f) Excessive Fuel Tank Pressure. This paragraph applies to tactical transport vehicles, and
is intended to reduce the possibility of fuel spillage due to fuel tank over filling and
subsequent fuel explosion, regardless of fuel type.
(1) If the fuel tank filler cap is a relief valve type, but does not bear a warning
decal reading "Pressurized: Open Slowly", the warning note "Pressure: Open
Slowly" will be marked in 1 inch white letters on the cap or on the fuel tank near
the filler pipe.
(2) On fuel tanks, where a mark would be readily visible, measure 2 inches down
from the top of the tank and mark a 1/4 x 8 inch line, with the following note in 1
inch white letters: "Caution: Do Not Fill Above This Line". See figure 12.

(3) On vehicles where a mark on the fuel tank would not be readily visible, mark
the following note in 1 inch white letters as near as possible to the filler pipes:
"Caution: Do Not Overfill-Allow for Expansion".

g) Maximum Safe Fuel Acceptance Rates. These marking instruction,-, for indicating
maximum safe fuel tank filling rates are published for the benefit and safety of personnel
concerned with refueling operations. The maximum safe fuel acceptance rate will be
marked on each fuel tank near the filler cap. When the fuel tank is enclosed the marking
will be applied on the exterior surface of the enclosure adjacent to the fuel tank Tiller cap
access cover. The marking may be applied on one, two, or three lines, dependent on
available space. When multiple lines are required the following examples will govern.
2 Lines:
Max. Safe Fuel
Accept ______GPM
3 Lines:
Max. Safe

______ GPM
(1) Refer to table B for the safe fuel acceptance rates on all vehicles. As additional
information becomes available it will be included in changes to this technical
bulletin.
(2) The marking will be in 1 inch white letters.
h) Calibration Insignia. All calibration vehicles will be marked with a calibration insignia
in the form of a decal. These decals will be applied to the upper forward corners on each
side of the M292 Expandable Van (figure 13). On other types of calibration vehicles
(vans, panel trucks, etc.), the decals will be applied in the most appropriate location on
each side, dependent on surface size, window location, and surface texture.

i) Capacity and Weight. All motorized materials handling equipment will have the
capacity marked on each side. The marking will consist of the numerals showing the
applicable pounds followed by the letters CAP. The actual weight of the equipment will
also be marked on each side, in numerals, to show the applicable pounds, followed by the
letters, MTWT. Letters and numerals will be one inch high, in the same colour as the
registration marking. Refer to figure 6.

j) Other Instructions. Other necessary technical instructions may be marked on

appropriate surfaces as required or authorized by the responsible command.
(1) Such markings will be applied in letters and numerals normally 1 inch in
height but not less than 1/2 inch.
(2) Colour of the markings will be white or black, whichever affords the greater
contrast with the surface colour. If practicable, the colour chosen will be the same
as the registration marking.
(3) Temporary instructions will be applied with removable vinyl markings or
gasoline soluble paint.
14 - Weight Classification.
a) All single vehicles with a gross weight of over 3 tons, and all trailers with a rated
payload exceeding 11/2 tons, are classified for the purpose of bridge crossing, per FM
5-36. Each single vehicle and vehicle combination has a classification number for empty,
cross-country loading, and highway loading. The classification numbers are used to
determine whether a bridge, correspondingly classified, can be safely crossed.
b) All applicable self-propelled vehicles not towing other vehicles will carry a circular
sign of 9 inch diameter with the vehicle's classification number in black on a yellow
background. This will normally be located on the front of the vehicle toward the vehicle's
right side and below the driver's line of vision.
c) All applicable self-propelled vehicles towing other vehicles will carry a sign similar in
size, design, and location except that the classification number of the vehicle combination
will be shown with the letter C in red above the number. A 6 inch yellow circle with the
basic vehicle classification number in black will be marked on the right side of the
vehicle in a conspicuous location. The towed vehicle will be similarly marked with its
basic classification number.
d) When the classification number of the vehicle is not subject to change, the marking
may be applied directly on a suitable surface. On vehicles painted in gloss colours, the
markings will be gloss yellow, Colour Chip No. 13538; gloss black, Colour Chip No.
17038; and gloss red, Colour Chip No. 11136. On vehicles painted in semi-gloss or
lusterless colours, the markings will be lusterless yellow, Colour Chip No. 33538; gloss
black, Colour Chip No. 17038 and gloss red, Colour Chip No. 11136. When the marking
is applied directly to vehicles painted in the same or similar colour, the circumference of
the circle will be outlined with a black circle .3/4, inch wide.
e) In usage's where the classification number may change, a sign kit will be utilized
which consists of a 9 inch metal disk, a retaining plate, and two sets of five different
numeral plates. By installing the retaining plate, the numeral plates will be locked in
place. The sign has black numerals on a yellow background and a red C on one side of
the retaining plate (figure 14).

h) A vehicle weight classification sign kit, as below is authorized for the replacement of
lost described herein, will be installed on the front or damaged numeral plates and
retaining of each vehicle except:
(1) All trailers.
(2) Vehicles having a gross weight of 3
(3) Vehicles having standard classification numbers higher than 99.
(4) Vehicles having rated payloads of 3/4, to 11/2 tons. This exception does not
apply to vehicles authorized for towing loads.
(5) Vehicles with fixed loads (such as tanks, self-propelled guns, etc.).
i) Front classification signs for vehicles included in h(3), (4), and (5) above will be
painted directly on the vehicle. Side classification signs, where applicable, will also be
painted directly on the vehicle.
j) These vehicle weight classification sign kits can be installed on vehicles in different
ways. For example, in the case of Cargo Truck, M211, the sign can be installed on the
brush guard, on the splash shield, or in an upright position on the fender. The choice of
method is left to the using organization.
(1) Location.
(a) The classification sign will be installed on the vehicle in one of the
following locations:
1) Right front fender.
2) Right side of brush guard.
3) Right front section of hull.
4) Right side of center front bumper splash shield.
(b) The sign will he placed below the driver's line of vision and will be
positioned so that it will not block headlamps, marker lights, blackout
lights, air intakes, etc.
(2) Installation.
(a) On brush guard.
1) Paint the long universal bracket (channel) with rust-inhibiting
enamel.
2) After the enamel has dried, position the bracket so that the two
holes in the bracket align with two bolt holes (9 o'clock and 3
o'clock positions) in the sign. Assure that the flat bearing surface
of the bracket faces toward the sign. Install one bolt (1 3/4 inches
long) 123798, one washer 138538, and one nut 120368. Turn nut
two or three turns.

3) With the bracket in a vertical position, insert it between two bars

of the brush guard at the desired location. With one hand, reach
behind the brush guard and adjust the bracket to a horizontal
position. With the other hand, install another bolt (1.3/t inches
long), washer, and nut. Tighten both bolts, but apply only enough
torque to secure the sign to brush guard. Excessive torque will
cause the sign disk to bend. Figure 14 shows the sign installed on
brush guard.

Caution: If it is found that the vehicle classification sign seriously obstructs air flow to the
radiator, as indicated by engine overheating, remove sign from brush guard and Install
sign elsewhere.
(b) On sloping fender. Install the sign as indicated in 1 and 2 below only
when the slope of the fender is less than 30' from vertical. When the slope
of the fender is more than 30' from vertical, install the sign in a vertical
position, as outlined in (c) below, to insure readability of the sign.
1) Position the sign in the desired location on the fender and, using
the sign as a template, drill two 1%2inch holes in fender to align
with bolt holes in the sign at the 9 O'clock and 3 O'clock positions.
2) Install the sign to the fender with two bolts 120741 (3/4 in.
long), two washers 138538, and two nuts 120368. Tighten bolts
securely (figure 15).

(c) In a vertical position on fender or on splash shield.

1) Alter the long universal bracket (channel) in accordance with
figure 16.

Figure 16: Alteration of brackets

2) Paint both the altered bracket and the short universal bracket
(angle) with rust-inhibiting enamel.

3) After the enamel has dried, position the long leg of the short
bracket on the back of the sign and align two holes in bracket with
the two lower bolt holes in the sign.
Note. When installing the sign on a horizontal surface, position the
short leg of the bracket so that it faces rearward (figure 17).

When installing the sign on a sloping surface, position the short leg
of bracket so that it faces forward (figure 18).

4) Install bracket to sign with two bolts 120741 (3/4 in. lg), two
washers 138538, and two nuts 120368.
5) Position the sign in the desired location on the fender or splash
shield. Bend short leg of bracket, as required, to conform to the
contour or slope of fender.
6) Using the short leg of the bracket as a template, drill two 11/32inch holes in fender or splash shield.
7) Attach the sign to the fender or splash shield with two bolts (3/1
in. long), two washers and two nuts.
8) Secure the altered long universal bracket to the sign with one
bolt (3/4 in. long), one washer, and one nut. (Insert bolt in hole
located between two stacks of numeral plates on sign).
9) Drill an 11/32-inch hole in fender or splash shield to correspond
with the hole in the altered bracket and secure the bracket with one
bolt (3/4 inch long), one washer, and one nut. Figure 17 shows
sign installed on splash shield. Figure 18 shows sign installed on
sloping fender.
k) Instructions for unlocking and locking the retaining plate is as follows:
(1) Unlocking retaining plate. With the thumb of one hand, press down firmly on
