Two sentences in paragraph 5.10. on the installation of tanks

Paragraph 5.10. now has two sentences. The first sentence now ends with a full stop after “the rear of the vehicle”. Before this supplement, a semicolon followed these words, and the text continued with “there shall be no protruding parts”. A comma now follows “etc.” in “sharp edges, etc., near the tank”. Apart from the punctuation and the capital letter of “There”, the words do not change.

Tanks shall be installed in such a way as to be protected from the consequences of a collision to the front or the rear of the vehicle; there . There shall be no protruding parts, sharp edges, etc. ., near the tank.
