What purposes?
Is used in Stationary Equipment
Two purposes:
a) Fuel Emergency Generators
K
b) Fuel Equipment used to heat the building

2.- What COF is required to supervise the Fuel-oil transfer in the building from one floor to
another?
holder
LO
- P-98 and maintain all qualifications and comply w/ requirements applicable to such certificate
- The P-98 COF is premise-related
YC
3.- The use of the word should refers to:
Policies, procedures and/or best practices recommended by the FDNY, and may not be a
D
codified requirement.
U
4.- The use of the word shall refers to:
ST
Requirement of the Fire Code or the FDNY
5.- Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation
Shall be under the GENERAL SUPERVISION of P-98:
A stationary fuel-oil storage tank, related piping, that is installed on the lowest floor of the
building and transfer fuel-oil through piping to another stationary fuel-oil storage tank, or fuel
burning equipment, installed above such floor
,7.- Maintenance Requirements
Fuel-oil storage tanks and piping shall be inspected for any evidence of leaks
Weekly
K
6.- Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation Shall be under the PERSONAL
SUPERVISION of P-98 COF
C
Periodic Inspection and Testing of tanks and piping
LO
8.- Maintenance Requirements
Fuel-oil storage tanks shall have their float switches tested to ensure that they are in good
YC
working order at least
Weekly
D
9.- Licences & Certificates
No oil burning equipment may operated until
U
a) Certificate of Compliance has been issued by NYCDOB
ST
b) Air pollution control code requirements NYCDEP
c) Permit for the Storage & use of fuel-oil issued by FDNY
10.- Licences & Certificates
Pursuant to the New NYC Fire Code & Mechanical Codes stated that
, The COF is required for all existing and new buildings where fuel is being transported from the
lowest levels to tanks or equipment on upper floors
11.- Oil Circulation in the System
Diagram #1
The process of oil circulation from the tank at the lowest floor of a building to the burner on the
K
floor above such floor through the pump.
C
12.- Oil Circulation in the System
LO
Oil storage tank
Provides the supply of oil for combustion in the oil burner. It is inside a dike. In case of a leak the
diked area will contain the oil. In its normal condition, #2 fuel-oil is thin and light and is easily
pumped through the circulation system
YC
13.- Oil Circulation in the System
A Suction pump
Circulates the oil throughout the system. Dirt and sediment are present in the fuel-oil coming
D
from the oil storage tank. The oil filter removes most of these contaminants from the oil before
the oil reaches the burner's strainer.
U
14.- Oil Circulation in the System
ST
The Suction Line
Has to be 6 inches from the bottom of the tank for sediments not to be absorbed. The vacuum
gauge is a device that measures pressure below atmospheric pressure. Excessive vacuum
readings indicate that there is an obstruction in the suction line (such as dirty oil strainer). When
this occurs the flow of oil can be stopped by closing the shut-off valve. This permits the operator
to clean the filter/strainer or to perform other maintenance
