7.6 Portable offshore fuel transport tanks
If no local regulatory guidelines are available, information may be obtained from the Combined Federal Regulations (U.S. CFR 49, Part 173.32) or from the Air Transport Association (ATA 103, Paragraph 2-11).
7.6.1 Recommended minimum maintenance
Where local authority has established a more stringent guideline, the most stringent should be used.
.
A 5-year hydrostatic test required on the transporters. The data plate on the tank should state the test pressure requirement.
.
An annual test on the pressure relief valve.
.
Tanks should be inspected every 12 months; a) Check for build-up of sediment or evidence of microbial growth. b) If inspection reveals such growth or build-up of sediment exceeding 1/10 of the area of the
tank bottom surface, cleaning should be accomplished. c) If the tank has an internal epoxy coating, inspect coating for evidence of chipping, flaking, or other deterioration.
.
Jet fuel tanks should be cleaned with high pressure water or steam only. Under no circum-stances should solvents, chemicals, or detergents be used.
.
After cleaning with water, use squeegees and lint free mops to dry the tank surfaces. Assure removal of all free water, and allow the tank to dry thoroughly through natural ventilation as long as practicable.
.
Maintain a record of tank inspection and cleaning using ATA Form 103.07 or similar.
.
Dates indicating the inspection/test dates as prescribed in paragraphs 7.6.1.1-3 should be sten-cilled on the tank.
