183.518 - Fuel tank openings
Each opening into the fuel tank must
be at or above the topmost surface of the tank.
|
Fuel tank openings refer to holes into which
fittings may be installed or fuel lines attached. Fuel tank
fill, fuel tank vent, fuel distribution, fuel tank sounding,
and fuel level sender fitting accesses are examples of such
openings. If the attachment fitting is welded or attached
by other non-removable means to the fuel tank, the opening
is considered at the top of the attachment. The sketches below
clarify this interpretation.
