Let’s delve a little bit into this:

For EACH black and grey tank, an evaluation is done.

  1. Tank #1 Info: How does it look, is it leaking?
  2. Tank #1 – Valve Operates:  Pulling on the valve does it work correctly?
  3. Tank #1 – Tank, Valve or Line Leaks< once closed is the valve leaking, does the lines leak?
  4. Tank #1 – Drain Cap in Place:  Is there a drain cap?  Is it missing?
  5. Tank #1 – Drain Cap Holds Water Back:  put on drain cap, open valve to let some liquid into it, does the cap leak?
  6. Tank #1 – Monitor Panel Condition:  Does the monitor panel work for this tank?
  7. Tank #1 – Monitor Reading:  What is the reading for the tank?

Next week we will check out propane leak testing and detectors(smoke, propane, CO).

See you next week 🙂
