A system of multiple non-manifolded fuel tanks on a trailer and preferred embodiments which allow for improved access to the contents of each fuel tank and ability to transport multiple fuel types in a single system.

A delivery system includes a transportation container for cooking oil carried by a delivery vehicle for filling a storage container located at a restaurant. A flexible conduit is temporarily connected between the transportation container and the storage container. The oil is pumped from the transportation container to the storage container. A pressure sensor, carried by the vehicle downstream the pump, monitors pressure in the storage container. A processor operates with the pressure sensor for determining a pressure level in the storage container and controls delivery of the oil for limiting a pressure level to a preselected value. The system waits a period of time and tests the pressure to allow the pressure in the storage container to equalize so that pressure in the conduit at the vehicle is the same as pressure in the storage container. The pressure level is used to establish the amount of cooking oil delivered.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus (5) for determining a change in volume within a vessel (11) with regard to fluid (14) being added or removed from the vessel. The method involves measuring first and second surface levels (20, 20′) of fluid (14) within the vessel (11) (with regard to fluid being added or removed therefrom), first and second roll values (23, 23′) of the vessel, and first and second pitch values (26, 26′) of the vessel. From these measurements, and in conjunction with the known interior dimensions and known interior total volume of the vessel, there are calculated first and second fluid volumes that are compared to determine a change in fluid within the vessel.

A method and system for controlling a transfer of liquid from or to a transport vehicle uses a memory module on the vehicle to keep track of vehicle parameters. When a transfer request, having a plurality of transfer parameters, is received, transport vehicle parameters representative of a current condition of the transport vehicle are retrieved. The transfer parameters are compared to the transport vehicle parameters. The transfer proceeds as a result of determining that each comparison of a transfer parameter to a transport vehicle parameter is correct.

This invention relates generally to injection remediation systems and methods. In one embodiment, an injection remediation system includes, but is not limited to, at least one reservoir configured to contain material; at least one load sensor supporting the at least one reservoir; at least one dosing pump operably coupled to the at least one reservoir and configured to controllably source the material; and at least one processor configured to determine an amount of the material sourced from the at least one reservoir based at least partly on weight information obtained from the at least one load sensor.

An information processing apparatus, an information processing system, a vehicle, an information processing method and an information processing program which improve the utility of techniques for generating a travel plan for a vehicle are provided. An information processing apparatus includes a controller. The controller acquires first storage information indicating a stored amount of a first storage apparatus of a first vehicle provided with the first storage apparatus for storing drainage water. The controller generates a travel plan for a second vehicle provided with a second storage apparatus for storing the drainage water collected from the first vehicle, based on predetermined information which includes the first storage information.

A product delivery vehicle system includes a product delivery vehicle with at least one tank compartment. The system includes an internal valve fluidly coupled to the tank compartment, a control valve, and an air system comprising a main air valve and a solenoid valve fluidly coupled to the main air valve and to the internal valve. The solenoid valve is operable to open and close the internal valve. The system includes an electronic control unit communicatively coupled to the control valve, the main air valve, and the solenoid valve. The system includes a tank tag reader operable to read a tank tag and transmit a tank tag indicator associated with the tank tag, the tank tag indicator indicative of a stored liquid type in a distribution tank. The electronic control unit may maintain the internal valve closed and the control valve locked when a product type mismatch is detected.

This disclosure includes a manhole cover locking device, system, and kit, each configured for locking a manhole cover in a closed position overtop an access opening of a container, the access opening being arranged at one end of a collar extending outwardly from the container, each comprising: a body; a mechanism for connecting the body to a pre-existing portion of the manhole collar or the container; and, a mechanism for securing the body to the manhole cover to prevent the opening of the manhole cover using a pre-existing portion of the manhole cover. Each mechanism may be tamper resistant. The disclosure also includes methods of installing and using the device, system, and kit.

A trailer-mounted pumping system includes a flatbed trailer having a generally flat deck surface, a pump, a batch controller, and a metering device in electronic communication with the batch controller, wherein the pump is configured to move a liquid from at least one tote supported by the generally flat deck surface to a location off-board the flatbed trailer, and the batch controller is configured to measure a volume of the liquid via the metering device. The pump, the metering device, and/or the batch controller may be disposed beneath the generally flat deck surface.
