LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS
LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS
The collapsible fabric petroleum tanks are supplied with all components necessary to make the tanks
operational. For the purpose of this manual, the collapsible fabric petroleum tanks will be addressed as
kits comprising the following major components.
Tank
The collapsible fabric petroleum tank (1) is used to store liquid fuels. The vent, filler, and discharge
fittings are on the top of the tank. Two drain fittings are on the tank bottom. U-shaped handles along the
tank perimeter aid in unfolding, positioning, and storing of the tank.
Tank Fitting Assemblies
Each tank is equipped with the following fitting assemblies:
1. Drain Fitting Assembly. Two drain fittings (2) are mounted on the bottom surface of the tank. These
are low profile fittings equipped with couplings and dust caps.
2. Vent Fitting Assembly. The vent fitting (3) connects to the top center of the collapsible fuel tank
and prevents damage from over pressurization. Venting of tank pressure is automatic and no
operator control is required. The vent assembly contains a flame.
3. Filler/Discharge Assemblies. A filler assembly (4) and discharge assembly (5) are located on top of
the collapsible fuel tank. Both assemblies are supplied with a 90° elbow for use in connecting the
tank to system hoses. A protective dust cap and plug are provided at each fitting to prevent entry of
contaminants when tank is not in use.
Accessories
The following accessory items are furnished with each collapsible fabric petroleum tank.
1. Two 2-inch (5.08cm) non-collapsible hose assemblies (6). These 10-foot (3.05m) long hose
assemblies connect to the tank drain fittings.
2. Two 2-inch (5.08cm) gate valves (7). These valves allow manual control of tank draining. Quick-
disconnect couplings (8 and 9), gaskets (10), dust plugs (11) and caps (12) are included for use
on these valves (7).
3. One 4-inch (11.16cm) collapsible hose assembly (13). This 20-foot (6.1m) long hose assembly
connects to the tank filler assembly (4) for filling with liquid fuel.
4. One 6-inch non-collapsible hose assembly (14). This 10-foot (3.05m) long hose assembly
connects to the tank discharge assembly (5) for discharging fuel.
5. Berm Liner. The berm liner (15) provides a fuel barrier for the berm installed around the
collapsible tank. The berm liner is equipped with two drain fitting assemblies. Four 20-foot (6.1m)
long, 2-inch (5.08cm) non-collapsible hose assemblies (16) and two 2-inch (5.08cm) gate valves
(17) are furnished with the berm liner for draining the liner.
