Question 1

Under OSHA regulations, what clearance distance is required between a fueling operation and open flames or ignition sources?

Accepted Answer

50 feet

OSHA and NFPA 30A require a minimum 50-foot separation between motor fuel dispensing equipment and open flames or ignition sources.

Question 2

Which fuel additive is commonly used in diesel fleet vehicles to prevent fuel gelling in cold climates?

Accepted Answer

Anti-gel additive (cold flow improver)

Answer

Anti-gel additives lower the cold filter plugging point (CFPP) of diesel fuel, preventing wax crystal formation that blocks fuel filters in cold weather.

Question 3

What is the correct action when a fuel card is reported lost or stolen?

Accepted Answer

Immediately deactivate the card through the card management system

Answer

Immediate deactivation through the card management portal stops unauthorized transactions and limits fleet liability from that moment forward.

Question 4

A fleet manager is comparing total cost of ownership (TCO) between CNG and gasoline vehicles. Which cost factor most often favors CNG?

Accepted Answer

Lower fuel cost per equivalent gallon

Answer

CNG typically costs significantly less per gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) than retail gasoline, often making fuel savings the primary TCO advantage of CNG fleets.

Question 5

Which reporting frequency is considered best practice for fleet fuel variance analysis to catch anomalies quickly?

Accepted Answer

Weekly or real-time

Answer

Weekly or real-time reporting allows fleet managers to identify and investigate fuel anomalies before they accumulate into significant losses.
