A system for delivering a fluid to a fluid consuming asset having a fluid tank is disclosed. An inlet of a manifold is fluidically coupled to a storage tank that contains the fluid to be delivered. A first distal end of a fluid transporting mechanism is fluidically coupled to an outlet of the manifold. A second distal end of the fluid transporting mechanism is fluidically coupled to the fluid tank. A primary valve is fluidically coupled to the fluid transporting mechanism and restricts fluid flow to the fluid tank when fluid level in the fluid tank reaches a first fluid level threshold. A secondary valve is fluidically coupled to the fluid transporting mechanism and restricts fluid flow to the fluid tank when fluid level in the fluid tank reaches a second fluid level threshold. The first fluid level threshold is lower than the second fluid level threshold.

A modular fuel tank assembly includes a first fuel tank body defining a first inner volume and a second fuel tank body defining a second inner volume, where the first inner volume is spatially separate from the second inner volume. A connecting conduit is in fluid communication with the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank. The first fuel tank, the second fuel tank and the connecting conduit each define a double-walled structure having an inner wall and an outer wall spaced apart from the inner wall.

A liquid discharge system includes a liquid product pump having a sensor for monitoring vibrations passing through an outer casing of the liquid product pump to detect an occurrence of cavitation within the liquid product pump. A system and method for controlling the operation of a liquid product pump in an engine-driven hydraulic discharge system. The liquid product pump has a vibration sensor operable to detect cavitation within the liquid product pump and for providing an electrical vibration signal to a speed control module. The speed control module is operable to process the vibration signal and to produce an electrical speed control signal that is provided to an electronic actuator. The electronic actuator is operable to actuate a motor control lever of a variable speed hydraulic motor to adjust the operating speed of the liquid product pump.

A security device for a fuel dispenser includes a stepping relay having contacts arranged in series between a source of power and a fuel pump such that when the contacts are open, no fuel can be dispensed. The stepping relay is triggered by one or more door interlock switches that are powered by the fuel pump side of the contacts such that, when an access door is opened, the relay is triggered and the door interlock switches are no longer powered, hence, disabled. Therefore, a reset switch that is constantly powered is interfaced to trigger the stepping relay to close the contacts and allow fuel to be dispensed. Preferably, the reset switch is either remotely located or has a security feature.

An automated fluid transfer system and method allows a person to pour fluid, such as used motor oil, into a collection pan which automatically pumps the fluid to a bulk storage tank, without secondary containment in the collection pan. The system utilizes an air powered pump, thereby eliminating the use of electricity which creates fire and explosion hazards. A float rises and falls in response to fluid in the pan, so as to automatically turn on and turn off the pump. An alternative manual mode is provided to allow fluid to be sucked by the pump from a container directly into the bulk storage tank, while bypassing the collection pan.

A distribution station includes a mobile trailer and a delivery system. The delivery system includes a pump, a manifold fluidly connected with the pump, reels, hoses, valves situated between the manifold and a respective different one of the hoses, and fluid level sensors. There is also an additive injector fluidly connected with the delivery system and operable to introduce controlled amounts of an additive into the delivery system.
