PEI Publishes Marina-Fueling Systems Document [1]
Submitted by jessica on
The Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI) has announced that the Recommended Practices for the Installation of Marina-Fueling Systems (PEI/RP1000) is now available for purchase.
The recommended practices document, produced by the PEI Marina-Fueling Systems Installation Committee, is the consensus recommendations of representatives from service and installation contracting companies and regulatory agencies. RP1000 represents the first industry standard describing how to construct a marina-fueling facility that is protective of human health and the environment, simple to construct, easy to maintain, and user-friendly for the operator and customer.
The document offers recommendations for materials, designs, and installation procedures suitable for a wide variety of environments, including fresh and salt water, still and moving water, as well as stable, tidal, and fluctuating water levels.
The single-copy price for RP1000 is $40 for PEI members or $95 for nonmembers. The Recommended Practices can be purchased by visiting www.pei.org/RP1000 [2].
Other PEI recommended practices publications currently available include Installation of Underground Liquid Storage Systems (RP100); Installation of Aboveground Storage Systems (RP200); Installation and Testing of Vapor Recovery Systems at Vehicle Fueling Sites (RP300); Testing Electrical Continuity of Fuel-Dispensing Hanging Hardware (RP400); Inspection and Maintenance of Motor Fuel Dispensing Equipment (RP500); Overfill Prevention for Aboveground Storage Tanks (RP600); Design and Maintenance of Fluid-Distribution Systems (RP700); Installation of Bulk Storage Plants (RP800); and the Inspection and Maintenance of UST Systems (RP900). A recommended practice document on the Storage and Dispensing of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (RP1100) will be released in January 2010.
