How the system works
How OPS Fuel's part of the world fits together — and what breaks when it doesn't.
OPS Fuel
Stations
Underground or bunded tanks, automatic tank gauges, dispensers, a canopy, an emergency stop, a tanker fill point and vent stacks.
Power
Dispensers need power; in a power cut the pumps stop.
Deliveries
Tankers refill tanks at the fill point.
Safety
Fuel vapour ignites easily — no sparks, phones or smoking near open fuel.

Overview
OPS Fuel stations store unleaded, super and diesel in tanks with automatic tank gauges. Dispensers need power, and an emergency stop cuts every pump. Service visits keep everything working and safe; they're timed on site.
The equipment — and what it does
The pump. It needs power and fuel in the tank.
