Depends on what has to be done to stop the leak. May be necessary to empty the tank before repairing the leaking flange.
This absolutely has to be done. Ammonia has a very high vapor content. Thats why its so dangerous. They could get a new flange sent overnight. However, they may have overpressurized the tank causing a failure in which case the tank would have to be replaced as well. Seems to happen a lot at CF

Being that it was a flange leak and not one of the several pop off valves on the tank, you think the tank was over pressured and therefore needs to be condemned?
Yep. You sure do sell tanks.

You don’t have much of a clue as to what you are talking about.

You know less than you think you do. This statement is meaningless.

Based on what? I know of exactly one ammonia storage tank failure in the US due to overpressure. I worked in that plant at the time. It was not CF and was a LONG time ago.
