Fuel storage and supply arrangement having fuel conditioning assembly

A fuel storage and supply arrangement serves as a source of fuel to be dispensed via at least one fuel dispenser in a fuel dispensing environment. The arrangement comprises a storage tank for containing a quantity of the fuel. A pump assembly draws the fuel from the storage tank providing the fuel under pressure to a fuel supply line. A fuel conditioning assembly includes a housing having a storage volume, a housing inlet receiving the fuel under pressure created by the pump assembly, a housing outlet through which fuel exits the housing, and a housing port through which fuel can be drawn into the housing. A vacuum source in fluid communication with the housing outlet is operative to selectively apply a vacuum to the outlet of the housing so that liquid can be drawn into the housing via the port. A water intake device is in fluid communication with the housing port. The water intake device has at least one inlet situated adjacent to a bottom of the fuel storage tank.

An oil drum adapter kit may be used for connection to an oil drum containing oil. The oil drum adapter kit may include an adapter body. A fill tube may be connected to the adapter body to allow the oil drum to be filled with the oil. A drain tube may be connected to the adapter body to allow the oil to be removed from the oil drum. A level sensor may be disposed on the drain tube. The level sensor may be configured to sense a level of the oil contained in the oil drum.

Method and apparatus for limiting acidic corrosion and contamination in fuel delivery systems

A method and apparatus are provided for controlling a fuel delivery system to limit acidic corrosion. An exemplary control system includes a controller, at least one monitor, an output, and a remediation system. The monitor of the control system may collect and analyze data indicative of a corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system. The output of the control system may automatically warn an operator of the fueling station of the corrosive environment so that the operator can take preventative or corrective action. The remediation system of the control system may take at least one corrective action to remediate the corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system.

A method of deploying a water intake device in a fuel storage tank involves providing a water intake device having an elongate flow structure including at least one flexible flow tube and an elongate substrate adjacent to the flow tube, wherein the substrate provides a semi-rigid characteristic that allows the elongate flow structure to be guided. Another step of the method involves providing a guide tube having a straight portion and an arcuate portion at a distal end of the guide tube. Another step of the method involves installing the guide tube generally vertically into a fuel storage tank with the arcuate portion directed toward a desired guidance direction. Another step of the method involves moving the elongate flow structure of the water intake device through the guide tube into a deployed position.
