183.586 - Pressure impulse test

(g) Perform the static pressure test under Sec. 183.580.

When the fuel tank cycling of the pressure impulse test is completed, subject it to the static pressure test as a verification that the tank does not leak. If any leakage is found, the tank has failed the test.

This test is construed to be a destructive test and a fuel tank subjected to this test should not be installed in a boat.
