| Why it matters | Chapter 13 covers the storage and delivery side of liquid fuel systems, with a strong focus on containment, control, and safe shutoff. |
| In the field | This chapter is common in generator systems, oil-fired boilers, older heating systems, and retrofit work where tanks, piping, and valves can be easy to overlook until there is a leak. |
Core Fundamentals
- Fuel oil systems are simple until containment fails.
- Material compatibility, protection against damage, shutoff, and level control matter as much as burner operation.
- Because leaks can become fire, environmental, and property-loss events, small details matter.
