Abstract: At 8:45 p.m. on March 9, an employee was operating a valve on top of a fuel truck to direct the flow of fuel from a storage tank hose into the fuel truck. During the transfer, a static discharge ignited the fuel vapors starting a small fire on the top of the fuel truck. The employee had to manually shut off the ball valve on the nozzle to stop the fuel flow which caused fuel to spill onto his clothing. The fuel filter ruptured at the pump and the employee was engulfed in flames. The employee suffered second and third degree burns to his chest, torso, and legs and, was transported to the hospital. The employee died on March 23, 2016, as a result of sepsis.
