Paragraph 16

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

The driver of a road tanker shall ensure that petrol from a single compartment of the tank of that road tanker is not delivered into more than one storage tank unless—

(a)

each of the storage tanks into which the petrol is to be delivered can safely receive all of the petrol remaining in the compartment;

(b)

either the foot valve or the faucet valve for the compartment can be operated from on top of the tank of the road tanker and dipping of the compartment is carried out on a continual basis; or

(c)

other effective and reliable mechanical or other measures are taken to prevent overfilling of each of the storage tanks concerned.
