Dear Mr. Fitzjohn: This responds to your June 2, 1981, letter asking about th requirements for reservoir tanks for air brake systems. In particular, you ask whether section S5.1.2.2 and S5.2.1.3 are the only Federal requirements applicable to the manufacture of the reservoirs.; The two sections that you referenced in your letter are the onl sections specifying requirements for the construction of reservoirs for air brake systems. For additional guidance in the construction of reservoir, you should refer to SAE standard J10b titled 'Automotive and Off Highway Air Brake Reservoir Performance and Identification Requirements.' This standard will provide you with the prevailing industry practice in the construction of reservoirs.; You should be aware that you would be responsible under the Nationa Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act if there were any defect relating to motor vehicle safety in your product.; Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Chief Counsel
