TERMINATE fueling when Electronic-Overfill senor demonstrate <br /> filling at 85% of total. <br /> • Record tank volumes on a checklist prior to work. Calculate the percentage of <br /> the AST available and document, verify with delivery vendors the proposed <br /> volume for delivery. Inspect The Level Display on the loading end of the AST <br /> and review the readings. Ensure the volume for loading is within the ullage. <br /> • Inform facility personnel of ANY overage and WAIT. <br /> • Tank#1 (diesel) is a 10,000 gallon tank. 95% Maximum AST volume is <br /> required. <br /> • Tank#2 (waste oil) is a 550 gallon tank. 95% Maximum AST volume is 500 <br /> gallons—filled by employees. <br /> • Tank#3 (oil) is a 600 gallon tank. 95% Maximum AST volume 550 gallons. <br /> • Drain water from truck unloading and loading rack area of prior to unloading <br /> or loading of a truck. <br /> • Visually check all hoses for leaks and wet spots. <br /> • Lock in the closed position all drainage valves of the secondary containment <br /> structure. <br /> • Secure the tank vehicle with wheel chocks and interlocks. <br /> • Ensure that the vehicle's parking brakes are set. <br /> • Verify proper alignment of valves and proper functioning of the pumping <br /> system.
