PCT No. PCT/JP81/00227 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 26, 1982 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 26, 1982 PCT Filed Sep. 9, 1981 PCT Pub. No. WO82/00885 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 18, 1982.A method of inspecting storage tanks for leaks by means of pressure decrease and increase in the tanks, in which a part of a liquid 6 stored in a tank 1 is discharged to put the tank 1 under vacuum and variations in the pressure in the tank 1 with time are checked, the pressure in the tank 1 is thereafter increased to the level of the atmospheric pressure, and then the liquid which was discharged from the tank is poured back thereinto to put the tank under pressure and variations in the pressure in the tank with time are checked. The method is done by an apparatus designed for inspecting storage tanks for leaks by means of pressure decrease and increase in the tanks, having an air pipe (2), a measuring pipe (3), a liquid feed pipe (4), a liquid suction pipe (5) and an air-tight container (7), which are communicated with a tank (1) to be inspected, a pressure regulator pump (8) connected to the air-tight container (7), and a manometer (11) and a recording air gauge (10) connected to the measuring pipe (3).
