of the Fire Code or the FDNY*
5.- *Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation*
pg. 1
,2|Page
Shall be under the *GENERAL SUPERVISION* of P-98:
......ANSWER......*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*
6.- *Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation*
Shall be under the *PERSONAL SUPERVISION* of P-98 COF shall be?
......ANSWER......*Periodic Inspection and Testing of tanks and piping*
7.- *Maintenance Requirements*
Fuel-oil storage tanks and piping *shall be inspected* for any evidence
of leaks? ......ANSWER......*Weekly*
8.- *Maintenance Requirements*
Fuel-oil storage tanks *shall have their float switches tested* to ensure
that they are in good working order at least? ......ANSWER......*Weekly*
9.- *Licences & Certificates*
*No* oil burning equipment *may operated until?* ......ANSWER......a)
*Certificate of Compliance* has been issued by *NYCDOB*
b) *Air pollution control code* requirements *NYCDEP*
c) *Permit for the Storage & use of fuel-oil* issued by *FDNY*
pg. 2
,3|Page
10.- *Licences & Certificates*
Pursuant to the *New NYC Fire Code & Mechanical Codes* stated that?
......ANSWER......*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 of:
*Oil Circulation from the Tank at the LOWEST floor of a building to the
burner on the floor above such floor through the pump*
......ANSWER......
12.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
What the *oil storage tank* do? ......ANSWER......*Provides the supply
of oil for combustion in the oil burner. It's inside a dike. In case of leak
the diked area will contain the oil.*
13.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
How is the #2 fuel-oil in its *normal condition*? ......ANSWER......*Is
thin and light and is easily pumped through the circulation system.*
14.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*What the suction pump do?* ......ANSWER......*Circulates the oil
throughout the system. Dirt and sediment are present in the fuel-oil
coming from the oil storage tank. The oil filter removes most of these
pg. 3
, 4|Page
contaminants from the oil before the oil reaches the burner's
strainer.*
15.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
How many inches has to be the *SUCTION LINE?* ......ANSWER......*6
inches from the bottom of the tank for sediments not to be absorbed*
16.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
What is the *vacuum gauge?* ......ANSWER......*A device that
measures pressure below atmospheric pressure.*
17.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Excessive vacuum readings* means? ......ANSWER......*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.*
18.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
Closing the *shut-off valve.?* ......ANSWER......Flow of oil *STOP*
*This permits the operator to clean the filter/strainer or to perform
other maintenance*
