VMI catastrophic Line Leak Detectors and Overfill Protection
Valves for aboveground storage tanks (pressurized fuel, loading the
tank) are guaranteed to work “as is” in virtually all fuels being
used today, including: Ethanol, Methanol, and Biodiesel in up to
100% concentrations. In addition, these valves are also capable of
working with Aviation fuels: AvGas, Jet A and JP-4. As always, they
work with traditional fuels - gasoline, kerosene and all grades of
regular diesel.
VMI Mechanical Line Leak Detectors’ standard warranty
guarantees our units will detect a 3 GPH @ 10 PSI leak for 24 months
after installation. VMI Overfill Protection Valves are guaranteed
for 18 months after installation. VMI Overfill Protection Valves
have an optional Functional Test Kit that allows periodic field
testing of these valves’ ability to prevent overfills during filling
operations. No other overfill valve has this feature.
Standard brass fittings and copper tubing come supplied with
every unit. When VMI Mechanical Line Leak Detectors and Overfill
Protection Valves are used with AvGas, Jet A and JP-4, stainless
steel fittings and tubing are required as these fuels are prohibited
from coming in contact with lead, commonly found in red metals.
Additionally, when Ethanol and Methanol concentrations are above 20%
or when Biodiesel concentrations are above 5%, stainless steel
fittings and tubing should be installed for long, leak free service
life. We sell stainless steel fittings and tubing separately for
these sites. With our quality, factory built equipment and a couple
of our stainless steel kits in your inventory, you can install with
confidence, leak detection and overfill protection for virtually any
fuel at any site anywhere in the world! |
