CHAPTER 1.  INTRODUCTION Section I.  GENERAL INFORMATION 1-1. PURPOSE AND FUNCTION.  The 5,000 barrel tank is a collapsible fabric container designed to store petroleum- based  fuels.    The  collapsible  tank  is  intended  for  use  as  a  fuel  storage  container  when  large  capacity  quick storage facilities are needed, and where permanent fuel storage facilities are not available.   It will store fuel that is off loaded from shipping tankers and then dispense the fuel to support operations.  The tank is primarily used in quick-response deployment operations. 1-2. CAPABILITIES.    The  tank  has  a  capacity  of  5,000  barrels  or  210,000  gallons  (794.94  kiloliters).    The  tank  is compatible with all standard military fuel storage and handling equipment.  The tank can be quickly deployed on flat ground with a minimum of surface preparation. 1-3. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS.  The tank is composed of a single ply nylon cloth coated on both sides with an elastomer.  Five fittings are bonded into the tank for attaching one vent assembly, two filler/discharge assemblies,  and  two  drain  assemblies.    The  tank  and  components  are  suitable  for  operational  use  at  ambient temperatures  from  plus  125°F  (51.7°C)  to  minus  25°F  (-31.7°C).    The  tank  materials  are  designed  to  resist exposure effects from extreme temperatures, rain, snow, ice, fungi growth and high humidity conditions.  Access to the inside of the tank can be made through either filler/discharge fitting. The tank is self-supporting and does not require earth-embankment support. 1-1
