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

, FDNY COF P-98 Exam Questions And
Answers
12.- Oil Circulation in the System
Oil storage tank -
correct answer 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
13.- Oil Circulation in the System
A Suction pump -
correct 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.
14.- Oil Circulation in the System
The Suction Line -
correct answer 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
