However, in the long run, the benefits to be realized from regulating slip tanks are expected to equal or exceed any associated costs.

So he stored it in the slip tank in the basement of the clay room.

Joy had called it the slip tank.

-the new shape or glaze would be good for nothing but the shard pile back of his slip tanks.

Currently, slip tanks constructed after July 1, 1996 have to be in compliance with one of three specifications when used to transport gasoline:

Non-specification slip tanks between 600 L and 750 L are frequently used to transport diesel fuel.

The former safety standard CGSB-43.146 does not specifically address containers, commonly referred to as slip tanks that are mounted on a pick-up truck.

The TDG Directorate will be considering options to facilitate the implementation of safety standards associated with slip tanks.

This revision is largely a consequence of accidents in Alberta and Quebec involving buses and trucks with slip tanks that resulted in several fatalities.

Therefore, these new requirements mean that every large portable refueling tank or slip tank built after 2002 must be a UN standard mobile IBC.

Concern was expressed with regulating large portable refueling tanks or slip tanks (mobile IBCs) that are used to transport petroleum products, especially diesel fuel.

For example, slip tanks certified by Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada (ULC) to their standard may continue to be used until December 31, 2009.

The impact to their industries would have been significant, including additional training costs, considerable increase in the amount of documentation that would have to be maintained, and industry’s use of slip tanks.

The most popular slip tank for gasoline in use appears to be a non-specification tank with a capacity of just under 450 L. ULC tanks are the most popular for transporting gasoline over 450L.

The revised CGSB-43.146 addresses large portable refueling tanks or slip tanks (mobile IBCs) that are commonly mounted on a pick-up truck that are used to transport petroleum products such as gasoline and diesel fuel.

In addition, provisions have been introduced to temper the impact on owners and users of these mobile IBCs by, for example, permitting the use of certain alternative types of containers (ULC slip tanks), allowing periodic inspection every five years instead of every 30 months, and eliminating the leak test.
