|ALREADY GRADED A QUESTIONS WITH
DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS
1.- Where generally Fuel-oil is used in buildings? What purposes?* Ans:
Is used in Stationary Equipments,
Two purposes:
a) Fuel Emergency Generators
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? Ans: 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: Ans: Polices, procedures and /
or best practices recommended by the FDNY
4.- The use of the word shall refers to: Ans: 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: Ans: 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? Ans:
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? Ans: 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? Ans: Weekly
9.- Licences & Certificates
No oil burning equipment may operated until? Ans: 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?
Ans: 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
12.- Oil Circulation in the System
What the oil storage tank do? Ans: 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
, Page | 3
How is the #2 fuel-oil in its normal condition? Ans: Is thin and light and
is easily pumped through the circulation system.
14.- Oil Circulation in the System
What the suction pump do? Ans: 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? Ans: 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? Ans: A device that measures pressure below
atmospheric pressure.
17.- Oil Circulation in the System
Excessive vacuum readings means? Ans: 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.? Ans: Flow of oil STOP
This permits the operator to clean the filter/strainer or to perform other
maintenance
21.- Oil Circulation in the System
How operated the Main Fuel Valve? Ans: The main fuel valve is
electrically operated and will open or close the line leading to the
atomizer only for oil burners.
