OPW Edge Double Wall Spill Container: Missing Assembly Notice & Instructions

  By BlogAdmin July 28, 2021 , , , , ,

IMPORTANT: EDGE DW Visigauge!!

At this time, OPW Edge DW Spill Container is being shipped without the Visigauge assembly due to a shortage from their vendor.

The product is being produced with a temporary plug cap in its place to allow the factory and the installer to perform the interstitial test to verify the integrity of the containment.

We apologize for the inconvenience and OPW will send out a replacement Visigauge to distributors who purchased this product. It will include a Visigauge assembly and one replacement o-ring seal.

Once you have received the Visigauge, please follow these instructions to install it. (Click here to read OPW’s Edge PDF)
Step 1: First, identify the temporary plug cap as the part with the hexagonal shaped head that is installed at the top of the round white gauge riser.
Step 2: Please unthread the temporary plug cap from the round white gauge riser.
Step 3: Next, install the replacement 0-ring onto the underside seat of the Visigauge as shown below.
Step 4: Finally, thread on the Visigauge into the white gauge adapter. This should be tightened to a quarter turn past finger tight.
Step 5: The Visigauge is now installed and the spill container can be vacuum tested to verify tightness.

5 Reasons Fuel-Site Water Intrusion Is Increasing

  By BlogAdmin December 10, 2018 , , , , , , , , ,

It is a pretty well known fact that most of the Earth’s surface is covered by water so to say it permeates our existence is an understatement.

While this liquid is essential to our existence, it also wreaks havoc on many man-made systems it comes in contact with and in our world of petroleum, it would be classified as a super villain!

And while our industry has been reacting to the havoc water causes for more than a century to develop better ways to keep it out of refueling systems, water intrusion has INCREASED in refueling systems!

Ed KammererThe following is an excerpt, written by Ed Kammerer that appeared in the September, 2018 edition of the Fuel Market News.  Ed is the Director of Global Product Management for OPW, based in Cincinnati, OH, USA. He can be reached at ed.kammerer@opwglobal.com. OPW is leading the way in fueling solutions and innovations worldwide. OPW delivers product excellence and the most comprehensive line of fueling equipment and services to retail and commercial fueling operations around the globe. For more information on OPW, please go to OPWGlobal.com.

Below are some of the highlights pulled from Ed’s article.

OPW War on Water Intrusion

Why the increase??

  • Changes In The Fuel Distribution Infrastructure
  • Installation Procedures
