10.

Close emergency valve A (25) and monitor gage (35) on regulator assembly (12).

11.

Wait 5 minutes. If pressure does not drop more than 0.5 in. wc on gage (35), go to step 13. If

pressure drops more than 0.5 in. wc, go to step 12.

12.

Locate the leak in vapor vent line (10), check vapor vent hood (7), vapor vent hose (32), and pipe

joints (33).

13.

assembly (12).

16.

On regulatory assembly (12), close draincock valve (20) and monitor gage (35) for 5 minutes.

17.

If pressure on gage (35) does not increase, vapor vent is functional; go to step 20. If vacuum

increases more than 0.5 in. wc, vapor vent valve is leaking. Go to step 18.

18.

Return tank and piping system to atmospheric pressure by opening G valve (28) and emergency

valve A (25).
