standard luels road tanker or the Refuels vehicle. This delivery is a control operation if carrying out an uplift duringtrading hours, the assistance of PFS staff or site owners will be required to keep the area clear of customers /employees to provide a safe working area.This procedure relates to petroleum product listed below only

All parties MUST agree the litreage and each party oudit troilreceive a copy of this recordThe tanker driver must wear his full PPE including hard hat & eye protection, dueto being in close contact with the product.The site needs to be taken through the prccedure to be used and explain the controlmeasures to be taken, which areas are to be closed or the whole forecourt dependingupon the space available and the position of the tanks.The working area is coned off, all sources of ignition controlled and checked (phone H&s -off and left in the cab of the vehicle). .Controls

DSEARWithin the safe working area must only be the driver of the tanker and the personform the uplift company carrying out the procedure.As part of the uplift procedure there must be an emergency plan established,generally with a second person from the uplift company acting as a runner and forfilling this role.Firstly an earth must be established and all equipment and the tanker must be H&5 -earthed .Control of

sources ofignition

A powder type fire extinguisher must be readily available

Using uplift componies punp:

ISOLATE YOUR VEIIICLE. Operate the master control switch on the vehicle andopens the guard bar.The uplift provider will as the driver to connect his vapour line if possible to do so toHds -the sites stage lb vapour balancing system. If it is not possible to make this .DSEARconnection or the uplift provide has not got an alternative vapour stack system thetanker will vent to atmosphere, this must be considered in relation to the DSEARzoning as per the standards (generally 4m in all directions from the top of thevehicle to a height of 15m above the top of the trailer)The tank chamber for the corresponding contaminated tank (Customers tank) canthen be opened and access gained to the tank drop tube.Depending upon the age and the total literage sold from the site will determine if aphysical overfill protection device is fitted to the top of the drop tube. This willrequire removing by the uplift company for them to pass there uplift pipe into thecontaminated tank.Depending upon the uplift equipment being used a connection from thecontaminated tank uplift hose to a pump and then a vehicle delivery hose to thetanker being used to receive the contaminated fuel.Once all the connections have been made and checked and both parties are happythe uplift can be startedAlways load the front compartments / pot first for the stability of the vehicle on theroad and for any reason if the procedure has to be stopped the vehicle is still safeand can be moved. Thereafter follow the agreed loading procedure as per thespecific vehicle combination being used,The driver then opens the foot valve of the first corresponding compartment to beloaded (ONLY one hose at a time)Then opens the foucet valve and the uplift company can start there pump

At this point all connections and hose being used must be checked for leaks, if anyfound the whole procedure must be stopped and the leak rectifiedThe driver and the competent person from the uplift company must remain inattendalce throughout.Depending upon the metering system being used the trailer compartment / pot isfilled up to the pre-agreed level.Stop the process and move the delivery hose to the next compartment to be loadedand repeat procedures 17 - 29

Connect vapour hose (TANKER END FIRST) customer end last.

Remove and connect uplift hose

Connect uplift hose to lance

Connect uplift hose to vehicle normal position, with guard bar down,

Pull / open the corresponding compartment to be loaded ie. pot 3. The visiwinkindicates when red the compartment to be loaded and the footvalve is openPull / open the uplift control blue button.

On the Emco Weaton DataPlus key pad enter the location (as ID number) Press F3to enterEntre the product grade ie. Refuels (mixed) then press F3 to entre

Insert the litreage amount to be uplifted into the preset arnount field. Press F3(Fl key to back space if any information is incorrect before starting the upliftprocess)Connect hydraulic lines, visually check as making the connections

Return to the cab using 3points of contact

Engage PTO

Start engine and set revs to 6{X)rpm

Exit cab using 3 points of contact

Return to control display

Open manifold F2

With the lance in the contaminated tank make the uplift competent person aware ofyour readiness to startStart priming the pump. Firstly press the green button on the Datapluss unit thepump will engage for 5 seconds and stopYou are then required to press the red button to reset and then the green to start thefull uplift process.

Using Refuels vehicle to tronsfer to o second vehicle:

Firstly space and the increase to the DSEAR zones

Follow the same procedure as an uplift to the vehicle compartment but connect atransfer hose from either side of the refuels tanker to another vehicle alongside APIThe second vehicle can be loaded to its compartment or pot size- safe workingcapacity as this being metered on and a ticket for this can be printed,On completion or between compartment / pots the transfer hose will need to beblown down to empty.This can be done with the using the "blow down line" transfer button B for bothsides of the vehicle. Button A is for discharge ONLY.Remove and stow all equipment to the trailerPrint out a meter ticket for the second vehicle

Depending upon the condition of the final contents of the tank, ie. the tankmaintenance it must b€ agreed what procedure is to be followed with, if it is to allgo on the same vehicle or in a separate compartment / pot of the vehicle or if aseparate vehicle is to receive this last product.Remove vapour hose GUS'IOMER-END FIRST)tanker end last

Stow all hoses using buttons a safe manual handling rnethod

Remove and stoly fittings and replace drip caps if applicable .

On completion of the uplift all the equipment is removed and returned to iscorresponding vehicle, leaving the earth to the last connection to be disconnected.Make the area safe and return it to normal operating conditions.

Collect a copy of the final gauge reading or check the tank with the customer,uplift company.If Turners are delivering the replacement fuel this must be delivered in the normalrYay, in to the correct tank.Then all the pump dispensers linked to the corresponding contaminated tank mustbe flushed though,60ltr minimum must be draw through each pump dispenser.This fuel can be returned to the corresponding tank an diluted with the other newproduct that has been delivered
