  • Fuel delivery sump based fuel filtration, coalescing, and water separation system with water storage and multiple operational modes
    Patent number: 12195323
    Abstract: A sump space unit for dewatering fuel in an underground fuel storage tank includes fuel filtration, coalescing, and water separation with water storage. The system includes a) a housing configured to be placed within a fuel delivery sump space above an underground fuel storage tank; b) A particulate media element within the housing; c) A coalescing media element within the housing; d) A water separation media element within the housing; and e) A water/fuel storage area within the housing. In one operational mode the flow is directed through at least one of the particulate media element, the coalescing media element and the water separation media element. In one operational mode the system receives water from the underground storage tank into the housing bypassing each of the particulate media element, the coalescing media element and the water separation media element.
