06.06 How do you fill multiple tanks from a common fill station?

There are 2 methods of filling multiple tanks from a common fill point:

(a) individual fill pipes are run from each tank and they terminate within an enlarged fill station. This method has the benefit of simplicity but the drawback of increased costs for multiple fill points. Also within buildings the space requirements fro multiple fill points may not be practical.

(b) a common fill pipe with electrically actuated valves to allow tank selection and a control panel at the fill station to allow tank selection and high level alarm and shutoff.
