Table 1. Collapsible Fabric Tank and Drums Repair Outfit Components (OF6E1) BOV-USA-1
WARNINGS
The cleaning fluids and adhesives in the repair kit are flammable and toxic to the
skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Skin and eye protection are required. Avoid
prolonged breathing of vapors, and minimize skin contact. Protective gloves
and respirator masks are part of the repair kit. Good general ventilation is
normally adequate. Keep away from excessive heat, open flames, or other
sources of ignition. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while using these chemicals.
Do not use the Cleaner/Degreaser near aluminum fittings on the tank.
Contact of the Cleaner/Degreaser to aluminum can cause explosives to form.
These gases can cause further damage to the tank or injury to personnel.
NOTE
Degreasing tank fabric can result in processing oil and waxes being drawn to the
fabric surface. This impairs adhesion of the Fluid Elastomer (adhesive) to the tank
fabric. Tank fabric should be tested for compatibility with Cleaner/Degreaser.
5. Test the Cleaner/Degreaser (Item 10, Table 1) on a small area of the tank fabric.
a. Moisten the cleaning cloth (Item 9, Table1) with a small amount of Cleaner/Degreaser (Item 10,
Table 1).
b.
Rub the cloth on a small area of the tank. If a greasy film appears, skip to step 7. Otherwise, go
to step 6.
6. Clean the entire area of tank to be patched with Cleaner/Degreaser (Item 10, Table 1).
