Section 336.1606. Loading gasoline into existing stationary vessels of more than 2,000-gallon capacity at dispensing facilities handling 250,000 or more gallons per year.

(1) After June 30, 1980, it is unlawful for a person to load or allow the loading of gasoline from a delivery vessel into any existing stationary vessel of more than 2,000-gallon capacity located at a gasoline dispensing facility which is in any county listed in table 61-a and which has a throughput of 250,000 or more gallons per year, unless such stationary vessel is equipped with a permanent submerged fill pipe.

(2)   After June 30, 1981, it is unlawful for a person to load or allow the loading of gasoline from a delivery vessel into any existing stationary vessel of more than 2,000-gallon capacity located at a gasoline dispensing facility which is outside of any county listed in table 61-a and which has a throughput of 250,000 or more gallons per year, unless such stationary vessel is equipped with a permanent submerged fill pipe.

(3)    After December 31, 1982, it is unlawful for a person to load or allow the loading of gasoline from a delivery vessel into any existing stationary vessel of more than 2,000-gallon capacity located at a gasoline-dispensing facility which is in any area listed in table 61 and which has a throughput of 250,000 or more gallons per year, unless such stationary vessel is controlled by a vapor balance system or an equivalent control system approved by the department. The vapor balance system shall capture displaced gasoline vapor and air by means of a vaportight collection line and shall be designed to return not less than 90%, by weight, of the displaced gasoline vapor from the stationary vessel to the delivery vessel.

(4)   Any stationary vessel that is subject to the provisions of subrule (3) of this rule shall be equipped, maintained, or controlled with both of the following:

(a)    An interlocking system or procedure to ensure that the vaportight collection line is connected before any gasoline can be loaded.

(b)   A device to ensure that the vaportight collection line shall close upon disconnection so as to prevent the release of gasoline vapor.

(5)   Any delivery vessel that is subject to the provisions of subrule (3) of this rule shall be vaportight and shall be filled only at a loading facility that is equipped with a system as required by R 336.1608(3) and (4), R 336.1609(2) and (3), R 336.1705(2) and (3), or R 336.1706(2) and (3).
