7.3 Generator Fuel Storage/Distribution
Fuel Oil Storage and Distribution shall be provided to support operation of
prime power engine driven electrical generators fueled by diesel fuel
operating for a minimum of 7 days at full load operation. The plant shall be
located under a sunshade. Fuel storage tank will comply with all force
protection requirements, environmental requirements and shall comply with
UL-142 for above ground storage tanks. The storage of fuels shall consist of
aboveground horizontal steel tanks with a secondary containment system.
Secondary containment system shall be integral with the tank or shall consist
of a concrete containment dike and will be designed to 110% of the fuel tank
capacity. The dike structure shall be constructed of reinforced concrete. All
above ground fuel piping will be threaded flanged connection and pressure
tested. The tank shall be complete with fill tube and cap, suction tube, tank
gage, vent, emergency vent and other fittings and appurtenances required for
full and safe operation. The tank shall be provided with support saddles or
runners, platform/stair and be anchored to the concrete containment pad. Fuel
shall be transferred from the primary bulk storage tank(s) by duplex transfer
pumps into individual day tanks for each generator, sized for eight (8) hours
of continuous operation at full load. Coordinate fuel tank plumbing fittings
with base to facilitate refueling. Fuel shall be transferred from the
individual day tanks to the generator by its transfer pump with return piping
back to the tank as recommended by the generator manufacture. Fuel piping
shall be black carbon steel piping located above grade and in conformance
with NFPA 30 Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. Fuel systems shall
include provision for unloading fuel from tankers into bulk storage tanks.
Provide fuel tanks with all necessary low level, high level and high-high
level setpoints and alarms for control and notifications of fuel levels.
7.3.1 Day Tank
Day tank for each gen-set shall incorporate secondary containment and be
located under the gen-set as a skid mounted, 'belly' tank. Fuel oil storage
shall have capacity for 8 hours of generator operation at full-load. Day tank
shall be provided with fuel pump if recommended by gen-set manufacturer, fill
cap, vent, drain plug, fuel level indicator and engine supply and return
connections. Its supports, anchors and saddles shall be as per tank
manufacturer's recommendations. Tank and its accessories shall have coating
suitable for outdoor installation and site weather conditions. Tank shall
comply with UL-142.
7.4 Filling System
A fuel filling system shall be provided for unloading fuel from fuel tanker
into individual bulk storage tanks comprising of truck pad(s), spill
containment fill connection, piping manifold and valves. The system shall
provide remote fuel level monitoring panels at the pad(s).
