The longie fuel drum, P/N 13216E9172 (fig. 1-1) is a durable, nonvented collaps- ible container that is designed for a working pressure of 4 to 5 psi (pounds/square inch) (0.3 to 0.4 kg/cm) and a maximum pressure of 45 psi (3.17 kg/sq cm). When filled to its 500 gallon (1893 liter) capacity, the drum is cylindrical in shape with rounded ends. It can be towed, at speeds not to exceed 10 mph (miles/hour) (16 km/hr), for short distances over smooth terrain, using the towing and lifting yoke. The drum fabric is impregnated with fuel resistance synthetic rubber. The front and rear clo- sure plates are connected by a network of wire ropes (3 ea) that form an interior support for the drum. The front closure plate has a threaded coupler valve assembly. When the drum is collapsed, it can be folded to permit transportation by cargo truck. b. Shortie Fuel Drum. The shortie drum, P/N 13216E9170 (fig. 1-1) also has a capacity of 500 gallons (1893 liters). the drum being larger in diameter than the longie drum, P/N 13216E9172. The interior construc- tions of the short drum is identical to that of the longer drum, except that the three wire ropes used to form the interior support are shorter. The shortie drum may be towed, handled, and when empty, folded in the same manner as the longie drum. c. DELETED d. Accessory Items. (1) Towing and Lifting Yoke. A towing and lifting yoke (fig. 1-3) can be attached to the ends of the 500 gal- lon (1893 liter) fuel drums and the 250 gallon (946 liter) water drum for use in towing and lifting the drums. (2) Tiedown Kit. A tiedown kit (fig. 1-4) is used to secure drums when they are being transported by cargo truck. (3) Repair Kits. The repair kits (figs. 1-5 and 1-6) are furnished for emergency use only to prevent leakage until the operator can empty the drums. When these kits are used to make such emergency repairs. the repaired drum should not be moved, towed, lifted or transported until it is completely empty. (4) Pressure Control. When filling the 500 gallon (1893 liter) fuel drums, a pressure control (fig. 1-7) is attached between the pump assembly and the drum dur- ing filling operation. The purpose of the pressure con- trol is to automatically shut off the flow of fuel to the drum when the internal pressure of the drum is 4 to 5 psi (0.3 to 0.4 kg/sq cm). The automatic action will prevent over filling the drum and insure its acceptability for high altitude air transport. 1-2
