo or 'k", depending on what tank
content is being outloaded, and pump into the tanker truck(s).
4.
Watch the loading carefully and as soon as full, close valve V1TJ (or other ball valves in service).
5.
Promptly shut down the pump that is in service as soon as loading is complete.
6.
Close all other valves opened in the transfer.
WARNING
PRESSURIZED SYSTEM
Do not break any flanges or open any couplings until the system is depressurized at that location. Injury and fuel spills
can result. Refer to paras. 41 7 thru 4-17. 5 for depressurizing procedures.
WARNING
CAP OPEN FITTINGS OR PIPE
Cap off open fittings or pipe in return manifold to minimize the risk of unintended flow from another fuel unit to the return
manifold causing a spill.
WARNING
TRUCK OVERFILL
Overfilling a tanker-truck will result in a spill and the dangers connected with it. Control flow to the tanker-truck by the
valving near the truck, preferably the ball valve because of its rapid dosing feature.
WARNING
COMMUNICATIONS
Rapid and reliable communications between the tanker-truck loading operation point and the pump operator, who may be
far removed, is required.
WARNING
DISCONNECT TANKER-TRUCK
Be sure to disconnect tanker-trucks before they are allowed to move.
