(2) Delivery vessels must comply with all requirements described in the 40 CFR part 60 , appendix A, method 27, adopted by reference in R 336.1902.
(3) The owner of any delivery vessel that is subject to subrule (1) of this rule shall test the delivery vessel in accordance with 40 CFR part 60 , appendix A, method 27, within 1 year after the date of the previous test. Notification of the exact time and location of the test must be given to the department, in writing, not less than 7 days before the actual test. If the time or location of the test changes for any reason, then the owner or operator shall notify the department as soon as practical.
(4) The test must comply with documentation requirements described in 40 CFR part 60 , appendix A, method 27 and be submitted to the department within 30 days after the test completion and in a form acceptable to the department. Upon successful completion of the required testing, the vessel is provisionally certified providing the department does not invalidate the certification by issuing disapproval within 45 days after receipt of the results.
(5) There must be no visible liquid leaks from the vessel or collection system, except when the disconnection of dry breaks in liquid lines produces a few drops of liquid.
(6) A person shall not operate any vapor collection system, either vapor balance or recovery system, required by R 336.1606, R 336.1607, R 336.1608, and R 336.1609 unless the provisions of subrules (7) to (11) of this rule are met.
(7) There must be no gas detector reading greater than or equal to 100% of the lower explosive limit at a distance of 1 inch from the location of the potential leak in the vapor collection system. Leaks must be detected by a combustible gas detector using the test procedure described in R 336.2005.
(8) There must be no visible leaks, except from the disconnection of bottom loading dry breaks and from raising top loading vapor heads, where a few drops are allowed.
(9) The vapor collection system must be designed and operated to prevent gauge pressure in the delivery vessel from exceeding 0.6 pounds per square inch and to prevent vacuum from exceeding -0.2 pounds per square inch gauge.
(10) The department may require the owner or operator of any vapor collection system subject to the provisions of subrule (6) of this rule to test the system in accordance with R 336.2005. The tests must be conducted within 60 days following receipt of written notification from the department. Notification of the exact time and location of the test must be given to the department, in writing, not less than 7 days before the actual test. Documentation of the test that states the date and location of the test, test procedures, the type of equipment used, and the results of the test must be submitted to the department within 60 days following the last date of the test. If the time or location of the test changes for any reason, then the owner or operator shall notify the department as soon as practical.
(11) Any delivery vessel or component of a vapor collection system that fails to meet any provision of this rule must not be operated until the necessary repairs have been made, the vessel or collection system has been retested, and the test results have been submitted to the department.
