Banlaw’s dry break receivers are typically used for diesel refuelling into industrial vehicles & equipment fuel tanks. Banlaw offers a variety of dry break receiver configurations to suit various applications, including our 23 series which is compatible with refuelling nozzles supplied by other OEM’s.

Pressureless, Mechanical Tank Overfill Protection Solutions for Diesel Locomotives

Modern engines and plant equipment are designed to offer increased efficiency, reduced emissions and longer service intervals. As a result, they are also more sensitive to fuel and oil contaminants. In particular, higher operating pressures within fuel systems to achieve a more complete combustion process leads to closer tolerances between moving parts, causing even smaller particles to have an effect on the clearances between these components. Modern ULSDs and biodiesels also pose an increased risk of microbial contamination, which left undetected, can seriously degrade the quality of the fuel and introduce other problems including reduced fuel filter life and accelerated corrosion of tanks, pipes and other metal system components.

Pacific National – a large freight loco operator in Australia – had safety concerns regarding their fluid couplings used within In Line Refuelling systems, commonly used on longer haul journeys. Concerns included: spillage of fuel when connecting and disconnecting the couplings, difficulty in connecting the couplings with residual fuel pressure within the hose, and unintentional disconnection of the couplings during a journey.

With more than 35 years’ experience, Banlaw has a thorough understanding of the challenges and barriers to fuel management, monitoring and reconciliation. Our team of experienced engineers can assist you to solve your refuelling and fuel handling problems, minimising risks and improving your bottom line.
