TO DISPENSE FROM FUEL STATION
Before use, read and follow all safety instructions on page 2 of this user's manual.
1. Ensure fuel station is at a higher elevation than the receiving tank. Fuel is gravity dispensed
through the dispensing nozzle.
2. Attach the ground wire clip end to frame of the equipment receiving the fuel to create a bond.
Bonding will place both the fuel station and receiving equipment at the same static charge
potential.
3. Slowly open the ll cap's manual vent screw to release any internal pressure. After releasing
pressure, open ball valve by turning the handle clockwise. The ball valve handle should be in-line
with the valve body.
4. Place the dispensing nozzle into the receiving fuel tank. The dispensing nozzle must remain inside
the receiving tank during the entire ll process.
5. Remove the locking clip from the dispensing nozzle. Squeeze dispensing nozzle handle to begin
ow, release to stop. Monitor ow and liquid levels to prevent spills and overlling.

HOW TO COMPLY WITH §178.604 AND §173.28
PRODUCTION TESTING AND REUSE
The fuel station user or third party should complete the inspection and leak-proof test prior to reuse.
Inspection for evidence of a reduction in structural integrity. This is determined by the person
doing the inspection. It is suggested the person inspect for ruptures, creases, cracks, corrosion, bent
llerneck,damagedcap,and/orbrokencapvalve.Fillcapsandcomponentsmaybereplaced.Do
not recondition or use if the tank has a reduction in structural integrity after inspection.
Leakproofness testing. Perform on an empty JDI-FST15 tank only. Apply a 3.0 psi air pressure and
using a test method per Appendix to Part 178 – Alternate Leakproofness Test Methods. Acceptable
methodsinclude:
1) Pressuredifferentialtestbyholdingforsufcienttimetodetermineifthereisachangein
pressure.
2) Solution over seams test by coating all seams and welds with a soapy water solution and
holdingforasufcientperiodoftimetodetermineifairisleaking.
Apackagepassestheleakprooftestifthereisnoleakageofairaftersufcienttimeafterestablishing
3.0psiinsidethetank.Typically,30-60secondsisasufcientamountoftime.
Marking to indicate successfully-passed inspection and leakproofness test. Mark the packaging
with the letter “L”, the name and address or symbol of the person conducting the test, and the last
two digits of the year the test was conducted. Symbols, if used, must be registered with the Associate
Administrator.
Equipment. A Leakproofness Test Kit, JDI-FST15-TK2, for model JDI-FST15 is available from
JohnDow Industries. The kit includes the necessary test equipment, instructions, and blank marking
labelstowriteonandafxtothetank.
Model JDI-FST15 is a DOT approved packaging for the transport of UN 1203, Gasoline, Packing
Group II. The marking plate on the product designates the packaging was tested including leakproof-
nesstestingper49CFR§178.604duringproductionbeforebeingrstusedintransportation.
However, in order to assure the integrity and performance of the packaging, 49 CFR §178.604 also
requires production testing prior to reuse per 49 CFR §173.28. §173.38 requires inspection for a re-
duction in integrity, leakproofness testing, and marking.
