3-29.5
Test Procedure - Cont'd.
The pressure and temperature must be checked and noted on the test report at 30 minute intervals. Soap suds are
effective in locating leaks. Any leaks found, and size and type of leak must be noted on test report, this information is
required to approve the system for operation.
CAUTION
Under no conditions are the fabric collapsible tanks to be subject to air tests. Remove all
connecting hoses to tanks to prevent this. Entry of air to the fabric tanks can exceed the
tanks venting capacity, inflate, and possibly rupture the tank.
CAUTION
All test media, water or fuel, if incompatible with the particular fuel service designated for the
system tested, must be thoroughly drained from the system before it is placed in service.
3-30 Install Road Crossing Guards
Twenty (20) units per TPT
Install the road crossing guards described in para. 2-4.10 in the manner shown on Fig. 2-24 at all points where hoselines
cross an area where vehicle traffic is planned. Erect signs advising drivers that there is a crossing at that point.
"Danger, Hoseline Crossing" would be an acceptable notice.
WARNING
Hoselines can be easily damaged by vehicles crossing them. Be sure well covered hose
guards are installed where traffic is expected. Permit no vehicles to cross unguarded hose.
3-31 Install Range Poles
Two (2) per 5000 bbl tank/thirty-six (36) per TPT
Install range poles and cords at all 5000 bbl tanks as described in paragraph 2-4.9 and shown on Fig. 2-23.
3-32 Paint System
Paint all metal parts that have not been previously painted or anodized to acceptable standards or that have deteriorated
in shipment and storage. Prepare surfaces and apply primer in accordance with MIL T-704, Type A and finish coat per
MIL-E-52798, Type I, sand color.
3-33 Equipment and Line Identification Marking
3-33.1
It is recommended that all major equipment (tanks, pumps, meter strainers, filter separators, and operating
valves, and pump pressure gages be marked with the equipment identification numbers shown on the P&ID, Fig. 2-1, for
efficiency and safety in operation.
Equipment that has large enough surfaces should be stencil painted using color that contrasts well with the background.
Small valves, etc., can be marked with metal strips bearing the equipment number and wired to the valve. This should
be done after installation to make sure numbering is correct.
