Available in 2 and 3-inch sizes, STX-DEF pumps also feature an adjustable relief valve, weld flanges and are self-priming. The STX3-DEF Series offers high capacity flow rates up to 250 gpm (946 lpm), differential pressures up to 125 psi (8.6 bar) and pump speeds up to 800 rmp, delivering fast fluid off-loading. STX1220A-DEF Series pumps have been designed to operate at the lower flow rates that some DEF transfer applications require, with a flow-rate range of 42 gpm (159 lpm) to 92 gpm (348 lpm).

Overfill-detection systems are crucial require- ments at any loading rack during tank truck loading. Faulty wiring on truck overfill equipment caused by corrosion or other damage could cause overfill devices to malfunction. The unique ROMLink wiring harness design results in reduced maintenance time, reduced troubleshooting time and reduced truck out-of-service time, and correspondingly, increased customer satisfaction. By using a ROMLink when replacing an overfill detection wiring system, tank truck owners can typically reduce the downtime from three to five hours to around 30 minutes. While older systems need daisy-chain 18 MARCH 2012 | FUEL OIL NEWS | www.fueloilnews.com wiring connections, with the ROMLink system you just "plug & load."
