Ross Headquarters has an 8,000 gallon tank that is served by a new Preferred Utilities automatic fuel cleaning and water removal system. Ross has a 1,000 kw generator with a 600 gallon belly tank. The original installation was a code minimum installation but lacked important safety features:

  • Leak detection on the double contained pipe
  • Remote alarming of leak condition (generator is in a remote architectural enclosure)
  • A return pump (no way to return fuel in original design)
  • A method of automatically determining tank level and alarming upon low or high fuel
  • Extended vents (above the belly tank level)

The original pipe was threaded and weeped. We replaced the piping with socket welded steel pipe.
