4-10 50,000 Gallon Fabric Collapsible Tank Operation - Cont'd .
CAUTION
TANK HOSE CONNECTIONS
Prior to operation, make sure the connections to the tank are tight and that the lay of hose is
such as to not cause the stiff fill/discharge connection to cock and cause an air/vapor space.
A cocked connection can cause a loss of suction to the associated pump or a trapped
air/vapor space not wanted in the fabric collapsible tank. The tank is designed to operate
without air or vapor above the liquid surface.

Information on the 600 gpm hoseline pumps is found in para. 2-4.3 and Fig.'s 2-13 and 2-14. Fig. 2-15 is the
performance curve for the pump. Detailed instructions are in the technical manual prepared by Peabody Barnes and
supplied with the pumps. These instructions must be studied in detail before operating the pumps. The pump is started,
operated, and shut down in accordance with Peabody Barnes instructions.

when filling a fabric collapsible tank that is nearing full capacity. An overfilled tank can result
in a rupture and the resultant major spill.
WARNING
DRY SUCTION
Do not leave a pump operating and unattended at anytime, if possible, but particularly not
when a fabric collapsible tank is nearing its empty point. Continued operation with a dry
suction can result in pump failure.
WARNING
OVERPRESSURE
Do not operate the pump at discharge pressures in excess of 150 psig. Equipment including
the pump is not designed for pressures above 150 psig.
