5.3.1 Tank
The gas-, odour- and pressure-tight tank is made of resistant polyethylene. The tank has all nec-
essary ports for the connection of inlet pipes, outlet pipe, vent pipe and a manually operated dia-
phragm pump available as an accessory.
Inside the tank the two pump connections are connected to a suction bend enabling suction from
the bottom. As a result, the residual volume is reduced to a minimum.
The table below shows the tank volume and the effective volume. The effective volume is the vol-
ume between start and stop.
