Is a fire suppression system required for storage tanks for a battery-operated fuel center?
A. Yes. All permanent underground diesel fuel storage facilities must be provided with a fire suppression system that meets the requirements of 75.1912. Additionally, all non-self-propelled diesel fuel transportation units with electrical components for dispensing fuel that are connected to a source of electrical power must be protected by a fire suppression device that meets the requirements of 75.1107-3 through 75.1107-6, and 75.1107-8 through 75.1107-16. Q. If a diesel-powered machine is trammed in and out of the section and is never actually parked, does the final rule require that rock dust be available? A. No. If the machine is never actually parked, a temporary fuel storage area or a permanent underground fuel storage facility would not be required for the machine. Rock dust would therefore not need to be provided under the final rule, which requires that rock dust and/or fire extinguishers be provided at temporary fuel storage areas and permanent fuel storage facilities.
