11、 and transfer or dispensing of specific liquid classes or typestypically used in commercial applications. The basic types of portable containment products with summaryof their intended applications and unique features are:a) Portable Collection Container for Used Motor Oil are vessels up to 60 gal w
12、ith singlecompartments, and are provided with at least 2 wheels and (depending on capacity),attachments for hand pulling or machine towing, and a means to transfer liquids via hose bypumps powered by hand or battery. These products are intended for only motor oils or similarClass IIIB liquids, and a
13、re intended for attended use by trained employees at businesseslicensed for oil collection. These products are not intended for vehicle transport, outdoorstorage, or use as hand-held fuel cans, safety cans or special-purpose containers that havedifferent applications and/or liquid ratings;b) Portabl
14、e Dispensing Containers are vessels up to 60 gal with single compartments, and areprovided with at least 2 wheels, attachments for transport, and a means to transfer liquids viahose by gravity feed or hand pump. These products are intended for general use fuels orsimilar liquids, and are rated for e
15、ither flammable and combustible liquids or only combustibleliquids.
