Once the system is installed and operational, an electronic sensor will automatically detect if fuel has reached maximum capacity during loading. If an overfill is found by the system, it will send a signal to stop the line’s flow. This is useful for bottom loading applications where it can be difficult to determine the volume of product when filling each compartment.
There’s an option to fit two or five wires. Two-wire systems are for tankers with up to eight compartments and are compatible with a 10-pin socket only, while the five-wire systems can accommodate to 12 compartments with 6- and 10-pin socket only.
Other features include:
Fluoro-elastomer seals compatible with petroleum products
Housing protection to IP66 with impact rating better than 09 (10 joule impact) for maximum durability
Compatible with all known systems on the market

Applications
Applications
This product is a key safety feature that prevents overfilling fuel tanks when bottom loading trucks.
It’s used throughout the world by oil majors and transporters of fuel petroleum products.
This product is durable and in most cases is ‘fit and forget’.
But it’s important to keep such a vital piece of equipment working properly, which is why our team is on hand to troubleshoot any problems you may have. EMCO Wheaton can also offer spares if the system’s components wear over time.
