GENERATOR SET BASE FUEL TANKS
Our secondary containment sub-base fuel tanks for industrial gen-sets are designed, fabricated and tested in accordance with UL-142 standards and labeled per UL-142 specifications. ACS's Series 1800 fuel tanks are UL approved design for tanks measuring up to 48" high x 144" wide x over 480" length with a fuel capacity of up to 18,000 gallons.

 STANDARD CONSTRUCTION
  • Tanks are designed to support the weight of the Gen-Set packaged equipment
  • Both the primary tank and secondary tanks are pressure tested to 3 PSI.
  • Material of construction:
        -Primary tank is constructed of 10 gauge; sides, ends, bottom and baffles
         (baffles separate cold/hot returning fuel).
        -Secondary tank is constructed of 1/4" thick sides, 7 gauge ends, bottom and top.
        -Four(4) lifting lugs, designed to lift the weight of the tank. Lifting lug capacity is UL approved.

STANDARD FEATURES
  • One(1) 2" fuel fill locking manual cap
  • One(1) fuel supply - NPT size determined by engine kw or customer specification
  • One(1) fuel return - NPT size same as fuel supply.
  • Primary tank normal vent cap - Size determined by tank capacity. Vent will be piped to outside and above the enclosure roof, on packaged units.
  • Two(2) emergency pressure relief vents (One(1) Primary, One(1) Secondary) - Size determined by tank wetted surface area. (Calculated based on 100% primary tank).
  • One(1) fuel gauge direct reading indicator gauge.
  • One(1) low level float alarm switch assembly - with 1/2" NPT electrical connection.
  • One(1) secondary tank leak detector float alarm switch assembly - with 1/2" NPT electrical connection.
  • One(1) 1" NPT secondary tank drain - with plug.
  • One(1) electrical stub area - size and location determined by gen-set kw.
  • All connections are labeled for identification.
  • Exterior tank surfaces are cleaned, primed and painted per customer requirements.

OPTIONS
  • High level float alarm switch assembly with 1/2" NPT electrical connection.
  • 1" NPT primary tank over flow connection.
  • 2-6 GPM fuel supply and return motor/pump.
  • 6-10 GPM fuel supply manual pump.
  • 7 1/2 Gallon fuel spill container assembly - mounted inside or outside enclosure.
  • Fuel immersion heater assembly with low fuel shutoff switch.
  • Fuel tank monitoring panel - wired to fuel tank connections.
  • Fuel tank annuciator panel - wired to fuel tank connections.
  • Combination low/high level float switch assembly with 1/2" NPT electrical connection for fuel pump start-up control.
  • UL rated lift lugs capable of lifting the entire package (gen-set, enclosure and tank)

OPTIONAL
  • On heavy weight gen-set packaged assemblies, tanks are placed in a structural I-beam base skid with 4 lifting lugs that are designed to lift the entire gen-set packaged assembly.
  • ACS can fabricate tanks of 304 or 316 L stainless steel material.
