C PEI/111` 1200 - 12 5. If the spill bucket is found to have cracks , loose parts or separation of the bucket from the fill pipe, it is not considered to be liquid-tight. This visually indicates a test failure . NOTE: If the fill cap is not included in the spill bucket test and/or the cap is not tight, it could be the source of potential fuel contami- nation from water intrusion. NOTE: Before permanently plugging, ensure that local regulations allow the drain valve to be permanently plugged. 6. 2. 5 Test Procedure . 1. Add water to the spill bucket to a level within 1 . 5 inches of the top of the spill bucket . Allow the water to settle for 5 minutes before the initial water level measurement is taken . 2 . Place the measuring stick vertically at the lowest point in the spill bucket and extending above the water level to allow for an accurate measure- ment to be taken. The location of the measuring stick must remain the same for each water level measurement. Document the initial water level measurement as measured from the bottom of the spill bucket . Alternative measurement meth- ods may be used provided that measurement to 1 / 16 (0. 063) inch can be made. 3 . Take all precautions to prevent the water level from being disturbed during the duration of the test . 4. After 1 hour, document the ending water level measurement. 5.
