4-20.3  Engine Crankcases install  block  heaters  in  engine  crankcases.    These  can  be  operated  off  the  floodlight  set  generators.    If  block  heaters cannot be utilized, run the engines routinely. 4-20.4 Hoselines if extremely cold, the hoselines may become stiff and more brittle.  Special care should be taken not to bend too sharply or drive over them in this condition. 4-20.5  To  help  prevent  snow  accumulations  in  operating  areas  and  on  equipment  under  blowing  snow  conditions,  it  is recommended that snow fences be erected at appropriate locations. 4-20.6 Gasket material will be stiffer and more brittle.  Take care not to install gaskets that have been damaged on this account. 4-20.7 When not in use, it will be of help to spread tarpolines over the equipment to keep snow off.  The tarps must be removed before commencing operations. 4-20.8 Remove snow accumulations in areas of operation and vehicle traffic. 4-20.9 Spread sand and salt in icy areas, particularly around operating equipment and in the fuel dispensing areas. 4-20.10 if operations in extreme cold are necessary, provide heated enclosures where personnel can get warm before returning  to  the  job.    Obviously,  key  operating  positions  cannot  be  vacated  without  prior  relief  by  another  qualified person. 4-21  Operations in Extreme Heat The following precautions should be taken under conditions of extreme heat. 4-21.1 Fuels, particularly motor gasoline, will vaporize more readily.  This can result in more venting at the tank vents and thus special care must be taken to avoid vent fires. 4-21.2  In  extreme  heat,  fuels  that  are  in  storage  for  a  long  time  will  gas  off  a  lot  of  vapor  and  possibly  go  off specification.  The gravity should be checked before dispensing for use. 4-21.3  Engine  operating  temperatures  must  be  watched  closely.    Make  sure  cooling  systems  are  clean  and  operating efficiently. 4-21.4 When appropriate, provide sun shelters for personnel. 4-22  Operations in Blowing Sand and Dust The following precautions should be taken under conditions of blowing sand or dust. 4-22.1 Regularly remove accumulations of sand and dust from equipment and within tank berms. 4-48
