CHAPTER 7 - DISASSEMBLY, PREPARATION FOR STORAGE AND SHIPMENT OVERVIEW Disassembly of the TPT is essentially the reverse of assembly.  As the equipment is disassembled, it must be cleaned, flushed (if necessary) and/or evacuated.  The original shipping containers should be utilized whenever possible.  The disassembled equipment should be repacked into the containers on site, as close to the location of disassembly as possible.  If the original container is not available an equivalent field fabricated container or heavy duty protective wrapping should be used.  It is most important that all damaged or missing equipment be noted, and this information be marked on the container.  The date of disassembly should also be marked on the container.  This information should also be placed inside the container with other documents. 7-1 Drain, Flush, Drv, Disassemble a. Collapsible Fabric Tanks 1) Drain fuel from tank with pump. 2) Disconnect  filler  and  discharge  hoses  from  elbows,  then  remove  elbows.    Pad  fitting  to prevent damage to tank upon rolling. 3) Squeeze excess fuel towards low drain fitting by rolling tank.  Avoid sharp creases.  Inspect tank bottom frequently, removing stones, sticks and other debris which may be stuck to tank bottom. 4) Drain excess fuel from tank through drain valve.  Remove sludge if necessary, using a flush of water and detergent followed by a clean water rinse. 5) Remove tank from berm.  Inspect tank for damage and remove fuel from tank surface using a mild detergent solution. 6) Dry inside of tank with air.  Before inflating tank, be sure to secure tank with tie-downs. CAUTION Sludge may give off toxic as well as explosive vapors and can cause poisoning through inhalation or skin contact.  Persons cleaning tanks must be adequately protected.  All electrical equipment must be explosion proof. CAUTION Air/fuel mixtures are potentially explosive.  Use only explosion-proof electrical equipment and enforce strict "No Smoking" rules. NOTE For more detailed disassembly, cleaning and repacking instructions for 5,000 bbl tank, see technical manual by ILC Dover.  For 50,000 gallon tank, see TM 5-5430-210-12. 7-1
