What should the spill bucket be kept at all times?

The spill bucket should be kept clean and dry to effectively serve its primary purpose, which is to contain and manage any fuel spills that may occur during the fueling process. A clean and dry spill bucket ensures that any potential contaminants are not introduced into the system and allows for the quick and efficient handling of spills, should they occur.

Keeping the spill bucket dry minimizes the risk of creating a hazardous situation where fuel could mix with water or debris, potentially leading to environmental contamination. A clean bucket is essential to ensure that any spills are easily identifiable, enabling operators to respond promptly and appropriately.

While options that suggest filling the bucket with fuel, absorbent material, or keeping it in a moist state would not meet safety regulations and could compromise the integrity of the containment system, maintaining a state that is clean and dry ensures compliance with environmental safety standards and helps prevent spills from escalating into larger issues.
