2-6. OPERATING PROCEDURES. - continued
(c) The following describes the use of pump (3) to discharge fuel from tank (1) through the dispensing
assembly and recirculate to tank (2).
1
Open valves (4) through (21). Check that there is a flow path open from pressure regulating valve
(22) to a tank.
2
Connect the dispensing coupling (or couplings) to the tanker-truck(s) being loaded.
3
Start pump (3) and hold at a very low discharge pressure or in the idle position.
4
Open the appropriate valve(s) (23) through (30) leading to the dispensing hose coupling(s) being
used.
5
Raise pump (3) discharge pressure as required to maintain 30 psig at the control valve (22). Under
no conditions should the pump discharge pressure be allowed to exceed 75 psig. Surplus fuel, i.e.
that is not dispensed, will flow to tank (2).
6
When loading is complete, close the valve nearest the coupling(s) (23) through (30). Disconnect the
coupling(s).
7
Shut down pump (3).
8
The above instructions pass fuel through the filter separators (31) through (34). Under normal
conditions two filter separators should be in service and loading rates limited to 700 gpm.
9
When no fuel is being drawn from the dispensing assembly, shut down the pump (3) in service.
CAUTION
Trapping high pressure between closed valves can damage equipment.
10
When fueling operations are complete or are to be secured for an extended period, close all valves
beginning at furthest upstream point and continuing downstream.
(6) Transfer Fuel from a Tank Farm (Module) Assembly to the Associated Pipeline System. See (figure 2-27) to
transfer fuel from the TPT to the associated pipeline, there must be no back pressure in the pipeline system
that exceeds the 600 gpm hoseline pump's discharge head capability.
NOTE
The routing and procedures to transfer from any other tank would be the same
except for the valve positions between the tank and the pump.
(a) Open valves (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), and (6).
(b) Record reading or reset meter (7).
(c) Start and operate pump (8) at low discharge pressure.
(d) Open valve (9) while increasing the discharge rate on pump (8).
