(2) 
Cap or plug the fill line, gauge opening and pump suction, using appropriate sealing compound on pipe fittings. If fill line and gauge opening are equipped with caps which can be properly locked, the secure locking of these caps is sufficient.
(3) 
Leave the vent line open.
B. 
Abandoned tanks. Tanks which are no longer in service may be rendered "temporarily out-of-service" pending their removal in accordance with the procedure outlined in Subsection E.
