Appendix C within 60 months of the original date
of manufacture, and every 60 months or less
thereafter.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The tank owner/user is fully responsible for the

The test must show no defects that could render
the tank unsafe for transporting dangerous
goods. A tank having defects must be repaired,
re-inspected, and leak tested. A tank that fails
the test and is not repaired must have any
specification marks removed or obliterated and
the tank identified as unfit for dangerous goods
service.
After the tank passes the test and inspection,
obtain a copy of the leak test record from the
testing facility and retain it until the next required
leak test and inspection.
