Subject: RE: Pumping chemical out of totes? / Tender trailer set up


I will give you what we have used for about 6 yrs now. It has worked very well for us but everyones situation is different. We have 4 shuttles on the back of a tender truck. Two of those shuttles are a twin tank shuttle that we put together. That means we can haul six different products at one time. We built a manifold system that looks like a bunch of 1" TEE fittings stacked vertically on top of one another. The very top of the tee has a female quick attach with a plug in it so I can hook another shuttle in if needed. We put valves running on the outside of the tees and the very bottom of the tee hooks into a hose leading to a sotera pump and then to a meter. After the meter it runs up the outside of the inductor and dumps in the top. Each valve runs to a shuttle tank with a check valve installed to keep the possibility of back flow into the shuttle. We also have one valve in our block that runs to a fresh water tank so we can clean the manifold, pump and meter at one time. I plumb my inductor before the gas pump. I don't use an educator system on my inductor. I have done this for years and have not seen any more wear on my pump or seals like other have seen. If you would like a picture I can email you one tomorrow of our system. Just a note. This is all on the back of a tandem truck so space was limited for us. Plus I didn't want to get up on the truck to have to load my chemicals and then get back down to finish filling my sprayer.
