# §25.1015. Oil tank tests.


Each oil tank must be designed and installed so that—

- (a) It can withstand, without failure, each vibration, inertia, and fluid load that it may be subjected to in operation; and
- (b) It meets the provisions of [§ 25.965](/cfr/14/25.965.md), except—
  - (1) **The test pressure—**
    - (i) For pressurized tanks used with a turbine engine, may not be less than 5 p.s.i. plus the maximum operating pressure of the tank instead of the pressure specified in [§ 25.965(a)](/cfr/14/25.965.md?p=a); and
    - (ii) For all other tanks may not be less than 5 p.s.i. instead of the pressure specified in [§ 25.965(a)](/cfr/14/25.965.md?p=a); and
  - (2) The test fluid must be oil at 250 °F. instead of the fluid specified in [§ 25.965(c)](/cfr/14/25.965.md?p=c).
