Non-Class HoseThe hose ran from the Low Temperature Cooling Tank to the top of the MSD.
The T fitting is shown in the picture connected.
To put the T in the crew would have had to cut the air vent lines that keep continues pressure between the two tanks in the MSD.
MSD Pollution Case – OCT 10
Low Temp Cooling TankTracing the hose led to the LT Cooling Tank.
You can see the vent for the tank on top. The rubber hose runs several flats down to the MSD.
Normally LT Cooling Tank overflow would flow down to the Bilge Holding Tank.
The LT Cooling Tank services the jacket water cooling.
