Fuel Types AvailableDiesel s produced from the fractional distillation of crude oil between 200 °C (392 °F) and 350 °C (662 °F) at atmospheric pressure, resulting in a mixture of carbon chains that typically contain between 8 and 21 carbon atoms per molecule. Certain types of automotives including some military vehicles use diesel fuel as they have a lower flammability.
Gasoline Gasoline is the fuel for spark ignition engines. Generally gasoline contains other elements such as isopropyl alcohol. It can be kept in a stable condition for many years if stored in the right conditions. Many civilian vehicles use gasoline as well as some military vehicles.
Aviation Fuel is a high quality variety of gasoline with additives to prevent things like icing and to maintain stability at high temperature. Smaller turboprop planes, some helicopters are among the many uses for Avgas, while most planes (such as military jets and commercial jets) supplied through FODE use jet fuel.
Fueling StationsFueling stations can be modeled for specific nations, but essentially the model used by FODE is thus:
1. Most of the fueling installation is underground, pump machines in the forecourt and a point of service inside a building. Single or multiple fuel tanks are deployed underground. Fuel is usually offloaded from a tanker truck into the tanks through a separate valve, located on the filling station's perimeter. Fuel from the tanks travels to the dispenser pumps through underground pipes. For every fuel tank, direct access must be available at all times.Tanks can be accessed through a service canal directly from the forecourt.
2. Stations employ a single pipe for every dispenser. This pipe houses a number of smaller pipes for the individual fuel types. Fuel tanks, dispenser and nozzles used to fill car tanks employ vapor recovery systems, which prevents releases of vapor into the atmosphere with a system of pipes. The exhausts are placed as high as possible. A vapor recovery system may be employed at the exhaust pipe. This system collects the vapors, liquifies them and releases them back into the lowest grade fuel tank available.
3. The forecourt is the part of a filling station where vehicles are refueled. Fuel dispensers are placed on concrete plinths, as a precautionary measure. Additional elements may be employed, including metal barriers. The area around the fuel dispensers must have a drainage system. Since fuel sometimes spills on the ground, as little of it as possible should penetrate the soil. Any liquids present on the forecourt will flow into a channel drain before it enters a petrol interceptor which is designed to capture any hydrocarbon pollutants and filter these from rainwater which may then proceed to a foul sewer, stormwater drain or to ground.
4. Space is allotted to add areas such as cash registry area as well as convenience stores or cafes. Larger designs may include restaurants, car washes and mechanics’ shops as desired.
