PART A - SUPERVISING THE OPERATION OF THE FSSP
Flow Through the FSSP. Inspect the fuel when it arrives. The product
then enters the system through the receiving manifold. It usually moves
under suction from one of the 350-GPM pumps used as a receiving pump.
The product may also move under positive pressure from a transporter,
pipeline, or hoseline. When you have both filter/separators installed on
the delivery side of the system, the receiving pump distributes the
product directly to the tanks through the hoseline manifold. The other
350-GPM pump is used to draw fuel from the tanks and discharge it through
the two filter/separators into the hose header system. When you leave
one filter/separator installed on the receiving side of the system, the
receiving pump distributes the product to the receiving filter/separator
and then to the collapsible tanks. After than, the flow of product is
the same, except the fuel is drawn through only one filter/separator on
the discharge side of the system instead of two. You can also draw from
the supply source directly to the discharge side of the system. This
procedure bypasses the storage tanks. You need only one pump and one
filter/separator for this operation.
Flow Through the 50,000-Gallon Collapsible Tank. The first step is the
inspection of the product. The fuel then enters from the transporter
through a receiving manifold made up of a suction hose and gate valve.
The product usually moves under suction from a 350-GPM pumping assembly
that distributes it into the 50,000-gallon collapsible tank. Another
350-GPM pumping assembly acts as a discharge pump and distributes the
fuel from the tank to the discharge hose assembly. The discharge hose
assembly consists of a gate valve and discharge hose. From the discharge
hose assembly, the product moves into a transporter (Figure 5-1)
