TM 10-5430-242-12&P 0006 00 0006 00-2 OPERATION AT HIGH ALTITUDES No special procedures are required for operation at high altitudes. OPERATION IN MUD Ensure that filler/discharge valves and fittings are clean before filling or drawing fuel from the tank. OPERATION IN HIGH WINDS 1.    Ensure that the tank is secure and protected from flying debris. 2.    Keep the tank as full of fuel as possible. OPERATION IN RAIN If possible, provide adequate drainage ditches to prevent water from accumulating around the tank. EMERGENCY REPAIR PROCEDURES General Emergency repair is performed when cuts or punctures occur in the tank when in use. The Emergency Repair Kit is stored in the partition on the inside wall of the tank shipping container. Emergency Repairs with Wood Plugs In emergencies, as an immediate temporary measure, wood plugs may be used for sealing small holes or punctures.  The size of hole or tear will determine the size of the wood plug to be used. 1.    For holes (tears) up to approximately 0.5-inch (1.27 centimeters) in size, use the 3.0-inch (7.62 centimeters) long plug.   2.    For holes (tears) up to approximately 1.0-inch (2.54 centimeters) in size, use the 4.50-inch (11.43 centimeters) long plug. 3.    For holes (tears) up to approximately 1.5-inch (3.81 centimeters) in size, use the 5.25-inch (13.34 centimeters) long plug. Select the size of the plug needed to fit (seal) the tank puncture. Wet the plug and insert in the tank puncture.  Twist the plug clockwise until the leak is either stopped or slowed.  Follow-up regular inspection should be made of the wood plugs, as possible tightening may be necessary if the leaks resume.  Later, if a leak is not totally stopped, the use of a small sealing clamp may become necessary.
