ELIMINATE TANK PRESSURISATION critical point where the tank is filled.
The FillSafe™ system provides a fail safe and reliable method
of terminating the flow of fuel into the tank once full, rather
than the need to pressurise the tank to effect nozzle shut-off.
The FillSafe™ ZP System uses a level sensing assembly and
‘transmitter’ unit mounted on the vehicle, which is battery
powered from the vehicle, and a ‘receiver’ unit located near the
filling nozzle, as well as a solenoid valve in the fluid delivery
line.
The FillSafe™ System can be set up two ways. Firstly, as the
only zero pressure level sensing device or secondly, as the
primary zero pressure shutoff device backed up by the
pressurised Banlaw Refuelling System to form a safer double
shutoff system. Using both systems simultaneously will ensure
almost zero spillage, safer refuelling and less stress and longer
life on the vehicle fuel tank.
The benefits of using Banlaw Pipeline FillSafe™ ZP System are
• No tank pressurisation
• Accuracy of fill and reliability in FillSafe™ ZP primary system,
plus the additional security of a secondary pre-existing

EVACUATION FOR FLEET VEHICLES. Typically a vehicle will use oils in its crankcase, hydraulics,
transmission, steering, as well as coolants. Each fill and drain
point will be located differently causing the operator to climb
onto, under or over the machine to complete services.
The LubeCentral™ system links all of these service points
together to a single service box with all inlet points located at
one point on the vehicle, which is easily accessible at ground
level by service personnel. This service box with its own dry
break receivers is then linked by service line hoses to each fill
and evacuation service point, so that filling new oils and
evacuating used oils can be completed at the one service box
location rather than several. Service times are dramatically cut,
and the job is made far easier, with less risk for error or
