Spill Buckets, Sumps and Penetration Sealing for Composite Fuel Piping

Containment hardware around a fuel system is often specified separately from the piping itself, which is how projects end up with good pipe and weak details. Spill buckets, dispenser sumps and tank sumps are only useful if the piping penetrations through them are sealed properly, and that is where composite pipe systems differ from steel […]

As-Built Documentation for Underground Composite Fuel Piping: What to Hand Over at Close-Out

As-built documentation for a buried composite fuel piping system is the set of drawings and records that describe what was actually installed, not what was originally designed. At close-out it should include the route with dimensions, the location and number of every electrofusion joint, the transition fittings at tanks and dispensers, the sections that were

Pre-Shipment Inspection of HDPE-EVOH Composite Fuel Pipe Coils: A Buyer’s Checklist

A pre-shipment inspection of composite fuel pipe coils is a short, structured check carried out at the factory before the container is loaded. It covers four things: the dimensional and wall structure of the pipe, the position and continuity of the barrier layer, the condition of the coil and its fittings as packed, and the

Connecting Underground Composite Fuel Piping to Tanks and Dispensers: Transition Fittings and Manifold Layout

The buried pipe in a fuel station project only performs as well as its connection points. Pipe lengths and electrofusion joints get most of the attention, but the transition fittings at tanks and dispensers, and the manifold layout that ties them together, are where field problems most often appear. The checks below cover the connecting
