The Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI) released a new publication developed by the PEI Marina Fueling System Installation Committee, Recommended Practices for the Installation of Marina Fueling Systems, PEI/RP1000.
The purpose of the document is to provide a basic reference that conveys concrete, authoritative guidance on how to deal with the challenges of constructing safe, environmentally protective marina-fueling facilities that will allow reliable and economical service for many years.
These recommended practices apply to facilities that:
- Serve recreational, commercial, government facilities by storing and dispensing motor fuel into vessels,
- Have fixed, onshore storage tanks using submersible or suction pumps to move the fuel,
- Are located in fresh water or salt water, lake or river environments, stable or fluctuating water-level conditions, and along stable or fluctuating shorelines,
- Have underground or aboveground storage tanks,
- Have a dispensing device that is stationary or mobile (e.g., a hydrant-type system with a mobile fueling cart).
These recommended practices do not apply to the following:
- Facilities where the storage tanks are in, on, or over water (e.g., floating tanks, tanks located over water on piers or floating docks),facilities where the tank is mobile (e.g., on a truck).
- Facilities where the tank is mobile (e.g., on a truck).
