3.2 Materials. Materials shall be as specified herein and in referenced specifications,
standards, and drawings. Material shall be free of defects which adversely affect performance or
appearance of the finished product (see 4.1). Asbestos, cadmium, and radioactive material shall
not be used in this item. Radioactive material is defined by 10CFR30, 10CFR40, and other
radioactive material in which the specific activity is greater than 0.002 microcuries per gram or
the activity per item equals or exceeds 0.01 microcuries.
3.2.1 Recycled, recovered, or environmentally preferable materials. Recycled,
recovered, or environmentally preferable materials should be used to the maximum extent
possible, provided that the material meets or exceeds the operational and maintenance
requirements, and promotes economically advantageous life cycle costs (see 6.8).
3.3 Construction/configuration. (See 4.1.)
3.3.1 Basic construction. The basic construction is essentially a low profile bulkhaul
semitrailer with a stainless steel, single compartment tank, of 5000-gallon capacity, plus
3 percent capacity provided for expansion of the fuel. Provisions shall be made for automatic
bottom-loading, using an adapter which operates in an environment where the temperature is
-25 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to +125 °F, having an automatic overflow shutoff device and gravity
discharge capability. The tanker shall be provided with a manhole on top to facilitate inspection,
cleaning and fuel loading. The tank shell assembly shall also conform to all other DoT 406
requirements from 49CFR178.345 and 49CFR178.346, such as structural rigidity, baffles,
accident and damage protection, venting, and shell thickness. The tanker shall be equipped with
radial tires which conform to SAE J1315 and SAE J2013, a fuel capacity measuring device and a
vapor recovery system/kit. The end adapter of the vapor recovery system/kit (see figure 1) shall
be compatible with a four inch quick-disconnect field connection, such as used at fuel depots
(see 4.5.1 and 4.5.2).
