Defueling Operation (FIGURE 2-167).
WARNING
Defueling operations present a serious fire hazard. Ensure NO SMOKING signs
are placed at appropriate locations throughout the LCU and/or decks. Make
announcements through public address system that defueling operations are in
progress. Take other precautions as required by U.S. Army regulations.
Static electricity can cause a spark when connecting hose from LCU to fuel storage
facility. Ensure all grounding connections are made prior to connecting fuel hose.
The wake of passing watercraft can cause the LCU to move sufficiently to part fuel
hose. Ensure that the BRAVO flag is hoisted by day and a RED LIGHT is lit by
night to alert passing watercraft to pass with minimum wake action.
CAUTION
Prior to starting defueling operation, ensure drip pans are in place at each
connection and that scuppers are plugged to prevent accidental spillage from
flowing into navigable waters.
