PEI Class 7 Test study plan

Map each PEI RP100/RP200 recommended practice section to the corresponding Class 7 topic, writing a one-line summary of what each section requires

Define spill, overfill, and release in your own words and list the field conditions that distinguish each on a fueling site

Trace a liquid product path from delivery point through piping to tank and back out to dispenser, labeling every component and its secondary containment layer

List the federal and state regulatory categories (SPCC, UST, stormwater, air) that apply to a Class 7 installer and note which agency enforces each

Compare single-wall, double-wall, and flexible piping types by material, pressure rating, and compatible fuels, building a comparison table

Explain tank construction types (single-wall, double-wall, FRP, steel, jacketed) and match each to its typical monitoring method

Identify every tank appurtenance (fill, vent, gauge, drop tube, manway, striker plate, overfill valve) and state its function and inspection point

Describe how slope, fall, and piping gradient affect drainage and product recovery in a liquid piping run

Sketch a complete piping layout including vent lines, vapor recovery, and secondary containment transitions, marking each joint type

Explain how containment sumps and spill buckets integrate with tank-top and dispenser piping, and where interstitial space connects to monitoring

List the failure modes of flexible versus rigid piping connections and the leak symptoms each produces

Describe proper vent line sizing, slope, and termination requirements and why each matters for vapor and liquid flow

Describe sump and spill bucket construction, materials, and sealing methods, and explain how each is tested for tightness

Explain how interstitial monitoring, sump sensors, and spill bucket probes generate alarms and what each alarm indicates

Compare release detection methods (ATG, SIR, MLLD, interstitial, vapor, groundwater) by applicability, limitations, and false-alarm causes

Identify the components of a leak monitoring panel and trace a signal from sensor to alarm to required response action

Walk through each tightness test type (tank, line, sump, spill bucket) and state the pass/fail criteria and test duration

Explain the sequence of a line leak detector test and how to interpret results for mechanical and electronic LLDs

Describe inventory reconciliation and how a variance calculation reveals a possible release

List the documentation required for each test type and who must sign off

Sequence a full installation from excavation through backfill, piping, tank setting, sump installation, and commissioning

Identify inspection hold points where work must stop for verification and what is verified at each

Explain secondary containment testing, hydrostatic testing, and vacuum testing procedures and when each applies

Describe safety requirements for confined space entry, hot work, and excavation on a fueling site

Review spill prevention, overfill protection, and corrosion protection requirements and how each is verified in the field

Explain sump and spill bucket inspection frequency, common defects, and corrective actions

Describe alarm response procedures and the reporting chain when a release is suspected

Identify recordkeeping obligations for testing, monitoring, and inspection and the retention periods

Complete a timed 100-question practice set across all six domains and score each domain separately

Re-study the two lowest-scoring domains using your own notes and diagrams

Recite from memory the key definitions, test thresholds, and inspection criteria for each domain

Build a one-page quick-reference sheet of formulas, thresholds, and component functions for final review
