Multiple tank in:atallation will also ire a minimum of 12 inchos between tank measured from each outside edge. ANCHORING 7.0 Certain situations require the use of properly designed anchor straps to overcome existing buoyant forces. The straps are used in conjunction with a concrete holddown slab or deadman anchors. CAUTION: Use of steel cable or round bar is prohibited. INE USE Of SYM CABLE ANO ROUND BAA AS Nolo 00W14 STRAPS IS PROHIBiTtO 7.1 A pad of inert, isolation dielectric material must be used to separate the steel anchor strap from the tank. Isolation pads are not required when the holddown strap material is approved fiberglass or polyester webbing. BACKFILL 8.0 Only the following approved backfill material may be used. 1. Clean washed sand. 2. Pea Gravel - (particle size must be not less than 1/8 inch or more than 314 inch) 3. Washed stone or gravel crashinge - (angular particle size required to be not less than 1/8 inch or more than 1/2 inch) 8.1 Special care should be used to ensure that the backfill is properly installed to evenly support the bottom quadrant of the tank. NOTE: Do not backfill in layers using different materials. 8.2 If tank must 011asted during the backfill procedure, at no time may the liquid exceed the height of the compacted backfill surrounding the tank. 8.3 The tank shall be encompassed by the proper backfill and extending to a minimum of 12 inches over the top of the tank. 8.4 Areas subject to heavy vehicular traffic shall have a protective cover of 18 inches clean, compacted soil with either 6 inches of reinforced concrete or 8 inches of asphalt paving. If compacted soil is the . only cover, it shall be a minimum of 36 inches deep. 8.5 Areas not subject to heavy vehicular traffic shall have a proteetiv2 cover of a minimum I8 inches of clean compacted soil covered by 4 inches of reinforced concrete or 6 inches of asphalt paving. If compacted soil is the only cover, it shall be a minimum of 24 inches deep. 8.6 Finishing Instructions; A faberglassing kit is shipped with tank and provides materials to cover unused openings and external attachments, such as lifting lugs. All finishing work will be done prior to backfilling. 9.0 For Glasteel II warranty to be initiated, the Installation Checklist must be properly filled out by the customer, and returned to the Modena Welding Co. subsidiary from which the tank was fabricated. The Installation Checklist must be returned within 30 days after date of installation. If the Glasteel II tank has not been installed within 90 days' of delivery from the manufacturer. it is required that the tank be re -certified by the manufacturer, at the owner's expense, prior to installation. , 10.0 Maintenance of Underground Storage Tanks The primary tank should be inspected monthly for the presence of water. Inspections should take place at the lowest possible points inside the primary tank. Remove any water found. Water and sediment in fuel can cause plugging of filters. Also, bacterial growth originating from the fuel, can cause filters to plug and corrosion of tanks and lines. A report by the US Department of Energy, BNL 48406, provides information on methods to test for and remove water, test for bacterial presence in fuel, tank cleaning and fuel additives. Failure to remove water from the tank may void your warranty. •WMIZENMA Corporate Office (270) 6"400 Modern Welding Company of Owensboro, Inc (270) 683-5323 Modern Welding Company of Ohio, Inc (740) 344-9426 Modern Welding Company of Florida, Inc (407) 843-1270 Modern Welding Company of Texas, Inc (713) 675.4211 Modem Welding Company of Texas, Inc (817) 636.2216 Modern Welding Company of Iowa, Inc (319) 754.6677 Modern Welding Company of California, Inc (559) 275.9353 Modern Welding Company of Georgia, Inc (706) 722.3411 FORM Glas2k%, ®1-2001 MWCO
