    Primer coating is always permitted by ABS before leak testing tank boundaries. A full coat of paint on tank boundaries is also allowed before leak testing if the joints were welded using automatic welding like SAW or semi-automatic welding like FCAW, as long as the surveyor is satisfied with the weld integrity. Acceptable forms of leak testing include vacuum testing, which is also permitted by ABS.
