Tank Leak Tests – Type and Frequency
Two standard leak tests can be started from the keypad, they are the 0.2 gph and the 0.1
gph test. Federal, State and local codes and regulatory agencies specify how often to run
these tests. Consult and comply with these rules and regulations.
CAUTION It is the tank owner’s obligation to comply with the procedures and the
reporting requirements of federal, state and local regulations. Your are legally bound to
follow these explicitly. Where they conflict with this manual, follow the regulations.
Requirements ✎ ✓
Before Starting a Standard (static) Tank Leak Test
❐
Printout a leak test Estimate Report (Key strokes: REPORT — TEST — M1 ) .
❐
Is there enough quiet time to finish the test ? (of no product dispensing) .
(Note: a 10,000 gallon tank requires about 5 or 6 hours to finish)
❐
Wait at least 6 hours after a product delivery – or – 2 hours after a product dispense
(Active tanks without Stage II vapor recovery may require longer stabilization periods).
INCON does not recommend running both Line & Tank Leak Tests at the same time.
When to Run Tank Leak Tests
1) To comply with Federal, State, and local Regulatory Agency requirements.
2) To comply with the policy and procedures at your site.
3) Whenever a leak detection sensor alarms. This is especially important when a
discriminating BriteSensor detects a liquid / vapor hydrocarbon (product)... a failed leak
test and BriteSensor product alarm indicates a tank or product-line leak.
Standard / product alarms may be caused by motor oil runoff during heavy rains, or because
a BriteSensor has actually detected a product leak from a tank. Take a sample from the
area for chemical analysis.
