Biofuel Compatible, see fuel compatibility chart on page 4 for more information.
Application: The overfill detection system used on petroleum cargo tanks typically consists of a sensor mounted
in each tank compartment, an onboard monitor located near the bottom loading valves and an
API compatible socket. The overfill system is intended to detect a pending overfill condition inside
the cargo tank compartment and signal the loading rack to close the fuel supply control valve, to
prevent a spill of product. These systems are required by law as part of the bottom loading system
and considered a secondary emergency shut off device. The overfill system is typically triggered
when the primary metering system fails to load the cargo tank compartment with the correct volume
of product.
Standards: Manufactured to American Petroleum Institute standard API RP-1004, which allows for drop in inter-
change ability with other brands.
Materials: Dependent upon the component, see each product section for materials.
Features & Benefits: •Knowledge and experienced design: Dixon electronic staff are seasoned veterans when
it comes to overfill systems. Our employees have years of experience in electronics, manufactur-
ing and most important, with in-the-field trouble shooting of overfill terminal and tanker installa-
tions. That is why we have focused on easy, drop-in replacement features with improved probe
life, and why we have included heavy duty hardware made from premium, corrosion resistant
materials.
•Trouble free probes and sensors: FloTech brand probes/sensors do not use epoxy bonded
prisms as a means to seal the prism. Therefore, they are not subject to malfunction due to epoxy/
prism interface separation. FloTech brand probes/sensors incorporate a double elastomer design
whichseals and secures the sensitive optic prism tip. The elastomer seals are flexible allowing
thermal expansion and resistance to steam cleaning and petroleum chemical attack.
