Design of Gasoline/Diesel fuel pumps for School District Transportation Bldg.

[232gulfstream]

I received a call from a school district we do quite a bit of work at about replacing their existing pumps within their bus yard. The pumps are dated and are in need of replacement. I've never done design/permit drawings for something like this but I am sure our firm is capable of this. This project is located in NJ and I am just wondering is it as simple as getting the cut sheet information from the pump vendor and making sure we have the correct size piping and electrical power available at each pump? Are there any special code requirements we should be concerned about? All ICC codes are very limited in terms of requirements for this type of work.

It is mainly about fire code, which I expect is the top requirement, though I bet there is an environmental protection department that will also be involved.

To pull gasoline up from the tank, one of two kinds of pumps are used: submersible or suction. A submersible pump sits in the gasoline and uses an impeller to push the gasoline up. A suction pump uses pressure to suck gasoline up.

Leave pump repairs to the experts. Those require special training and expertise.

You might want to verify the tank is in compliance with the NJ Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) Program.

NJ is kind enough to provide a list Active Facilities with Compliant Tanks Report
