In a liquid hydrogen fuel storage tank the gaseous hydrogen vaporizes and fills the empty volume inside the tanks. This hydrogen is not combustible since there is no oxygen present. In gasoline or other hydrocarbon fuel tanks, air fills the empty volume of the tanks and combines with vapors from the fuel to produce a combustible mixture. [Pg.112]

The recommended location for the diesel fuel tank is outdoors, just outside of the building. Where location of the diesel fuel storage tank outside of the fire water pump building is not appropriate (cold weather), sprinkler protection of the fire-water pump house is recommended. Pump controllers should be sealed and splash resistant. [Pg.180]

SwRI 93-01, Testing Requirements for Protected Aboveground Flammable Liquid/Fuel Storage Tanks, includes tests to evaluate the performance of ASTs under fire, hose stream, ballistics, heavy vehicular impact, and different environments. This standard requires pool-fire resistance similar to that of UL 2085. [Pg.141]

Sulfur readily attacks copper and its alloys, bronze and brass, to form copper sulfide, CuS. Elemental sulfur, mercaptan sulfur, or hydrogen sulfide can all attack copper bearing parts. Fuel storage tanks and piping systems can contain copper heating coils, and cooling coils, as well as brass or bronze valves and fittings. These parts are all susceptible to sulfur-initiated corrosion. [Pg.116]

Colonies established by microbes on the sidewalls and bottoms of fuel storage tank systems are called plaques. These plaques can often be the site of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of the underlying metal. [Pg.147]

Demulsifiers are quite effective at clearing fuel of water-initiated haze. Occasionally, upon clearing the fuel, the water will be removed by interacting with a demulsifier to form an emulsion. This emulsion will precipitate from the fuel and settle to the bottom of a fuel storage tank. This emulsion can plug filters and clog small lines if not removed from the tank with the water bottoms. [Pg.170]

This non-ASTM method is utilized to help predict the tendency of waxy fuel to plug small lines leading from outdoor fuel storage tanks. Fuel which flows from storage through smaller transfer lines may deposit wax on the internal surface of these lines or onto filter screens. Accumulation of wax can restrict or halt the flow of fuel from the system. This problem usually occurs slightly below the cloud point of the fuel. [Pg.191]

Maintain a frequent schedule of draining accumulated water bottoms from the bottom of the fuel storage tank. [Pg.209]

Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) can live in water bottoms of fuel storage tanks. These bacteria can produce growth plaques on metal surfaces and can live in corrosion pits in metal. Hydrogen sulfide is a product of SRB metabolism and can contaminate fuel stored in tanks. [Pg.218]

Filament-wound structures are often used to store fluid under pressure fuel storage tanks, rocket motor cases, natural gas, and oxygen storage tanks. In some cases, the filament-wound structure is subjected to external pressure a diving bell or submarine. Filament winding has... [Pg.389]

A combination of these facilities can reduce or eliminate the need for dedicated liquid fuel storage tanks which occupy valuable deck space. [Pg.32]
