What to Avoid in Diesel Fuel / Fuel Oil Service

  • EPDM-seated or EPDM-sealed valves (swells in hydrocarbons)
  • Non-fire-safe valves where flash point < 60°C
  • Globe valves for mainline fuel isolation

Service Considerations

  • HFO heat tracing: valves must be jacketed or heat-traced above pour point
  • Tank isolation: rising-stem gate valves provide visible position indication
  • ATEX Zone 1 classification at fuel loading/unloading areas
  • Marine service: requires Lloyd's Register, DNV, or BV type approval
