FuelPort

The Simplex Automatic FuelPort is a factory packaged system for control of filling operations of aboveground tanks that are filled from pumper trucks. The Automatic FuelPort provides a ready means of ground level connection of the fill hose, and captures spills that may occur at the fill point during filling operations. The Automatic FuelPort alerts the operator at the Tank Full level with filling operations locked out at High Fuel level. A leak detection circuit prevents filling of leaking tanks. Visual and audible level and leak alarms and continuous level indication are provided.

The Simplex Automatic FuelPort is available for use with fuel oil (Class-II liquids) or gasoline (Class-I liquids).

Single or multiple tank controllers are available.

When used for filling two or more tanks, the Simplex Multiple Tank Automatic FuelPort allows for operator selection of the tank to be filled with automatic lockout of all off-line tanks. Sophisticated interlocks prevent inadvertent filling of a non-selected tank.
