What is the purpose of a spill bucket?

• A. To catch drips and leaks during fueling to prevent soil contamination
• B. To store extra fuel
• C. To vent vapors
• D. To hold rainwater

Answer: (A)

Spill buckets are there to catch drips and small spills during fueling so fuel doesn’t soak into the soil or contaminate groundwater. They sit under the nozzle or hose to capture anything that drips or leaks, keeping the fueling area cleaner and reducing environmental risk. This function supports environmental protection and regulatory compliance. They aren’t meant for storing extra fuel, venting vapors, or holding rainwater, which are handled by other system components.
