Welcome

Fuel oil handling Systems (FOHS) and storage tanks

Fuel Oil Handling:
Thermo System undertakes complete Design, Engineering, Supply, Fabrication, Installation, Erection, Testing & Commissioning

of FOHS for different type of fuels (HFO, HSD, LDO, Naphtha etc) to be stored. Complete mechanical, electrical and

instrumentation is covered.

Typical Fuel Oil Handling System consists of unloading hose, decanting and transfer facilities, pumping and heating unit (if

applicable), bulk storage tank, day tank and the process utility piping.

Unloading Skid:
Used for unloading the fuel from tankers / wagons through hoses
A typical unloading skid consists of
Suction strainers
Pumps with drives
Instrumentation (pressure, temperature & flow)
Interconnecting piping with valves mounted on a common base frame

Bulk Storage Tank:
Designed to API 650 and IS 803 standards to accommodate the Fuel Oil unloaded from tankers / wagons. These can be vertical

fixed / floating roof tanks with material of construction of SS 316 / SS304 / Carbon steel.
A typical storage tank consists of
Electrical / steam heaters
Flame and lightings arresters
Breather valves
Instrumentation (level and temperature)
Thermal insulation

Transfer Skid:
Used for transferring the fuel from storage tanks to the day tanks
A typical transfer skid consists of
suction strainers
pumps with drives
instrumentation (pressure, termperature & flow)
interconnecting piping with valves
inline heaters on the pump discharge line mounted on a common base frame.

Day Tanks:
Designed to accommodate the day’s requirement of fuel and located near the utility point.

Pumping & Heating (PHF) Unit:
PHF unit is used to transfer the fuel from day tanks to the utility point i.e. boiler firing, furnace firing, engine etc at a

required pressure, temperature & flowrate.
A typical PHF unit consists of:
Inline Heater.
Instrumentation (pressure, temperature, flow, viscosity etc)
Pressure regulating / control valves

The balance scope as described in the transfer skid.

Piping:
The total process utility piping (CS/SS) - starting from unloading point to utility point along with the necessary

accessories and instrumentation.

Electrical:
This comprises of power distribution from control instruments like RTDs, thermostats etc. for control and monitoring of

various parameters in the system.

Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator- Whats in the Box?

Fuel pressure regulator 99 chevy Silverado ?

How do you replace the fuel pressure regulator on a 1999 Chevy Silverado? Is it something I can do myself or should I take it to a shop ?

the other post is wrong, the regulator is one the driver's side fuel rail on the engine. it is pretty easy to replace. just make sure you remove all the old o-rings and don't pinch any of the new ones. if installed wrong you will have a large fuel leak
so if you able to do this yourself take it to a shop
