TITLE
Mobile Fuel Bowser
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
WHAT HAPPENED
Modifications have been made to a diesel bowser battery position.
The battery was originally fitted inside the housing of the diesel bowser. This meant that it was extremely difficult to lift the battery out of the housing when it had to be charged.

Original battery position with restricted access
LEARNING POINTS / ACTIONS TAKEN
To prevent lifting injuries the Penderyn fitters have placed a box on the outside. It is away from any diesel spillage run off which could have been a fire risk during the re-charging process.
If you have bowsers on your sites please inform your fitter of this modification.
