FEDERAL LAW

183.550 - Fuel tanks: Installation

(b) Each fuel tank must not move at the mounting surface more than one-fourth inch in any direction.

The basic intent of this requirement is to restrict the movement of an installed fuel tank with respect to its mounting surfaces to a minimum amount. No movement would be best. To establish a quantitative test, one-fourth inch in any direction has been selected.

TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW

  • The tank cannot move more than one-fourth inch in any direction, measured at its mounting surface when force is applied in the forward, aft, port, starboard, and vertical directions.
