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 90% level with filling operations locked out at 95%. 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. Multiple Tank Automatic FuelPorts allow operator selection of the tank to be filled with automatic lockout of all other tanks.
