Tank Leak Test Results Leak test results are either increase, passed, failed, or indeterminate. Reasons Why Tank Leak Tests Fail • The tank leaks. • Temperature instability – temperature variations of the product within the tank after a delivery is the most common source of interference and failed leak tests / false alarms (a failure to detect real leaks can also result). Look at the hourly temperature data on the leak test report and retest if the variation is more than a few tenths of a degree.
Reasons Why SCALD Tank Tests may Fail • Temperature • If a site is receiving deliveries frequently and the temperature of the fuel being delivered is several degrees different then the fuel in the tank, then SCALD will not be able to collect QIs due to thermal instability. The temperature of the fuel can not change more than .01°F during a 20 min QI. • If a pump control relay is stuck closed and the pump is running all of the time, the temperature in the tank can be much higher than the other tanks.
Manually Forcing Line Leak Tests Lines MUST be calibrated and enabled prior to forcing leak tests. 1. To force a Line Leak test, press the FMS button in the Application Window. 2. Press the Application Menu button. 4. The FMS Control Menu will display the systems available for testing. To view control options for the tanks system, press the Lines button. 5. On the FMS Line Control Screen, press the button that corresponds with the tank to be tested. 3. Select the Control button in the FMS Menu. 6.
