Can we talk about forcing a cool-down period before refueling?

I stopped letting crews fuel up hot machines. We haven't had a single fuel-related incident since.

You let them fuel HOT machines?! That just seems like asking for trouble, man. Fuel vapor near a hot engine block is how you get a fire going real quick. I'm honestly shocked that was ever standard practice where you were.

My old lawnmower nearly went up in flames that way too, it was terrifying!

Totally agree! Almost burned down my garage once doing that, haha.
