A tank with a capacity of 10 and 330 gallons, having two bottom openings for fuel supply, must be arranged in what manner?

Having a tank that is pitched toward the opening with a slope of not less than 1/4 inch is essential for ensuring proper drainage of fuel and preventing sediment accumulation at the bottom of the tank. This configuration helps direct any residual fuel towards the supply openings, improving the efficiency of fuel extraction and minimizing the potential for clogging or contamination.

When a tank has multiple bottom openings, proper sloping towards the supply lines allows for effective utilization of the entire tank capacity, ensuring that fuel can flow out smoothly without stagnation. Additionally, it reduces the risks of hazards like fuel overflow or leaks due to the buildup of fluids in areas where they cannot freely drain.

Positioning the tank level with the ground or pitching it away from the opening can lead to pooling of fuel and sediment, which could hinder fuel delivery and potentially damage the equipment or create safety hazards. Vertical alignment alone does not address the need for effective drainage, which is critical for the operational integrity of the tank.
