TS-LLD Line Leak Tests:
Type and Frequency
Two line leak tests can be started from the keypad, they are the 0.2 gph and the 0.1 gph
test. Some jurisdictions recommend that a 0.1 gph annual precision line leak test be run
yearly. (The 0.2 gph test runs automatically on a daily basis. The coarse 3 gph line test
runs automatically after every dispense). State and local regulations may require more
frequent tests and inspections. Make sure
your site personnel are aware of all of the
issues and requirements for compliance with these 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.
