Initial Operation
Caution Initial filling of the tank must be at a reduced rate of flow, until the float travel
and dial operation are verified. This checks that the 2500 ATG was installed correctly and
prevents possible damage to the gauge system.
Floating Roof Tanks: On floating roof tanks
this is particularly important because the tape travel has not been checked during the
installation.
