C 18.1. GENERAL 18.1.1. Owner must retain the Installation Manual and Operating Guidelines for future reference to operating guidelines. 18.1.2. In addition to these installation instructions and operating guidelines, follow all federal, state and local laws, regulations, codes and safety precautions that pertain to underground storage tanks and/or their associated systems. 18.1.3. Consult tank brochures, separate system instructions (such as oil/water separators) and separate accessory instructions, which are available upon request from the UST coordinator at the Xerxes plant nearest you. (See SECTION 20.) 18.1.4. Consult the applicable warranty for each tank for further operating guidelines and limitations. A copy of the warranty is available upon request from the UST coordinator at the Xerxes plant nearest you. (See SECTION 19.) 18.2. FILLING TANK 18.2.1. Never overfill the tank. 18.2.2. Xeres recommends only gravity filling of tanks. ®WARNING Xerxes does not recommend pump or pressure filling of the tanks because an overfill or overpressurization could occur. Overfilling the tank while under pressure could cause tank failure even if the tank vent is unrestricted. Tank failure could result in death or serious injury. 18.2.3. Each time the tank is filled, the owner/operator must make sure the tank is properly vented. (See SECTION 11.) 18.2.4.Owner/operator must determine whether the tank has overfill protection, such as automatic shut-off devices ("flapper valves") or vent -restriction devices ("ball -float valves"), which will close off the internal piping and reduce the tank's capacity. 18.2.5.Owner/operator must notify whoever fills the tank that it has overfill protection, which reduces the tank's capacity. 18.2.6. Before each tank filling, owner/operator or the delivery service must determine the tank's reduced capacity due to the overfill protection, and consult the instructions or guidelines provided by the installer and manufacturer of the overfill -protection device to determine how much additional product the tank can hold. ®WARNING If ownedoperator allows pump or pressure filling of the tank, owneuyoperator must ensure that the tank is not equipped with overfill protection, such as an automatic shut-off device or ball - float valve. Owner/operator must notify whoever will fill the tank that automatic shut-off equipment is required on the delivery truck to prevent an overfill and that overfilling the tank while under pressure could cause tank failure even if the tank vent is unrestricted. Failure to follow these instructions each time the tank is filled could cause an overfill, overpressurization or tank failure, and could result in death or serious injury. 26 E 18.3. ENTERING TANK 18.3.1. Do not allow anyone to enter the tank unless it has been properly emptied and vented, and unless the person entering the tank has been trained in confined -space entry procedures and applicable OSHA regulations. WARNING Improper tank entry could cause fire, explosion or asphyxi- ation, and could result in death or serious injury. 19.1. GENERAL 19.1.1.
