Section 5: Maintenance and Repair
Inspections
The actual service life of a BATT will depend on the completeness and quality of meeting operational and
maintenance requirements.
Daily Inspection
Visual inspections of the outside surface of the tank shell, tank harness, vent fittings and fill/drain fittings
should be conducted on a daily basis or performed every time a BATT tank is used.
1.
Inspect the outer tank shell for signs of wear and tear, damages, leaks and excessive surface con-
tamination. If contamination is found, the tank should be cleaned with mild soap and water. Con-
tamination with spilled fuel must be cleaned as soon as possible. If repairs are required, see
Repairs
in this manual.
2.
Inspect the tank harness for signs of wear and tear, damages and contamination. Special attention
should be paid to the sewing on stitches and the serviceability of strap fittings. Webbing straps
that have been contaminated with a substance (e.g. oil, grease, fuel etc.) that could affect success-
ful tensioning should be replaced. Damaged straps must be replaced.
Warning
Never remove the flanges to extract the inner tank from the outer tank. This can only be done at
an authorized SEI service centre.
