9.4. FILLING TANKS (IN GENERAL) <br />9.4.1. Never overfill the tank. <br />9.4.2. If pump -filling or pressure -filling a tank, owner/operator <br />must take precautions to prevent overpressurization. <br />A WARNING <br />Overpressurizing the tank could result in tank failure, and could <br />result in death or serious injury. <br />A WARNING <br />If a tank does not have overfill protection, the vent must be <br />unrestricted and the vent size must be equal to or greaterthan the <br />fill. Failure to follow this warning could result in death or serious <br />injury. <br />9.5. FILLING UL-LABELED/ULC-LABELED TANKS <br />A WARNING <br />Pump -filling or pressure -filling of the tank is not <br />recommended because an overfill or overpressurization <br />could occur. Overfilling the tank while under pressure <br />could cause tank failure even if the tank is vented <br />properly. Failure to follow this warning could result in <br />tank failure, and could result in death or serious injury. <br />9.5.1. Each time the tank is filled, the tank owner or operator must <br />make sure the tank is properly vented. See section 7. <br />9.5.2. The tank owner or operator must determine whether the tank <br />has overfill protection, such as an automatic shut-off device (fill pipe <br />flappervalve) orvent-restriction device (ball -float valve), which will close <br />off the internal piping and reduce the tank's capacity. <br />• If a tank has a vent -restriction device (ball -float valve), <br />we recommend that the tank be gravity -filled only. <br />• The tank owner or operator must notify whoever fills the tank if the <br />tank has overfill protection, which reduces the tank's capacity. <br />• Before each tank filling, the tank owner or operator or the delivery <br />service must determine the tank's reduced capacity due <br />to the overfill protection. <br />• Then, the tank owner or operator or the delivery service must consult <br />the instructions or guidelines provided by the installer <br />and manufacturer of the overfill -protection device to <br />determine how much additional product the tank can hold. <br />9.5.3. The tank owner or operator must ensure that the fill line and <br />drop tube are adequately grounded to prevent static discharge during <br />filling. <br />9.5.4. Initial fill rate should be controlled to limit the possibility <br />of product sloshing. <br />10: DOCUMENT REVIEW <br />10.1. INSTALLATION MANUAL <br />10.1.1. After installation, tank installer must deliverthe following to the <br />tank owner and keep a copy of each: <br />• the Installation Manual <br />• completed Tank Installation Checklist <br />10.1.2. After installation, tank owner must retain: <br />• the Installation Manual forfuture reference to and compliance <br />with operating guidelines, <br />• theTank Installation Checklist <br />• the limited warranty <br />• any written waivers applicable to these instructions. <br />10.2.
