Re: [MW:23741] Leak test for HSD Fuel Tank

Dear Winarko,

As per API 650, Please refer the alternative testing If sufficient water not available in the article 7.3.5 testing of shell, point no -2.

"2. If sufficient water to fill the tank is not available, the tank may be tested by (1) painting all of the joints on the inside with a

highly penetrating oil, such as automobile spring oil, and carefully examining the outside of the joints for leakage; (2)

applying vacuum to either side of the joints or applying internal air pressure as specified for the roof test in 7.3.7 and carefully

examining the joints for leakage; or (3) using any combination of the methods stipulated in 7.3.5, Subitems 1 and 2.

Regards,

Oarag.
