Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits

This train fueling system consists of the G1630 nozzle and G1620 adaptor. The EMCO Wheaton adaptor is mounted to a diesel tank at each fueling connection on a locomotive’s chassis. Only minor modifications are required for this installation – simply remove the existing fittings and replace. All adaptors can also be shipped with dust caps to protect the product from damage.

The G1630 nozzle connects to the adaptor quickly and easily, and since shut off occurs at a safe pre-set level no fuel is spilled when it is uncoupled. The nozzle is also hydraulically balanced to permit easy opening and shock-free closing. This feature makes it possible to save fueling time by starting the pump before attaching the nozzle. Increased pumping rates are also possible since higher pump relief valve settings may be used safely.

Other features include an automatic shut off when the fuel tank reaches capacity and a consistent fuel level that avoids underfill or overfill issues. This allows operators to attend to other tasks when filling is taking place. The automatic shut off is also housed in the G1630 nozzle, so bench repairs can also be made without significant downtime.

Other features and benefits include:

  • Simple operation – simple twist and fit mechanism
  • High flow rates – for reduced fueling times
  • Trouble-free servicing – no moving parts
  • Proven in the field – 40 years of constant use

This product is proven in the field. It has no moving parts, making it an incredibly durable system that can be relied on repeatedly. However, EMCO Wheaton recognises the taxing nature of train fueling applications and acknowledges that even the best solutions need regular maintenance to ensure correct function. That is why we offer service kits and OEM spares for in-field servicing.
