Section 170.427  Defective or Non-Compliant Equipment

a)         Failed precision tank or line tests and defective tank or line leak detection equipment will require that particular tank system to be shut down until repaired and functioning properly.  Another approved method of leak detection may be implemented if approved by OSFM on an interim basis.

b)         For defective or improperly operating equipment, such as, but not limited to, spill, overfill and cathodic protection, repairs shall commence, or the equipment shall be replaced, within 48 hours from the time of discovery.  Failure to act within this time frame will require the tank system to be taken out of service until repairs are completed.
