ADR tank special provision TE26

Flammable refrigerated liquefied gas tanks: every filling and discharge connection needs an instant-closing automatic stop-valve close to the tank.

On tanks for flammable refrigerated liquefied gases, each filling and discharge connection, vapour-phase connections included, must have an automatic stop-valve that closes instantly (see 6.8.3.2.3), placed as near the tank as it can be.
