of the weight of gas in a container to the weight of water that the container
will hold at 60F.
(o) "Implement of
husbandry" means a farm wagon-type vehicle or application unit that has an

that includes one or more permanent storage containers and their connections
and appurtenances.
(w)
"Pressure-relief valve" means a device designed to open to relieve pressure
above a specified value to prevent an increase in internal fluid or vapor and
to close once acceptable pressure conditions have been restored.
(x) "Proof-of-inspection seal" and "current
KDA-is-sued proof-of-inspection seal" mean the decal applied to a permanent
