Loading Conditions - Tank shall meet the following design criteria: 1. Internal Load: Tank shall withstand a 5 psi air pressure test with 5:1 safety factor. Contractor shall individually test tanks for leakage prior to installation. Maximum test pressure is 5 psi. 2. Vacuum Test: To verify structural integrity, every tank shall be vacuum tested by the manufacturer at the factory to 1 1.5 inches of mercury. 3. Surface Loads: Tank shall withstand surface H-20 axle loads when properly installed according to manufacturer's current installation instructions. Es 4. External Hydrostatic Pressure: Tank shall be capable of being buried in ground with 7' of overburden over the top of the tanks, the hole fully flooded and a safety factor of 5:1 against general buckling. 5. Tanks shall support accessory equipment - such as heating coils, drop tubes, submersible pumps and ladders - when installed according to tank manu- facturer's recommendations and limitations. B. Product Storage: 1. Tanks shall be capable of storing petroleum prod- ucts with specific gravity up to 1. 1. 2. Tanks shall be vented to atmospheric pressure. The tank is not designed as a pressure vessel, except for use with vapor -recovery systems, provided the pressure of vacuum does not exceed 1 psi. 3. Gasoline: gasohol (90% gasoline/) 0% ethanol mix tures 90.5% gasoline and 9.5% Oxinol-50" (4.75% methanol and 4.75% GTBA mixture); Dupont EPA waiver (gasoline with 5% methanol and a minimum of 2.5% cosolvent-gasoline with up to 20% (by vol- ume) of MTBE: gasoline/water/ethanol or methanol - blend motor fuels, including 100% ethanol or methanol or M85 (85% methanol) at ambient tem- peratures; jet fuel; av-gas: kerosene; diesel fuel: new - or used motor oil, or used for fuel oil at temperatures not to exceed 150° F. C. Materials: I. Tanks shall be manufactured with 100% resin and glass fiber reinforcement. No sand fillers. D. Tank Dimensions (Refer to Xerxes literature on gallonage.): 1. Tank shall have nominal capacity of gallons 2. Tank shall have nominal outside diameter of feet. 3. Tanks shall have approximate overall length of feet. E. Interstitial Space 1. Tank shall have a space between the primary and secondary shell walls to allow for the free flow and containment of all leaked product from the primary tank. The space also allows the insertion of a moni- toring device through a monitoring fitting. 2.02 Appurtenances and Accessories A. Optional Anchor Straps i . Straps shall be FRP anchor straps as supplied by tank manufacturer. 2. Number and location of straps shall be specified in current literature by tank manufacturer. B. Manways i .All manways are to be flanged and 22" I.D., com- plete with U.L.listed gaskets, bolts and covers. (30" and 36- I.D. manways are also available. 2. Location is shown on standard tank drawings. 3. Optional manway extension tubes shall be FRP and 24" tong. , 4. Each steel manway cover shall have a minimum of three 4" NPT fittings.
