5. DRAINING THE TANK
5.1.
IMPORTANT. Before starting the draining process the overflow valve (fig.2) must be closed to allow the drainer tank to
become pressurised.
The contents of the tank are drained off using the air pressure supplied by the local incoming air supply. (The pump is not used for
this function). For drainage purposes the incoming air is passed through the regulator. The regulator is provided to allow the operator
to adjust the unit to suit different compressors. Initially the operator should set the pressure low (e.g. 5psi) and increase it in small
increments until the unit drains properly. Once the regulator is set it should not be necessary to alter it unless the unit is used with a
different compressor.
IMPORTANT. Do not set the pressure too high as this could result in the tank pressure relief valve operating and the
possible venting of fuel.
5.2.
Ensure that you have a container ready that has a minimum capacity of 40ltr and is approved for the storage of petrol or diesel fuel.
5.3.
Connect the earth bonding straps.
Ensure each strap is tightly connected to the unit. Attach the crocodile clip from one strap to a known earthing point, away from any
potential fuel vapour, and the crocodile clip from the other strap the container. If necessary scrape away a small amount of paint from
the container to improve the earth connection.
5.4.
Plug a probe directly into the main hose.
5.5.
Remove the other end of the main hose from the filter and connect it to the draining connector underneath the pressure gauge. See
fig.5. and fig.2.
5.6.
Turn the suction/drain tap to the DRAIn position (fig.2).
5.7.
Start the drainage process by opening the air on/off tap (fig.2). The pressure of the incoming air supply can remain at the 70 to
100psi previously set for the suction process. When draining directly through the probe, transfer time is approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
5.8.
Stop the drainage process by closing the air on/off tap after all the fuel has been transferred.
5.9.
Unless the fuel is to be returned to the vehicle immediately, it should be stored in a designated lockable, well-ventilated area,
preferably outside the workshop.
5.10.
Any contaminated fuel or petrol/diesel mixtures should be consigned to waste, giving a clear description of the nature of the material.
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1.
Maintenance, service and repair should only be carried out by qualified persons.
6.2.
Check the condition of the transfer hoses. Make sure that they are intact and undamaged, without cracks, holes or leaks. If they are
damaged or they leak, replace them.
6.3.
Check the condition of the adaptors and associated washers. Be sure that they are undamaged and can maintain a perfect seal.
Replace them with original spare parts if they are damaged or not working correctly.
6.4.
Periodically check the earth strap terminals for tightness and that the wire and clamps are in good order.
6.5.
Every week unscrew the filter casing. Extract the filter cage and clean out any sludge and/or particles.
