Worker Sprayed by Pump with Gasoline Dies of Burns

On March 9, 2010, Employee #1 was transferring gasoline from one underground storage tank to another using a PTO-type pump mounted under the catwalk of a tanker truck. While the transfer was in process, the discharge pipe of the PTO pump broke open. The pump sprayed fuel into the air and onto Employee #1 as well. He attempted to shut off the pump, but the fuel ignited before he could do so. He sustained significant burns to his upper body, and he died the following day as a result of his burns.
