Answers Latest Updated
Question 1

d) Special care must be taken when
Correct Answer
Extinguishing a fire. The easiest way to reduce the spread of the fire is to shut
off the Emergency Shut Off valve until the flame is stopped. If a fire remains,
the remnants must be approached from an upwind direction. This will prevent
the P-98 Certificate of Fitness holder from being burned by the flames. Never
approach a fire from a downwind direction.

, Question 5
106.- Automatic Pump Alternation
Correct Answer
When pumps are started and stopped remotely, it is desirable to alternate the
operation of the pumps. This way, run time is spread equally between units. In
this case, if one unit should fail to operate, the pump that handles the “last
call” for operation would be available as back-up.
Question 6
6.- Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation Shall be under the PERSONAL
SUPERVISION of P-98 COF
Correct Answer
Periodic Inspection and Testing of tanks and piping
Question 7
105.- Emergency Vents
The normal and emergency vents are
Correct Answer
Required to be combined. For tanks installed above the lowest floor, such
combined vents must be piped, in an approved manner, into the vent or top of
the tank of the lowest floor storage tank that supplies fuel to the tank.
