serious injury or death to personnel. Also included are explanations of safety and hazardous materials icons used

within this technical manual.

SPECIFIC WARNING PRECAUTIONS

The tank is a permit required confined space. Do not enter to clean or for any other

reason. Sludge that accumulates in the bottom of the fuel tank gives off toxic and

explosive vapors. Inhaling these vapors is harmful to personnel. Death or serious injury

may occur if warning is not followed due to lack of oxygen.

Tank entry is restricted to authorized maintenance personnel only. Should tank condition

arise, which would require tank entry, notify your supervisor. Failure to heed this warning

can cause injury to personnel.

Do not smoke or bring open flame within 100 feet (30.48 meters) of tank. Death or serious

injury may occur if warning is not followed.

If fuel spil ls on or around a tank within the diked area, shutdown any nearby engine-driven

equipment. Do not resume operation until it has been determined that the vapor

concentrations are below the explosive range. Death or serious injury may occur if

warning is not followed.

All petroleum products contain additives that may be harmful to personnel and the

environment. All leaks must be corrected as soon as possible. Wash fuel or oil from skin

immediately. Remove and wash contaminated clothing immediately. Spills of fuel or oil

must be cleaned up in accordance with local area direction to prevent harm to personnel

or damage to the environment.

Fuel and fuel sludge can cause injury to skin and eyes. If fuel or sludge comes into contactwith eyes, flush eyes with water. For further information on first aid, refer to FM 21-11.

Serious injury may occur if warning is not followed.

Do not carry or store anything edible near tank. Food will absorb vapors. After leaving

area, wash before eating or smoking. Death or serious injury may occur if warning is not

followed.

Do not deploy the tank system on a slope greater than 1%. Personnel injury or

equipment damage may occur.

Do not locate tank system near electrical equipment, power generation or power

distribution equipment. Electrical shock, death or equipment damage may result (if the

tank ruptures).

CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)

Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion

problems with this be reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the

problem in future items.

Corrosion specifically occurs with metals. It is an electrochemical process that causes the degradation of metals. It is

commonly caused by exposure to moisture, acids, bases, or salts. An example is the rusting of iron. Corrosion

damage in metals can be seen, depending on the metal, as tarnishing, pitting, fogging, surface residue, and/or

cracking.

Plastics, composites, and rubbers can also degrade. Degradation is caused by thermal (heat), oxidation (oxygen),

solvation (solvents), or photolytic (light, typically UV) processes. The most common exposures are excessive heat or

light. Damage from these processes will appear as cracking, softening, swelling, and/or breaking.

SF Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Reportshould be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 750-8, The

Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual.

DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIAL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE

ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE

Construction of Berm

WARNINGWARNING

Make certain that the berm ball valve is closed and locked after installing and draining the

berm. In the event of tank rupture, an open berm ball valve would permit fuel to drain from

the berm. Undetected fuel leakage can result in an explosion and cause death, severe

personal injury, and damage to equipment.

CAUTIONCAUTION

Damage to tank may occur if chosen site is not free of sharp objects (rocks, sticks, glass,

etc.), and center of leveled area should not exceed 9.0-inches below ground level. Retain

a slight incline for draining surface water. Safety berms must have capacities of not less

than one and one-half times that of the tank capacities. Failure to construct a secure

safety berm may result in catastrophic damage.

NOTE

A minimum of 21.0-foot working clearance is necessary between the side of the tank and

the berm on all four sides. When a single berm is used to contain more than one tank,

maintain a 10.0-foot space between tanks. The installation site should have less than a

1-inch or 20-inch rise in 100 feet in order to prevent creeping of the tank. The site must not

be subject to flooding or high water.

If possible, provide a 4.0-inch thick sand bottom for all collapsible fuel storage tanks. To

provide a berm drain for all collapsible fuel storage tanks, place a 2.0-inch pipe with a ball

valve through the bottom of the discharge end of the berm in order to provide a means of

draining accumulated water. Position the drain assembly at the lowest point of the slope to

aid in draining water or sludge. The ball valve should be normally closed, and opened onlyto drain water from the bermed area.

1. Clear and level an area so there is at least a 21-foot wide perimeter around empty flat tank (Figure 1

and Figure 2).

2. Erect a 5-foot high berm around outside of sloped area. Protect berm walls against erosion with sod or

stone (Figure 3).
