Fluid delivery system and method
A fluid delivery system or method for the same may include features or steps for dispensing, via a nozzle, a first fluid from a first fluid storage tank of at least two fluid storage tanks. The fluid storage tanks may be separately fluidly coupled to a manifold via respective fluid supply lines. A fluid delivery line fluidly may couple the nozzle to the manifold. A residual first fluid may remain within the delivery line after the dispensing step. The system or method may further include features or steps for connecting the nozzle to a clearance tank. A clearance outlet line may fluidly couple the clearance tank to the manifold. The system or method may further include features or steps for purging the residual first fluid from the fluid delivery line into the clearance tank and delivering the residual first fluid from the clearance tank to the first fluid storage tank.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM TANK FILLING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A system for filling a tank of a suspension system with hydraulic fluid includes: a module configured to turn on an external pump and pump hydraulic fluid into the suspension system, where the external pump is separate from the suspension system and is configured to pump hydraulic fluid into the suspension system via a port fluidly connected to a hydraulic line of the suspension system; and a fill module configured to, after operating the external pump, operate a pump of the suspension system and pump hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic line into the tank of the suspension system thereby filling the tank.
