[QUOTE="Munkul, post: 8055920, member: 73308"] I think I can weigh in here, pressure vessels are part of my day job :) The Pressure Equipment Directive PED (now PESR post brexit) applies when building these tankers, but the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR) do not apply, Schedule 1, regulation 3(2) point (19) specifically excludes slurry tankers. So, no [B]formal [/B]periodic inspection by competent person. Just the[B] informal[/B] inspection by the user, making sure it's not about to fail altogether. You just have to maintain it to a good enough standard to prevent harm to anyone in the event of a foreseeable failure. In this case, the OP is savvy enough to have carried out his informal inspection (ie he used his eyes!) and spotted a problem indicating it IS going to fail in the somewhat near future. I would respectfully suggest he stops using it and gets another tanker. If it fails at a bad time and causes damage to people/property through leaking/spraying slurry everywhere, or whatever, he's directly liable for that. If it's not leaving his property and can only leak onto his own fields, then probably no harm done... but why delay the inevitable? Why would you wait into it's totally unusable and you have a load of slurry to spread, before looking around for a replacement? It's just common sense IMO. [/QUOTE]
