Diesel Tanks And Oil Tanks

Reverso Pumps, leading manufacturer of marine oil change systems, pumps, fuel primers and fuel polishing systems, has introduced a Diesel Fuel Service Cart that efficiently removes water and bacterial growth from diesel fuel that can damage pumps and injectors.

The 3 in 1 system polishes diesel fuel in storage tanks, as it is dispensed or after it has been sitting unused in an engine tank for an extended period. The compact, lightweight Cart can be maneuvered and operated by one person. The Cart can run unattended, has maintenance alarms, and clogged filter & water level shutdown features.

OCEAN CITY -- On July 28, 1987, I left the dock at 7 a.m. with four anglers aboard and my first mate. We ran to a wreck on Fenwick Shoal and caught lots of small sea bass along with 17 keepers and one very large triggerfish. We had large amberjacks following a surface plug we were casting but none actually hit it. We returned to the slip at 12:47 p.m.

On July 31, 1996, we left the dock at 6:07 a.m., ran out to the 20-fathom line and caught a dolphin, two yellowfin tuna and released a bunch of bluefin tuna. The wind blew 10 knots from the southwest in the morning and 15-20 knots in the afternoon. We ran through squall on the way home and returned to the dock at 4:55 p.m.

On July 19, 2003, I had 4,041 hours on my engine; I put 51.8 gallons of diesel in my port tank and 32 gallons in my starboard. The price of fuel was $1.43 per gallon.

I know those specific details because I've always kept a log of what I have considered to be important details of what goes on aboard my boat. After 24 years of running my own charter boat, I now have the events from thousands of trips to review whenever I wish. While much of this information might never be used for anything but a reminder of how things were back in the good old days, there's also a lot of stuff on the worn-out pages that is of great help in not only catching fish, but also understanding trends within our fisheries, keeping in touch with clients, maintaining the boat, and a menagerie of other issues.

Fuel manufacturer Caltex will expand its fuel terminal at Port Hedland in Western Australia to meet demand from the resource sector for diesel.

Caltex will install two 20 million litre diesel tanks and a road tanker loading facility and provisions to allow further investment in petrol storage if needed.

Construction is expected to begin next month and be completed late next year. We currently have a small presence in supplying diesel to the north west of Australia, however meeting the needs of existing and potential new customers will require additional storage capacity to ensure reliable supply, Caltexs national distribution manager, Mike Raleigh, says.

Caltex says the investment will give it a national supply chain and add significant capacity to service the mining and offshore oil and gas industry in the north west of Western Australia.

After more than a year of startup aches and pains, lessons learned and a few fits and starts, this manufacturing firm in Groton has opened its doors and is preparing to market its biofuel products - biodiesel for vehicles and heating oil for homes - to southeastern Connecticut.

From its small production plant in Groton, chock full of large tanks and storage drums to accommodate the used restaurant oils it transforms into fuel, Constitution Biofuels hopes to become a major player in the growing - and "green" - biofuel industry.
