German term or phrase: Abtankrevers
This term appears in a list without any real context, unfortunately, other than that it is in a safety handbook for the drivers. There are hardly any search results on Google. I presume the "abtanken" part refers to draining the tank, but the "revers" part? Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance and sorry for the lack of context!!

agree  Steffen Walter: ... or just "compliance form" -> "compliance form for tank draining/discharge" ("compliance certificate ..." might be another valid option).
