This is a parallel question regarding the "static electric discharge hazard " thread
The thread is quite interesting and has provided me some good information on the subjet. I am curently desining the fuel system, including the day tank, for a mobile diesel genset (approx 100gal/400l).
I would like to know how these concerns are avoided in the transport industry ? I.E. Most fuel tanks on vehicules are filled from the top at high velocity with no dip pipe. Doe's all this matter have to do with the volume of the fuel tank and/or quantity of fuel transfered in a given period ?
My tank is well grounded to the trailer but filled from the top. Should I consider a dip pipe? The consumption of the engine (when running at full load) will require a transfert of approx 150 l. every 15 minutes. A tranfert pump will supplie it to the day tank from a bulk tank in about 1.5 min?
thanks
