Daily visual inspection for leaks shall be made in the areas of: <br />- Submerged pump <br />- Tank fill (also inspected after each delivery) <br />3. Dealer MUST be aware that a reduction in product flow to 3 gallons per <br />minute (gpm) indicates a potential piping leak. <br />PRODUCT TANK GAUGING PROCEDURE <br />1. Use a gauge stick (dipstick) to measure the level of gasoline in each <br />tank. Lower the stick slowly until it hits the bottom of the tank. <br />The use of fuel -finding paste is recommended. <br />2. Slowly pull the stick back out, and observe the point where the stick <br />begins to be discolored by the liquid. <br />3. Write this number down, and repeat the same procedure. If the two <br />number are not close, repeat the procedure until the numbers agree. <br />4. Enter the final number in your dealer books. <br />If it is raining, water can spoil the readings, and should not be allowed <br />to enter the tank. If it does not stop raining, care must be taken to <br />ensure the stick readings are accurate. <br />RECORD KEEPING FOR SINGLE-WALL TANKS <br />1. Use your dealer books to keep track of your daily dipstick reading. <br />2. Record daily all dispenser meter readings in your dealer books. <br />3. Record all deliveries in your dealer books. <br />4. The dipstick, dispenser meter, and delivery recordings are to be used <br />daily in filling out the "Inventory Reconciliation Sheet" (attached). <br />WASTE OIL TANK GAUGING PROCEDURE <br />1. To monitor the inventory level in the waste oil tank, be prepared to <br />have the tank locked for at least 12 hours or longer if required by <br />your local agency. This shall be done weekly. NO INPUTS OR <br />WITHDRAWALS SHALL OCCUR DURING THESE PERIODS. <br />2. Stick gauge the tank immediately before closing access to the waste <br />oil tank, and immediately after reopening the tank, and enter those <br />numbers in columns C and D of the "Waste Oil Tank Gauging Sheet" <br />(attached) in both inches and gallons. <br />3. The difference between those two columns is the actual variation <br />(column E). <br />4. For allowable variation (column F), use 2.8 gallons if you have a 280 <br />gallon capacity, or 5.0 gallons if you have a 520 or 550 gallon tank. <br />WHAT TO DO IF YOU EXCEED THE ALLOWABLE VARIATION <br />If you EVER exceed the allowable variation (Inventory Reconciliation <br />Sheet, column 13, or Waste Oil Tank Gauging Sheet, column G), follow the <br />RESPONSE PROCEDURE shown on Page 3. Notify your UNOCAL representative <br />within 24 hours of discovery of a suspected leak. UNOCAL will be <br />responsible for coordinating one or more of the following: <br />- Performing a metered vs. measured inventory reconciliation. <br />- Contacting the appropriate State and Local agencies. <br />- Visually inspecting for leaks. <br />- Calibrating the dispenser meters. <br />- Hiring a tank tester to determine if there is a leak. <br />- Having the tank(s)-and/or piping repaired or replaced if necessary. <br />The "Unauthorized Release Report" must be sent to UNOCAL within 24 hours. <br />The "Release Evaluation Checklist" must be attached tothe"Inventory <br />Reconciliation Sheet", or the "Waste Oil Tank Gauging Sheet" where the <br />allowable variation was exceeded. <br />Page 5 of 10 <br />
