Introduction

The economic transformations that have taken place in Russia in recent years have led to fundamental changes in the commodity market. Against the background of the rapid growth of the car park, the number of filling stations has increased several times, and their quality has completely changed. An increasing number of our filling stations began to meet international standards. The capacity of today's gas station network is several times higher than the level of the early 1990s. The number of high-performance fuel dispensers (TRK) has increased and the speed of refueling vehicles has increased. In addition, at modern gas stations and gas stations (gas stations) you can get a whole range of services (oil change, minor repairs, car wash, shop, cafe, etc.).

Increasingly stringent requirements are now being imposed on operating materials (gasolines, diesel fuels, lubricating oils) in terms of quality improvement and economical use. Therefore, knowledge of the composition, properties, areas of application and performance characteristics of petroleum products is necessary for everyone involved in their production, transportation, storage, consumption, and marketing.

The range of petroleum products produced by refineries has changed significantly in recent years. New brands of petroleum fuels with improved environmental properties have appeared. This is achieved by expanding the processes of destructive oil refining, especially hydrocatalytic ones, and the use of effective additives that increase the functional properties of petroleum products.

Gas station history

For the first time, gasoline and other types of fuel, such as household gas, began to be sold in pharmacies; for the owner of the pharmacy, this was an additional source of income and was considered a side business. The first petrol station was a pharmacy in Wiesloch (Germany), where Bertha Benz, the wife of Karl Benz, filled the tank of the first car in which she made her first trip from Mannheim to Pforzheim and back in 1888. In 2008 Bertha Benz installed a memorial plaque to commemorate this event.

Filling station - a complex of buildings with equipment designed to receive, store and issue petroleum products to vehicles, sell oils, greases, spare parts, accessories for vehicles and provide services to owners of individual vehicles.

In our country, motorization of all branches of the national economy is carried out at a rapid pace. The intensive development of road transport should be accompanied by the development of related facilities designed to service cars. This primarily applies to petrol stations. Obviously, without the creation of a sufficient, expediently located, well-planned network of high-performance gas stations, it is difficult to ensure the efficient, economical operation of public road transport and meet the needs of a rapidly growing individual vehicle.

The beginning of the intensive development of the gas station network in our country should be attributed to 1960, that is, to the time when the gas stations were transferred to the oil supply system.

Over the past years, serious qualitative changes have taken place in the system of operation of gas stations, the level of service has sharply increased, and the technical equipment of gas stations has radically changed.

Domestic fuel dispensers, characterized by high reliability and durability, have been created and are being widely introduced.

Prefabricated structures of buildings and premises of gas stations, as well as technological units, have been developed and are being introduced.

Prefabricated gas stations are characterized by great aesthetics.

However, there is still a need to speed up the development of the network of filling stations and further improve them.

Appointment of the gas station

General ideas about gas stations

The main purpose of gas stations is to refuel motor vehicles. The location of the gas station and its production capacity, taking into account the intensity of traffic flows and compliance with the required safety standards - fire, environmental, etc.

Gas station sites should be with asphalt or concrete pavement and provide free access for vehicles to dispensers and drains. In places where oil products may spill near filling islands, the coating must be resistant to oil products.

Gas stations must be equipped with signs indicating the location of a fire reservoir, water intake wells or a fire hydrant, and markers at gas stations with awnings. The territory in the dark must be lit in accordance with existing standards. Special lighting should be given to the lighting of places for refueling and draining oil products. Gas stations must have a landline phone.

Storage of petroleum products at gas stations is carried out in metal horizontal above-ground or buried tanks.

Tanks and their equipment

Rice. 1 general scheme of tank installation

The design of the tank and the technology of its operation must ensure its tightness for 10 years or more. To control the tightness of the tank, it is equipped with appropriate systems that allow timely detection of a leak and taking measures. The tank equipment and its placement should ensure that all necessary technological operations are performed:

Reception (discharge) of oil products is provided by a drain device;

The release of oil products is provided by a dispensing device;

cleaning inside the tank is carried out through a special manhole, which can be made on the cover of the technological neck or separately.

Conventional gas stations have 3-4 types of gasoline and diesel fuel in their set. At the same time, there are several options for filling stations at gas stations: according to the principle, one column - one type of fuel, one point - all types of gasoline and diesel fuel, a mixed option (especially in the presence of gas filling stations). The first option involves driving a car to a strictly defined column, which is not very convenient, because. makes. Therefore, at modern gas stations there is a tendency to the second type.

AGZS are gas filling stations. Usually they are part of gas stations, but due to the special requirements for the refueling process, they are located away from gas stations. Today, with the rise in gasoline prices, the demand for gas filling stations is also growing.

KAFS - container gas station or gas station of modular (container) type. Such a mini-gas station is designed for receiving, storing and dispensing one or two types of fuel in the territory of settlements. Gas stations have an above-ground fuel storage tank. Its technological system is characterized by the placement of gas stations (fuel dispensers) in a single unit with a fuel storage container. Convenient for quick deployment of filling stations

MTAZS is a multi-fuel filling station. Allows you to simultaneously sell two types of fuel (liquid motor fuel and liquefied hydrocarbon gas). There are still few such gas stations, but the fashion for gas equipment should do its job - MTAZS will become a common type of gas station.

Diesel fuel is a liquid product used as a fuel in a diesel internal combustion engine, as well as in gas diesel engines. Usually, this term is understood as fuel obtained from kerosene-gas oil fractions of direct distillation of oil.

Gasoline is a combustible mixture of light hydrocarbons with a boiling point of 30 to 200 °C.

Propane, C3H8 is an organic substance of the alkane class. Contained in natural gas, formed during the cracking of petroleum products.

Butane (C4H10) is an organic compound of the alkane class. In chemistry, the name is mainly used to refer to n-butane. The mixture of n-butane and its isomer isobutane CH(CH3)3 has the same name. Poisonous, inhalation of butane causes dysfunction of the pulmonary-respiratory apparatus.

Fuel dispensers

Gas stations use fuel, oil and mixture dispensers designed to refuel vehicles with simultaneous measurement of the amount of fuel, oil or mixture dispensed. The dispensers as strict metering devices are equipped with measuring devices, the reading error of which under operating conditions at an ambient and fuel temperature of + -40С should not go beyond: + -0.25% of fuel dispensers for general use.

Design software distinguishes the following types of speakers:

· КР - portable with the manual drive;

· KER - stationary with electric drive;

· KEM - stationary with an electric drive and control from a local setting device;

· КА - stationary with the electric drive, automated.

Fuel dispensers, regardless of design and manufacturer, have a pump, a liquid meter, a counting device, a gas separator with a float chamber, a filter, an indicator, a dispensing valve, a check valve and a housing.

Filling station operation

environmental protection

The source of environmental pollution at gas stations is the evaporation of oil products, spills of oil products, as well as exhaust gases from motor vehicles.

On the territory of the gas station, it is necessary to periodically check the gas contamination of the surrounding air.

Discharge of untreated sewage into water bodies is strictly prohibited.

The change of filter materials, as well as the removal of trapped oil products and sediment from treatment facilities, must be carried out as necessary.

It is necessary to systematically monitor the cleanliness of sewer wells, prevent flooding of their outlets, at least 2 times a year to clean and conduct an internal inspection of the existing equipment of the sewer network, wells and necessary repairs.

Fire prevention and safety measures

When operating gas stations, fire safety rules must be strictly observed.

It is forbidden to use temporary electrical wiring, electric stoves, reflectors and other electrical appliances with open heating elements in the premises of the gas station.

On the territory of the gas station it is prohibited:

· - to smoke and use open fire;

- wash hands, wash clothes and wipe the floors of the room with flammable liquids;

· - presence of unauthorized persons not related to refueling.

- refuel vehicles whose drivers are in a state of intoxication;

· - refuel tractors with rubber wheels that do not have spark arresters.

· - refuel vehicles, except for passenger cars, in which there are passengers.

When refueling vehicles at gas stations, the following rules must be observed:

· -Motorcycles, scooters, mopeds must be mixed to and from fuel-mixing dispensers and from them manually with the engine turned off, the start and stop of which must be carried out at a distance of at least 15 meters from the dispensers;

· - All operations when refueling vehicles should be carried out only in the presence of the driver and with the engine turned off;

· - Oil products spilled during refueling should be covered with sand, and sand collected in a metal box with a tight-fitting lid;

· - Sand is taken out from the territory of gas station in specially taken away places;

· -After refueling vehicles with fuel, the driver must install a dispensing valve in the dispenser;

The distance between the car standing under the gas station and the next one behind it must be at least 3 meters, and between subsequent cars in the queue - at least 1 meter.

Lightning protection

The facilities of oil supply enterprises must be protected from direct lightning strikes, its secondary manifestations in accordance with the requirements of the Instructions for the lightning protection of buildings and structures RD 34.21.122-87.

When protecting steel tanks with separate lightning rods, the tank bodies must be connected to grounding. It is allowed to connect down conductors of separate lightning rods to these groundings.

The connection of tanks to the ground must be carried out no more than 50 m along the perimeter of the tank base, while the number of connections must be at least two.

For tanks of category II, protection against electromagnetic induction should be made every 25-30 m in the form of metal jumpers between pipelines connected to the tank, cables in a metal case and other extended metal structures located at a distance of 10 m or less from each other.

Installation of jumpers at the joints (joints) of metal pipelines or other extended structures is not required.

Automotive Gasolines

Gasoline is the fuel for carbureted spark ignition engines. To ensure reliable operation of engines in all modes, gasoline must have the following properties: complete volatility to achieve the highest possible combustion efficiency; high detonation resistance; high chemical stability, which predetermines the absence of a tendency to form deposits in the engine fuel system; good compatibility with materials; low corrosive aggressiveness in relation to metals and no impact on rubber products.

Chemical properties of gasoline

Gasolines are highly volatile and flammable liquids. They contain about 85% by mass of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and small amounts of oxygen (O), nitrogen (N) and sulfur S. Therefore, when gasoline is completely burned, the exhaust gases mainly consist of water and carbon dioxide.


Physical properties of gasoline

The physical properties include: density, viscosity, surface tension, heat of combustion, refractive index, volatility, oxidizability, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity. corrosiveness, chemical stability, tendency to form deposits in the form of carbon deposits, toxicity.

Modern gas station

The automaker MAZDA has received approval from the Japanese authorities to operate the first hydrogen filling station.

The new station is designed to refuel all types of vehicles with hydrogen engines, where hydrogen is stored in a gaseous compressed state.

The developed modern technologies make it possible to produce environmentally friendly, environmentally friendly refueling on water, which meets the requirements of the EU and RUSSIA.

Conclusion

petrol filling station

A modern gas station is not just a "tank-pump-dispenser" system designed to fill a gas tank. This is a whole complex for the provision of all necessary services on the road. Let's hope that the further development of gas stations will go in the same direction: modern design, modern technologies, modern services and, most importantly, high quality fuel.

Figuratively speaking, a gas station is a kind of small distribution tank farm that provides cars with fuel. Therefore, much of what is stated above from the field of design and operation takes place at the enterprises considered below.

Filling station (gas station) - a complex of buildings, structures and equipment, limited by a site site and intended for refueling vehicles (except tracked vehicles) with motor fuel.

The gas station organizes the sale of oils, greases, spare parts, accessories for cars and other vehicles, the acceptance of used oils and small containers from oil products from the owners of individual vehicles, maintenance, as well as the provision of services for the maintenance of vehicles, their owners and passengers.

They are divided into public gas stations, which refuel any cars, regardless of their type of ownership and departmental affiliation, and departmental gas stations, which refuel cars only of certain enterprises, organizations, firms. At the first stations, retail trade in fuel is carried out for money, or through a non-cash payment system. On the second, cashless delivery of fuel is carried out with the implementation of its strict accounting for each consumer (for example, refueling vehicles of a motor transport company).

Public gas stations are usually located in places with the greatest concentration of cars: at parking lots, at intersections of roads, on highways, etc.

Departmental gas stations are usually located on the territory of those enterprises whose cars they fill. When organizing them, the local conditions of these enterprises are used, so their design often differs from the designs of stations with exactly the same general requirements for them.

By the number of services provided, gas stations are divided into gas stations proper, which only refuel vehicles with fuel and oils, and gas stations (gas stations), where, in addition to refueling vehicles with fuel and oils, they carry out maintenance, washing, and stores selling spare parts, packaged petroleum products , cafes and restaurants, campsites and other facilities for the provision of services for the maintenance of vehicles and their owners and passengers. ACPs may only cover a subset of the services listed above.

The following classification of filling stations has been adopted.

A traditional filling station is a gas station with an underground location of fuel storage tanks, the technological scheme of which is characterized by the separation of tanks and fuel dispensers (TRK).

Modular filling station - a gas station with an underground location of fuel storage tanks, the technological scheme of which is characterized by the placement of the fuel dispenser above the fuel storage unit, made as a single factory product.

Modular filling station - a filling station with an above-ground arrangement of fuel storage tanks, the technological scheme of which is characterized by the separation of the fuel dispenser and the fuel storage container, made as a single factory product.

Modular gas stations located outside settlements and enterprises are divided into two types: type A - the total capacity of the tanks is from 40 to 100 m3; type B - no more than 40 m3.

Mobile filling station - a filling station intended for the retail sale of fuel, the mobile technological system of which is installed on a car chassis, trailer or semi-trailer and is made as a single factory product.

Container filling station - a filling station with an above-ground location of fuel storage tanks, the technological system of which is characterized by the placement of the fuel dispenser in a fuel storage container, made as a single factory product.

Container filling stations are divided into 2 types:

Type A - if the total capacity of the gas station tanks is more than 20 m3;

Type B - if the total capacity of the gas station tanks is not more than 20 m3.

Fuel-dispensing point - a gas station located on the territory of an enterprise and intended for refueling vehicles of this enterprise.

Multi-fuel filling station - a gas station on the territory of which refueling of vehicles with two or three types of fuel is provided, among which liquid motor fuel (gasoline and diesel fuel), liquefied gas (liquefied propane - butane) and compressed natural gas are allowed.

Automobile gas-filling compressor station - a gas station, on the territory of which refueling of fuel system cylinders is provided: trucks, special and passenger cars with compressed natural gas used as their motor fuel.

Automobile gas filling station - a gas station, on the territory of which refueling of cylinders of trucks, special and passenger cars with liquefied gas (liquefied propane-butane), used as their motor fuel, is provided.

Stationary gas stations are located in settlements and on highways. In terms of productivity, they are divided by the number of filling stations during peak hours - 57, 100, 135, 170 vehicles per hour.

Container filling stations (KAZS) are located on highways, tourist routes, in car fleets, at industrial and agricultural enterprises, paid parking lots, in garage cooperatives, as well as in other places where vehicles are concentrated.

Mobile gas stations (PAZS) are placed in places of concentration of vehicles, motor boats and boats, agricultural machinery, on tourist routes, the territory of stationary gas stations during the cleaning and repair of tanks.

Delivery of motor fuels to gas stations is carried out by road or, in rare cases, by rail and pipelines. Filling stations are subordinate to oil depots, service plants, industrial associations, joint-stock companies, as well as private enterprises and owners.

The construction of gas stations can be carried out both according to standard projects and according to individual ones. Technical characteristics of typical gas stations are given in Table. 7.1.

Fuel

A filling station, or gas station, is a complex of buildings (structures), the main functional purpose of which is to refuel vehicles with motor fuel, oils and special fluids. Modern gas stations are classified according to several characteristics:

  • design (block, modular, container, mobile);
  • placement of tanks (above ground, underground, on a vehicle);
  • location on the ground (urban, road, rural, river);
  • destination:

Departmental, or fueling points of large enterprises with a significant number of vehicles (cars, tractors, road equipment, etc.), providing them (enterprises) with independence from centralized supplies of motor fuel;

Common use.

The difference in design, more than other characteristics, affects the functionality of the gas station, which requires a more detailed consideration of this principle of classification.

Container filling station (KAZS)

The term "container filling station", or CAFS, is understood as a filling complex, the distinguishing feature of which is the placement of a fuel tank and fuel dispensers in a single container. The supervisory control panel is also placed in the container. By definition, gas filling stations consist of several storage containers and a control container and differ from each other only in the type (capacity) of tanks, the number and type of dispensers and the composition of the equipment.

The installation of vibration filters at the gas station ensures the purification of motor fuel from water and dirt, which, in turn, guarantees the protection of the consumer's car engines. It is noteworthy that the operation of vibration filters does not require electricity, since the cleaning process takes place at the molecular level.

Gas filling stations are most in demand as fuel dispensing points for enterprises and large construction projects or temporary fuel storage points.

Modular gas station, or MAZS

MAZS is the most popular version of a mobile gas station, combining the high functionality of traditional gas stations with an affordable price. The modular design of filling stations provides the ability to create filling complexes of any configuration that meets the operational requirements.

The design of the MAZS is characterized by the separation of the storage container and fuel dispensers, made in the form of a single factory product. Manufacturers offer modular filling stations designed for several (up to four inclusive) types of liquid motor fuel.

The main advantages of the MAZS are:

  • lack of attachment to the land, which, in turn, frees from the preparation of the territory for placement;
  • quick commissioning due to a high degree of factory readiness;
  • the presence of two versions (abbreviated and extended);
  • positioning as a mobile capacity eliminates the need for approvals;
  • high level of safety (double-walled tanks) and environmental reliability;
  • ease of maintenance, causing a minimum of staff.

Block gas station

BAZS is a single structure used for filling, long-term storage and distribution of fuel products. The main feature of the block station is the underground placement of tanks and the above-ground placement of fuel dispensers. It (the station) is adapted for the simultaneous finding of three types of oil products (motor gasolines of various grades and diesel fuel).

The design of the BAZS is a combination of a double-walled waterproofed tank, a monocolumn for a canopy and the canopy itself.

Block filling stations are controlled both by the operator and automatically, in the autonomous loading mode. The electronic equipment installed at the BAZS allows monitoring the density, temperature, volume and level of oil products, as well as the level of produced water.

In addition, block gas stations are equipped with automatic fire extinguishing systems that destroy the source of ignition.

Block, however, as well as modular filling stations are especially popular with the consumer due to the uniqueness of their economic characteristics - rationality and profitability.

Mobile gas station

PAZS is nothing more than a special truck designed to provide consumers with light oil products (kerosene, diesel fuel, gasoline), the density of which does not exceed 0.86 grams per cubic centimeter, in areas with a low density of gas stations. The main function of mobile filling stations is the transportation and metered distribution of motor fuel.

Standard equipment
i mobile filling stations include:

Fuel storage tank;

Autonomous power source (gasoline or diesel generator);

fuel dispenser;

Fuel dispensing system equipped with an electronic display showing fuel consumption.

PAZS are indispensable in places of large parking lots, on the routes of popular tourist routes, on construction sites and agricultural lands. They are successfully applied when carrying out repair work on the technological equipment of stationary gas stations. The operating temperature range of the PAZS is quite wide and is located in the range from 400C to - dosed 400C.

Gas filling stations, or automobile gas-filling compressor stations (CNG filling stations)

The functional purpose of CNG filling stations is to organize the refueling of vehicles with alternative fuel, which is compressed (compressed to a liquid state) natural gas.

The main difference between CNG filling stations and gas filling stations of the usual type, which carry out exclusively the sale of motor fuel, lies in the complex processing of natural gas supplied through the gas pipeline.

The technological process of processing consists of the following operations:

  • Purification of raw gas from mechanical impurities and dropping liquid by means of a system of filters and separators.
  • Commercial measurement of gas volume.
  • Multi-stage compression (compression) of gas up to 25.0 MPa, accompanied by a mandatory procedure for cooling compressor units after each stage.
  • Drying of gas in a special unit.
  • Accumulation in storage tanks (P=25.0 MPa).
  • Supply to gas filling columns for sale at a pressure of 20.0 MPa.

The modern network is formed from CNG filling stations of several basic sizes (the unit of measurement is the performance of the station, expressed in conditional fillings during the day):

Stationary - 500;

Block-container - 250;

Modular block-container - 125;

INTRODUCTION

A few years ago, the trade in fuels and lubricants (POL) was widespread in the sphere of a rather narrow circle of enterprises and organizations. However, at present, due to its almost 100% liquidity and high profitability, this type of entrepreneurial activity has become one of the most popular. Many enterprises and organizations that have never been involved in the trade of fuels and lubricants have become involved in this process. Therefore, many organizations have questions related to the peculiarities of legal regulation and taxation of activities for the production and sale of fuels and lubricants.

General position

1.1. Filling stations (gas stations) are designed to refuel vehicles (except tracked vehicles) with petroleum products. Some gas stations organize the sale of oils, greases, spare parts, accessories for cars and other vehicles, receive used oils and small containers from oil products from owners of individual vehicles, as well as maintenance and car washing. 1.2.

Appointment of the gas station

General ideas about gas stations

The main purpose of gas stations is to refuel motor vehicles. The location of the gas station and its production capacity, taking into account the intensity of traffic flows and compliance with the required safety standards - fire, environmental, etc.

Gas station sites should be with asphalt or concrete pavement and provide free access for vehicles to dispensers and drains. In places where oil products may spill near filling islands, the coating must be resistant to oil products.

Gas stations must be equipped with signs indicating the location of a fire reservoir, water intake wells or a fire hydrant, and markers at gas stations with awnings. The territory in the dark must be lit in accordance with existing standards. Special lighting should be given to the lighting of places for refueling and draining oil products. Gas stations must have a landline phone.

Storage of petroleum products at gas stations is carried out in metal horizontal above-ground or buried tanks.

The design of the tank and the technology of its operation must ensure its tightness for 10 years or more. To control the tightness of the tank, it is equipped with appropriate systems that allow timely detection of a leak and taking measures.

Underground storage tanks for petroleum products;

1 - drain device; 2 - fuel tank; 3 - receiving valve; 4 - corner anti-explosive; 5 - measuring device; 6 - respiratory valve; 7 - fuel dispenser

1 - trunk; 2 - head; 3 - submersible pump; 4 - breathing valve with a fire fuse; 5 - thermal insulation backfill; 6 - ice lining

A schematic diagram of a stationary filling station is shown in fig. 14.16. The oil product delivered to the gas station using tankers is drained through device 1 into fuel tank 2. Here it settles, its quantity is measured through device 5. The oil product is released to consumers using a fuel dispenser 7 connected to the tank by a pipeline on which valve 3, and an angular fuse 4. "Breathing" of the tanks is carried out through valve 6.

For storage of petroleum products at gas stations, horizontal and vertical steel tanks with a capacity of 5 to 50 m3 and a wall thickness of 3...4 mm are used. Tanks at filling stations are usually distributed as follows: 75% for gasoline, 15% for diesel fuel and up to 10% for oils. Gas station tanks are designed for excess pressure of 700000 and vacuum - 1000 Pa. Measuring device 5 is used to measure the level of overflow of oil in the tank. It provides the vertical direction of the measuring rail (meter rod). Structurally, the measuring device is a perforated pipe with a diameter of 40 mm with a lid.

Quick and tight connection of the nipple with the sleeve of the tanker is provided by a special quick coupling. For storage of petroleum products at gas stations, horizontal and vertical steel tanks with a capacity of 5 to 50 m3 and a wall thickness of 3...4 mm are used. Tanks at filling stations are usually distributed as follows: 75% for gasoline, 15% for diesel fuel and up to 10% for oils. Gas station tanks are designed for excess pressure of 700000 and vacuum - 1000 Pa. Measuring device 5 is used to measure the level of overflow of oil in the tank. It provides the vertical direction of the measuring rail (meter rod). Structurally, the measuring device is a perforated pipe with a diameter of 40 mm with a lid. To connect the dispensers to the tanks, a suction device is used, consisting of a receiving valve 3, an angle fuse 4 and a suction pipeline. The purpose of the intake valve 3 is to prevent the discharge of oil from the suction pipeline into the tank after the dispensing column is turned off. When the pump stops, the pressure in the pipeline and in the tank equalizes and the valve disc, under the action of its own weight, sits on the seat, blocking the cross section. Corner protector 4 prevents the flame from spreading through the suction pipe. To do this, a brass mesh is installed inside the metal case, which simultaneously acts as a filter for the oil product pumped out of the tank.

Fuel - dispensers are designed for refueling vehicles with simultaneous measurement of the amount of fuel or oil dispensed. Despite the differences in the designs of dispensers, they all include a pump, a liquid meter, a filter, a dispensing sleeve and a dispensing tap. The pump of the fuel dispenser is intended for pumping fuel from the gas station tank into the tanks of vehicles. Since the tank is below the column, the pump is self-priming. The capacity of fuel dispenser pumps ranges from 20 to 70 l/min.

The liquid meter is used to measure the consumption of fuel or oil supplied to consumers. The results of instantaneous measurements are summarized and recorded on the counting device as the total amount of released liquid. The filter is used to remove mechanical impurities from the liquid entering the column. The dispensing sleeve is intended for pumping liquid and connecting the dispenser with a dispensing tap. In dispensing columns, rubber-fabric petrol-resistant sleeves with a diameter of 25 mm for a pressure of 0.4 MPa are used. The dispensing tap is used to quickly cut off the fuel jet when it reaches the maximum level in the car tank, in order to prevent overfilling and related losses.

The tank equipment and its placement should ensure that all necessary technological operations are performed:

Reception (discharge) of oil products is provided by a drain device;

The release of oil products is provided by a dispensing device;

cleaning inside the tank is carried out through a special manhole, which can be made on the cover of the technological neck or separately.

Conventional gas stations have 3-4 types of gasoline and diesel fuel in their set. At the same time, there are several options for filling stations at gas stations: according to the principle, one column - one type of fuel, one point - all types of gasoline and diesel fuel, a mixed option (especially in the presence of gas filling stations). The first option involves driving a car to a strictly defined column, which is not very convenient, because. makes. Therefore, at modern gas stations there is a tendency to the second type.

AGZS are gas filling stations. Usually they are part of gas stations, but due to the special requirements for the refueling process, they are located away from gas stations. Today, with the rise in gasoline prices, the demand for gas filling stations is also growing.

KAFS - container gas station or gas station of modular (container) type. Such a mini-gas station is designed for receiving, storing and dispensing one or two types of fuel in the territory of settlements. Gas stations have an above-ground fuel storage tank. Its technological system is characterized by the placement of gas stations (fuel dispensers) in a single unit with a fuel storage container. Convenient for quick deployment of filling stations

MTAZS is a multi-fuel filling station. Allows you to simultaneously sell two types of fuel (liquid motor fuel and liquefied hydrocarbon gas). There are still few such gas stations, but the fashion for gas equipment should do its job - MTAZS will become a common type of gas station.

Diesel fuel is a liquid product used as a fuel in a diesel internal combustion engine, as well as in gas diesel engines. Usually, this term is understood as fuel obtained from kerosene-gas oil fractions of direct distillation of oil.

Benzine is a combustible mixture of light hydrocarbons with a boiling point of 30 to 200 °C.

Propane, C3H8 is an organic substance of the alkane class. Contained in natural gas, formed during the cracking of petroleum products.

Butane (C4H10) is an organic compound of the alkane class. In chemistry, the name is used primarily to refer to butane. The mixture of butane and its isomer isobutane CH(CH3)3 has the same name. Poisonous, inhalation of butane causes dysfunction of the pulmonary-respiratory apparatus.

Fuel dispensers

Gas stations use fuel, oil and mixture dispensers designed to refuel vehicles with simultaneous measurement of the amount of fuel, oil or mixture dispensed. The dispensers as strict metering devices are equipped with measuring devices, the reading error of which under operating conditions at an ambient and fuel temperature of + -40С should not go beyond: + -0.25% of fuel dispensers for general use.

Design software distinguishes the following types of speakers:

· KR - portable with the manual drive;

·КЭР - stationary with the electric drive;

· KEM - stationary with electric drive and control from a local setting device;

· КА - stationary with the electric drive, automated.

Fuel dispensers, regardless of design and manufacturer, have a pump, a liquid meter, a counting device, a gas separator with a float chamber, a filter, an indicator, a dispensing valve, a check valve and a housing.

Filling station operation

environmental protection

The source of environmental pollution at gas stations is the evaporation of oil products, spills of oil products, as well as exhaust gases from motor vehicles.

On the territory of the gas station, it is necessary to periodically check the gas contamination of the surrounding air.

Discharge of untreated sewage into water bodies is strictly prohibited.

The change of filter materials, as well as the removal of trapped oil products and sediment from treatment facilities, must be carried out as necessary.

It is necessary to systematically monitor the cleanliness of sewer wells, prevent flooding of their outlets, at least 2 times a year to clean and conduct an internal inspection of the existing equipment of the sewer network, wells and necessary repairs.
