How should different fuels be labeled and stored to prevent errors?

Clear labeling combined with color-coding per standard operating procedure and separate storage and lines for each fuel type create multiple, reinforcing checks that prevent errors. Labels identify exactly what each container or line holds, color-coding gives quick at-a-glance recognition even in low light or stressful conditions, and keeping different fuels physically apart prevents cross-contamination and misfueling through mistaken connections or transfers. Relying on just one method leaves gaps—labels can wear or be misread, color-coding depends on strict adherence to the scheme, and separate storage without clear labeling can still cause confusion about what’s in use. Using all three together provides the strongest, most reliable safeguard against fueling errors.
