What is the recommended space to maintain between refueling vehicles?

Maintaining a spacing of 10-25 feet between refueling vehicles is important for safety during operations. This distance helps to minimize the risk of fire or explosion by ensuring that any potential sparks or sources of ignition from one vehicle do not easily affect another. The spacing also allows for safe maneuvering and access in case of emergencies, such as spills or equipment failure.

Choosing this specific range provides a balance between operational efficiency and safety considerations. Too close together could lead to increased risks, while too far could hinder the refueling operation's efficiency. The spacing guidelines are often derived from industry standards and practices established by safety organizations to enhance the safety of refueling activities in potentially hazardous environments.
