i At least once per 31 days by checking for and removing accumulated c.

water from the fuel oil storage tanks; d.

By sampling new fuel oil in accordance with the applicable ASTM standard prior to addition to storage tanks and:

1.

By verifying in accordance with the tests specified in the applicable ASTM standard prior to addition to the storage tanks that the sample has:

An API Gravity of within 0.3 degrees at 60*F or a a.

specific gravity of within 0.0016 at 60/60*F, wnen compared to the supplier's certificate, or an absolute specific gravity at 60/60*F of greater than or equal to 0.83 but less than or equal to 0.89, or an API gravity of greater than or equal to 27 degrees but less than or equal to 39 degrees; b.
