TM 10-5430-242-12&P 0006 00 0006 00-1 OPERATOR AND UNIT MAINTENANCE MANUAL (INCLUDING REPAIR PARTS AND SPECIAL TOOLS LIST) COLLAPSIBLE FABRIC TANKS, FUEL STORAGE, 3,000, 10,000, 20,000, AND 50,000 GALLON   OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS OPERATION IN EXTREME HEAT 1.    Avoid unnecessary handling of the tank that might cause coating material separation. The coating material becomes increasingly delicate as the temperature rises. 2.    If possible, set up protective shade over the tank being careful not to block air circulation. OPERATION IN EXTREME COLD 1.    Avoid any unnecessary handling of the tank. 2.    If possible, deploy the tank only when the temperature is above -25F (-32C). CAUTION In extreme cold, a new fabric tank must be prepared for initial operations. The fabric tank will crack if the seams formed in the material from depot vacuum packing are not stretched out prior to the fabric tank being filled with fuel. 3.    Remove the tank from the packing crate and unfold the tank to allow the seams created by the depot vacuum packing to stretch out. 4.    If possible, inflate the fabric tank with compressed air to ensure all seams are stretched out. 5.    Keep snow and ice from accumulating on the top of the tank, vent, and pipe assembly. 6.    Keep snow and ice from accumulating on the couplings to ensure proper assembly and disassembly. 7.    Avoid unnecessary folding, unfolding, or rolling of the tank that might cause flaking, cracking, or delaminating of the coating material.   8.    Sweep snow from the exterior of tank with a soft-bristled broom or brush. 9.    Cover fittings to keep ice from forming on the filler/discharge assemblies. 10. Refold and repack the fabric tank after the seams have been stretched out.   OPERATION IN SANDY OR DUSTY AREAS 1.    Cover all hoses and fittings not in use with dust caps to prevent sand or dust from contaminating the fuel. 2.    Ensure that filler/discharge fittings are free of sand or dirt prior to filling or drawing fuel from the tank. 3.    Keep the tank, vent and pipe assembly, and filler/discharge valve assemblies clear of sand, dust and grime. 4.    Wipe all couplings clean before assembly.
