# §29.1015. Oil tank tests.


Each oil tank must be designed and installed so that—

- (a) It can withstand, without failure, any vibration, inertia, and fluid loads to which it may be subjected in operation; and
- (b) It meets the requirements of [§ 29.965](/cfr/14/29.965.md), except that instead of the pressure specified in [§ 29.965(b)](/cfr/14/29.965.md?p=b)—
  - (1) For pressurized tanks used with a turbine engine, the test pressure may not be less than 5 p.s.i. plus the maximum operating pressure of the tank; and
  - (2) For all other tanks, the test pressure may not be less than 5 p.s.i.
