Rule 627.
(1) A
				person shall not operate any delivery vessel that is subject to control by a
				vapor collection system, either vapor balance or recovery system, required by
				R 336.1606,
				R 336.1607,
				R 336.1608, or
				R 336.1609 unless all of the
				provisions of this rule are met.
(2) Delivery vessels must comply with all
				requirements described in the 40 CFR part 60 , appendix A, method 27, adopted
				by reference in R
				336.1902.
(3) The owner of any delivery vessel that is
				subject to subrule (1) of this rule shall test the delivery vessel in
				accordance with 40 CFR part 60 , appendix A, method 27, within 1 year after the
				date of the previous test. Notification of the exact time and location of the
				test must be given to the department, in writing, not less than 7 days before
				the actual test. If the time or location of the test changes for any reason,
				then the owner or operator shall notify the department as soon as
				practical.
(4) The test must comply
				with documentation requirements described in 40 CFR part 60 , appendix A,
				method 27 and be submitted to the department within 30 days after the test
				completion and in a form acceptable to the department. Upon successful
				completion of the required testing, the vessel is provisionally certified
				providing the department does not invalidate the certification by issuing
				disapproval within 45 days after receipt of the results.
(5) There must be no visible liquid leaks
				from the vessel or collection system, except when the disconnection of dry
				breaks in liquid lines produces a few drops of liquid.
(6) A person shall not operate any vapor
				collection system, either vapor balance or recovery system, required by
				R 336.1606,
				R 336.1607,
				R 336.1608, and
				R 336.1609 unless the provisions of
				subrules (7) to (11) of this rule are met.
(7) There must be no gas detector reading
				greater than or equal to 100% of the lower explosive limit at a distance of 1
				inch from the location of the potential leak in the vapor collection system.
				Leaks must be detected by a combustible gas detector using the test procedure
				described in R
				336.2005.
(8) There must be no visible leaks, except
				from the disconnection of bottom loading dry breaks and from raising top
				loading vapor heads, where a few drops are allowed.
(9) The vapor collection system must be
				designed and operated to prevent gauge pressure in the delivery vessel from
				exceeding 0.6 pounds per square inch and to prevent vacuum from exceeding -0.2
				pounds per square inch gauge.
(10)
				The department may require the owner or operator of any vapor collection system
				subject to the provisions of subrule (6) of this rule to test the system in
				accordance with R 336.2005.
				The tests must be conducted within 60 days following receipt of written
				notification from the department. Notification of the exact time and location
				of the test must be given to the department, in writing, not less than 7 days
				before the actual test. Documentation of the test that states the date and
				location of the test, test procedures, the type of equipment used, and the
				results of the test must be submitted to the department within 60 days
				following the last date of the test. If the time or location of the test
				changes for any reason, then the owner or operator shall notify the department
				as soon as practical.
(11) Any
				delivery vessel or component of a vapor collection system that fails to meet
				any provision of this rule must not be operated until the necessary repairs
				have been made, the vessel or collection system has been retested, and the test
				results have been submitted to the department.
