can the shutoff valve be located in utility vehicles (Ford, Isuzu, etc.)?
A. Yes. The accessibility to the shutoff valve is as important a consideration in determining the location of the valve as is the proximity of the valve to the tank.” The fuel shutoff valve is not required to be within 15″ of the tank. It can be located more than 15″ from the tank to provide easy access for maintenance personnel and still meet the “close as practicable” requirement. The closer the shutoff valve is to the tank the greater the length of fuel line that will shutoff by the valve in the event of a leak. 75.1909(a)(10): Q. Please describe some of the alternatives available for protection from oil leaks spraying on hot surfaces? A. Sections 75.1909(a)(6)&(10) cover this hazard. Two methods are typical. Covering the hot surfaces with a nonabsorbent insulating material would meet this requirement. The surface temperature of the insulating material must be less than the lowest autoignition temperature of fluids used on the machine (the lowest is typically 400F for diesel fuel- 1
