Most larger earthmoving and mining vehicles with diesel fuel tanks over 150 US gallons (570 L) are equipped with a refueling Fast Fill System.
These refueling Fast Fill Systems utilize an automatic shut off fuel nozzle, receiver and level control device.
When the fuel reaches the predetermined fill point inside the tank, a valve then closes and pressure begins to build within the interior signal line.
They reduce operator slip, trip and falls; and the risk of injury due to product overfill splash.
Most equipment, currently not set up with pressureless refueling Fast Fill Systems, can be retrofitted with applications from OEMs such as Fast Fill Systems [1], International, Shaw Development, Banlaw [2], Hydrau-Flo®, [permanent dead link] and others[1][2] Pressureless refueling Fast Fill Systems meet European directive 97/23/EC [3] which permits their use in the European Union as any tank pressurization during refuel is less than 7.3 psi (0.5 bar).
It is recommended to contact the manufacturer of the pressureless refueling Fast Fill System for updated and accurate installation instructions.
