Investigation Summary
Employee #1, assisted by Employee #2, entered tank #771 to unlock it so that the remaining unleaded gasoline could be pumped into tank #620. Scott SKA-PAK supplied-air respirators were used by both employees (which are designed as protection for escape only). When Employee #2's air supply became low, he apparently was overcome by gasoline vapors. While attempting to rescue him, Employee #1 was also overcome by gasoline vapors and subsequently died. Employee #2 was hospitalized. Employee #1 was the apparent attendant. An oxygen and combustible gas indicator had been used to monitor the vapors in tank #771 before entry.
