Diesel Fuel Day Tanks
Diesel Fuel Day Tanks
(OP)
I have a four (4) 2MW diesel gen-sets that have a small 50 gallon day tank that is connected to a 4,000 gallon main tank. The question has come up by the Caterpillar on site technician that the overflow port of the day tank should be connected to the main tank as a return line. This connection is what makes the system safe in the event of failure of any sensor within the day tank.
Is the on board day tank a Code Requirement

RE: Diesel Fuel Day Tanks
i do not remember any piping system you described as being a requirement. this does not mean that the responsible engineer should not consider installing such a system. the responsible engr should investigate all scenarios (normal operating and otherwise) and design accordingly.
good luck!
