UNIT PMCS PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
General
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) are performed to keep the collapsible fabric fuel
tank assembly in operating condition. The checks are used to find, correct, or report problems. Be sure
to perform PMCS each time the tank assembly is serviced. Using the PMCS table, always do PMCS in
the same order, so that it gets to be a habit. With practice, you will quickly spot anything wrong. Pay
careful attention to WARNING and CAUTION statements. A WARNING means someone could be hurt.
A CAUTION means equipment could be damaged.
Before using the tank assembly, do “Before” PMCS.
During use, do “During” PMCS.
After the tank assembly is used, do “After” PMCS.
Do “Semi-annually” PMCS once every six months.
If something is found to be wrong when performing PMCS, fix it if possible, using troubleshooting
procedures and/or maintenance procedures.
Use DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet) to record any faults discovered
before, during, or after operation, unless they can be fixed. You do not need to record faults that you can
fix. For further information about how to use this form, see DA PAM 738-750.
PMCS Procedures
The Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services, Table 1, lists the inspections and care required to
keep the fuel tank assembly in good operating condition.
The “Interval” column of Table 1 indicates when a certain check or service should be performed.
The “Procedure” column of Table 1 tells how to do the required checks and services. Carefully follow
these instructions. When the procedure tells you to, notify your supervisor.
The “Equipment Not Ready/Available If” column of Table 1 tells you when and why your equipment
cannot be used.
PMCS Leakage Definitions
It is necessary for you to know how fluid leakage affects the status of the collapsible fabric petroleum
tank. The following are types/classes of leakage you need to know to be able to determine the status of
the collapsible fabric fuel tank. Learn these leakage definitions and remember when in doubt, notify
