§ 4012.2. N. Notes.

N.1. Test Liquid. Water or light fuel oil shall be used as the test liquid for a liquefied petroleum gas tank.

N.2. Evaporation and Volume Change. Care shall be exercised to reduce to a minimum, evaporation losses and volume changes resulting from changes in temperature of the test liquid.

N.3. Gaging. When a liquefied petroleum gas tank is gaged to determine the proper position for an indicator or to determine what a capacity marking should be, tolerances are not applicable. The indicator shall be set and the tank capacity shall be marked as accurately as practicable.

This requirement applies to new liquefied petroleum gas tanks or following repairs or modifications that might affect tank capacities.

N.4. Adjustment and Remarking. When a liquefied petroleum gas tank is found upon test to have an error in excess of the applicable tolerance, the capacity of the liquefied petroleum gas tank shall be adjusted to agree with its marked capacity, or its marked capacity shall be changed to agree with its capacity as determined by the test.

N.5. Inspection. Weights and measures officials shall not inspect or certify liquefied petroleum gas liquid measuring devices until:

(a) A certificate of inspection covering such equipment has been issued by the Division of Industrial Safety, Department of Industrial Relations of the State of California; or

(b) In the case of equipment requiring inspection by the United States Department of Transportation, a certificate has been issued by that agency applicable to such equipment; or until

(c) Bonafide evidence has been presented that such inspection has been requested of the proper agency by the owner or operator of the equipment, and written permission from the proper agency has been received by him to operate the equipment until the requested inspection has been made. The provisions of this section shall not apply to marine terminals, natural gasoline plants, oil refineries or oil tank farms.
