183.588 - Slosh test
A fuel tank is tested by performing the
following procedures in the following order:
(a) Perform the static pressure test under
Sec. 183.580. |
If the tank has a rated capacity of 200 gallons
or more, and it has passed the pressure impulse test in 183.586,
then it must be subjected to the slosh test.
First, it must pass the static pressure test
(see 183.580). This could be the
same static pressure test used at the end of the pressure
impulse 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.
