Guidance on implementing the approved requirements of the dual regulatory sets - cited within - applicable to mobile containers carrying petrol from one terminal to another or from a terminal to a service station. They pointedly give a minimum specification for bottom loading and vapour recovery systems to ensure compatibility between road tanker equipment and the installation at terminals and service stations.

Accordingly this examines subjects like the designs of the liquid loading and discharge and vapour recovery systems. Also covers the critical issues of overfill detection, vehicle earth, location of adapters and connector, safety interlocks and emergency shut off valves. Styled presentation (eg bold, italics, margin coding) enables easy distinction between texts pertaining to the regulatory sets and the Approved Requirements guidance.
