Tank integrity testing shall meet the requirements of section 2643(f) and shall be conducted using one of the two methods in subsections (a) or (b) below.

(a) A volumetric tank integrity test shall be capable of detecting a release of 0.1 gallon per hour from any portion of the tank when the tank is at least 65% full of product or at any product level if the product-filled portion of the tank is tested under pressure equivalent to that of a full tank. If any volumetric tank integrity test is conducted at a product level lower than the overfill protection device set point, a test meeting the requirements of subsection (b) must be used to test the ullage portion of the tank.
(b) A nonvolumetric tank integrity test shall be capable of detecting a release of 0.1 gallon per hour from any portion of the tank at any product level.
