Figure 9 illustrates an example of a genuine Banlaw FillSafe Zero (Internal) Pilot Line. This specification of the Pilot Line has been selected and tested by Banlaw for routing within a diesel fuel tank. The use of a non- genuine Pilot Line is not condoned by Banlaw, and may cause cause improper operation and inferior safety and reliability of a FillSafe Zero system –...
FillSafe Zero Pilot Lines The Banlaw Vented Level Sensor (BVLS model) may be connected to the Banlaw Flow Control Valve 2” (e.g. BFCV50NPTF, etc.) via an internal Pilot Line (i.e. routed within the tank), or to an array of alternate Flow Control Valves (e.g.

“flexing” of the line in response to the movement (i.e. turbulence and sloshing) of the fuel. Reference to the Banlaw FillSafe Zero System Installation Procedure must be made prior to any attempt to install an internal Pilot Line assembly to best avoid such failure modes.
FILLSAFE ZERO 2” NPT FxM FLOW CONTROL VALVE The scope of this section applies to the Banlaw BFCV50NPTF Flow Control Valve assembly. Whilst other FillSafe Zero products are mentioned – e.g. Level Sensors and Pilot Lines – end-users must refer to separate Banlaw documentation covering each product prior to their installation.

RECEIVER. REPLACE RECEIVER DUST CAP AND RETURN NOZZLE TO STORAGE HOLSTER/ANCHOR 7 MAINTENANCE & SPARE PARTS The BFCV50NPTF Flow Control Valve is a non-serviceable Banlaw product. Banlaw warranty is void in the event an attempt is made to repair, modify or otherwise tamper with the Valve assembly. Further, tampering with the Valve may increase the risk of hazards jeopardising the operation of the Valve and OFP system, and subsequent safety of the refuelling system.
Banlaw Site Service and Preventative Maintenance Clients can benefit from a Banlaw Service Level Agreement (SLA) to assist in the preventative and corrective maintenance of a FillSafe Zero system onsite, in addition to other diesel, fuels, oils and coolant infrastructure.
