COF P 98 SUPERVISE FUEL OIL TRANSFER
IN BUILDING ACTUAL TEST PAPER
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
●● 2.- What *COF is required* to supervise the *Fuel-oil transfer in the
building from one floor to another?*
Answer: *P-98 and maintain all qualifications and comply w/
requirements applicable to such certificate holder*
*The P-98 COF is premise-related*
●● 3.- The use of the word *should* refers to:
Answer: *Polices, procedures and / or best practices recommended by
the FDNY*
●● 4.- The use of the word *shall* refers to:
Answer: *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:
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*
●● 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 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*
