Notes:
  • Per NFPA20 2022 11.4.1.3.1 Fuel supply tank(s) shall be sized for a minimum of 12 hours of engine run time based on the fuel supply rate requirements of the engine, plus 5% volume for expansion and 5% volume for sump.
  • Per NFPA20 2022 11.4.1.3.1.1 When the fuel supply rate requirements of the engine are not known, fuel supply tank(s) shall have a capacity at least equal to 1 Gal/HP (5.07L/kW), plus 5% volume for expansion and 5% volume for sump.
  • NFPA Tank Run Time = Listed Power ÷ Fuel Consumption
  • Min. Size for 12 Hour Run Time = Fuel Consumption x 12 hours x 1.1
  • Min. Size for 8 Hour Run Time = Fuel Consumption x 8 hours x 1.1
  • Actual Tank Runtime = Actual Tank Size x 0.9 ÷ Fuel Consumption
  • The fuel tank outlet shall not be lower than the fuel transfer pump
  • Refer to the latest edition of NFPA 20 for all fuel tank and fuel line requirements
