10 Steps to Design the Best Fuel System for Life Safety Generators in Buildings

Life Safety Generator Fuel Systems can be complex. They need to operate reliably and meet applicable building codes. The configurations are often dictated by the very limited space available in the building design.

To make them easier to understand we break down the design process adding elements as needed to accomplish your design goals.

Each Step results in a functional system, so you can just stop after the step that fulfills your requirements.

STEP 1: As Simple as it Gets

STEP 2: Add Overfill Protection to Prevent Common Cause of Trouble

STEP 3: Add Sensors and Display Panels So You Know Conditions

STEP 4: Add Diesel Fuel Cleaning to Prevent Old Fuel Problems

STEP 5: Add Remote Fill for Generator in Building

STEP 6: For 2 Generators Here is How you do the Remote Fill

STEP 7: Add a Pump to the Fill Station if your Generator is on the Roof

STEP 8: If You Need to Add a Storage Tank in Basement, Here is How

STEP 9: Sometimes the Fuel Tank Room is a Hazardous Electrical Area

STEP 10: Then Add the Day Tank at the Generator Location
