I am checking the desgin of a 1500 gls Diesel tank and I heven´t being able to find the distance from bottom to suction point, any one who can help me?

However this is a schematic, so whilst the inlet to the pumps should show an internal pipe, much like the incoming pipe on the LHS of the drawing, I wouldn't expect this drawing to have dimensions like that on it.
A key would help and if that hatched thing on the inlet line is a filter it should be able to be isolated and drained and further upstream
You need the mechanical tank drawing for the information you are looking for.
Can't see the point of having three manual valves on the pump runs - two would suffice either end to isolate for maintenance etc.

The hatched element is a flexible coupling and yes I already added that drain, sorry this was the initial design and drafters in my company are processing the final designs.
The valves are a plus becuase this system is required to have a lot of safety
The inlet filter before the tank is a great observation I will also include it.
@fegenbush:
Thanks for the comment, but actually my initial concern was only the distance from the bottom of the tank to the suction pipe to the pumps
I love this site! Thanks
