Which action would be inappropriate when fueling at hydrant?

• A. Bond the equipment, ground the connection, attach the hose securely, monitor flow, transfer to the correct tank, and document
• B. Do not bond or ground
• C. Attach hose but do not monitor flow
• D. Document after you arrive somewhere else

Answer: (D)

Fueling from a hydrant requires safe control of the transfer and proper recordkeeping. You must bond and ground to prevent static discharge, secure the hose, monitor the flow to avoid overfill or spills, transfer to the correct tank, and document the fueling on-site. Delaying documentation until after you arrive somewhere else undermines accountability and accuracy, making it easy to lose track of fuel usage and where it went. Not bonding or grounding would risk an ignition from static electricity; attaching the hose without monitoring flow could lead to overfilling or leaks; and transferring to the wrong tank could cause contamination or misallocation. Therefore, documenting only after you’ve already moved on is inappropriate.
