Rapid closure of downstream valves or nozzles during fueling with a high-pressure pump can result in
overpressurization of vessel and cause fuel leaks, leading to possible explosion. Failure to follow this
warning may result in injury or death to personnel.
NOTE
Water should be drained from the sump daily, or after each fueling operation. See "Post-Operation
Procedures" on page 0006 00-4 for more information.
