Heater Fueling Safety

gas-99075_640At Priority Rental, we always err on the side of caution. Our number one priority is safety–for our customers, staff, and anyone else we come across.

Because some of our inventory requires fueling, we want to make sure all of our customers are informed on how to safely get fuel from the pump into our portable heater units. When filling a gas tank there are precautionary measures to take in order to stay safe. For example, static electricity can explosively ignite gasoline vapors that are present during the fueling process. Failure to follow proper safety protocol can result in sever burns, especially in the person doing the fueling.

To avoid static electricity while fueling, follow these safety tips:DF 1500 Heater

1. Always touch a grounded metal object at a safe distance from the pump before you begin fueling. This will dissipate static charge from your body.

2. Never fill a generator’s gas tank directly from the fuel pump. Use an approved portable container to transfer gasoline to the generator’s tank.

3. Never fill the portable gas container while it is sitting inside a vehicle, trailer, trunk, or the bed of a pick-up truck. Always place the container flat on the ground to be filled.

4. Keep the nozzle in contact with the portable container at all times while filling. Never use the nozzle’s lock-open device if it is offered.

After you’ve filled your portable container, make sure the lid is tightly closed. If transporting by vehicle, we recommend keeping the container in your trunk just in case and fuel dripped on the outside. Remember to be just as cautious when filling the heater’s tank!
