Banlaw : Fill Safe

Is Fuel Spillage on your Site a Risk?

If your site still relies on tank back pressure to detect fuel “full” levels, you could be running a big risk of spillage resulting in fire risk, site damage, downtime and environmental issues.

How Full is Full?

Relying on a quick fill nozzle, or physically watching the tank level gauge on the machine to check its fuel level is too risky, and relies too heavily on operators, tank setups and a range of other variables. Also, if this involves climbing onto tanks, it could also result in injury claims. Underfilling a vehicle can also be just as much a problem as overfilling. It wastes vehicle and operator time, and costs money through inefficiency and downtime.

The fully electronic Banlaw FillSafe system controls the tank volume and eliminates spillage, without tank pressurisation.It operates without tank pressurization. Each vehicle has its own level sensor fitted. The filling station can be fitted with a FillSafe level sensor.

When fuel is required, the nozzle and fuel receiver are connected using a quick connect/release mechanism. The FillSafe system, once activated, then allows fuel filling to commence, only if the fuel tank requires fuel.

As a fully integrated system, no spillage can occur. Fuel will automatically stop flowing into the tank when the level sensor senses that the tank is full. The level sensor takes into account fuel expansion, optimum tank full level and eliminates the chance of spillage through a vent.

All Fuel Usage can be Recorded

The FillSafe system can be operated as a "standalone" system, and can also be linked to Banlaw’s Fueltrack system, so that each vehicle's fuel usage can be tracked precisely.
