In anticipation of cold weather, most of the facilities under construction go into conservation mode. Exterior work is being completed, pits and communications are being dug in. All equipment is stored until next spring. At this stage, internal work at the facility becomes relevant. Laying internal communications, finishing or other construction work requires comfortable conditions. If your workers have a roof over their heads, but there is no heating at the facility, then this should be taken care of first. Boilers that heat water or antifreeze for heating run on diesel fuel. Constant and automated operation is required to maintain comfortable temperatures at all times. Modern diesel fuel tank made of chemical-resistant plastic will allow you to have a constant supply of fuel and power for boilers. A fix package for the fuel tank is the main equipment for the correct and safe connection of the tank to the heating boiler. Consider how you can choose the right equipment.
Hardware Benefits
There are several tank connection options on the market. For this, fuel intakes or simple rubber hoses with a check valve at the end are used. Using the fix package for connecting the fuel tank to the boiler, you can easily make a safe and correct connection. You can also control the level of fuel in the tank using a level gauge. When connecting the tank in a simpler way, through a suction pipe and a check valve, there is a possibility of sediment fuel intake, as well as airing of the fuel line. Also, if the pipes are not tightly connected to the fuel tank, there will be a high concentration of fuel vapors in the room.
There are fuel intake systems with heating. Such equipment allows you to warm up the place of fuel intake, preventing its thickening. The modern fix package for the fuel tank allows you to connect any container in height and volume. The only limitation is the length of the fuel intake hose. Its float structure allows the upper cleaner fuel to be taken in, which has a very favorable effect on the operation of the fuel filter of the boiler, and prolongs its service life. Connection to the boiler is carried out using polymer or copper tubes 10\12 mm. Fittings for copper tubing are already included in the fix package, while fittings for polymer tubing can be purchased from the supplier upon request.
Description of various configurations
This equipment is not intended for pumping fuel with a large displacement using a fuel pump. Therefore, it is considered erroneous to use such equipment for dispensing fuel. In these cases, armored type MBS hoses and conductors for tanks with a diameter of 20 or 25 mm should be used. In a standard fix package for a fuel tank, you can not use a level gauge. If you have a white tank and not buried in the ground, then the fuel level will be visually visible in the tank. In this case, when buying equipment, you can save. However, this is not always possible.
The standard fix does not include a fuel filter. It, as a rule, in 90% of cases comes with a heating boiler. However, if it was not included in the kit, it can be purchased additionally. You should also remember about the configuration of filters - with and without an air vent. Airing the pipeline is not a regular process. Over time, air can get into the fuel line, which can lead to a malfunction of the burner. Therefore, in the absence of a filter complete with the boiler, purchase it with a built-in air vent.
When laying the length of the supply line, one should also take into account the return pipe, which will be the same length, for dumping fuel back into the tank. It can be ignored, but only if you have a filter with an air vent. It allows you to loop the fuel line, thereby replacing the return line.
When choosing a fixed package, pay attention to the height of the tank, as well as to the presence of a diesel fuel filter in the boiler set. All your questions regarding the equipment are ready to answer the specialists of our company.

- Good afternoon, write how the fix package works? its function is to measure the level in the tank, as well as to be able to draw a pipeline from it to take fuel? How does the fuel pump open when the valve is opened?
Alexander Alexandrovich, we answer your questions:
- "its function is to measure the level in the tank"
The standard package of the fixed package includes a mechanical float level gauge. They can really measure the fuel level in a tank up to 3 m high.- "get the opportunity to conduct a pipeline from it to take fuel"
the pipeline is carried out with a 12mm copper or plastic type pipe between the boiler burner and the fuel intake (included in the fix package).- "And how does it pump fuel when opening the tap?"
the fuel is pumped by the burner of your boiler itself through the fuel intake. The float system allows you to take fuel only from above, i.e. the purest, no sediment. The cock on the fuel intake is always in the open position. - Interested in how you can take fuel from several tanks at the same time? fuel intake from all tanks from above through a fixed package.
The official response of SIVTRADE LLC:
Fuel can be taken through two fuel inlets connected in series one after the other through a tee. However, the practice of using such a connection shows that fuel in the first tank will be consumed a little faster than from the second. But, the difference in level is insignificant, only a few cm.
- Two fixed packages are installed in two tanks, connected through a tee. One fix package is closed, the second is open. In the DUO filter, air is visible and it is always present while the boiler is operating. If you close this fix package and open another one, there is no airing. What could be the reason for the air in the first fix package?
The official response of SIVTRADE LLC:
Sergey, please check / redo the tightness of the connection between the tube and the fuel intake, which, when opened, causes air to enter. Perhaps there is air pumping at the junction. Also, please let us know about the final situation here.

Bank transfer For legal entities we offer bank transfer.By studying the market for equipment offerings that can be used to connect fuel tanks for heating boilers, we are faced with various kinds of “fix packages”. Some suppliers offer a fixed package for the main tank, others an auxiliary fix package, or an additional one. For an ordinary installer, these names do not make much sense, but for a specialist they are important. If it becomes necessary to connect a fuel tank, for a constant supply of fuel to the boiler burner, it is necessary to use the main fix package. It includes all the necessary equipment for taking fuel, measuring its level of residue in the tank, as well as fastening couplings and a breather valve for dumping fuel vapors into the ventilation window. With the help of an auxiliary fix package, you can connect an additional fuel storage tank, but make it independent by opening / shutting off the fuel supply through the fuel intake. Let's take a closer look at how the system works.
Benefits of a fixed package
In a frequent case, for a small cottage, a capacity of 1000 or 2000 liters for diesel fuel is purchased. The container has a sealed screw cap and a one-piece structure of the body walls. Some models of plastic containers already have mounting points for installing the main fix package, so you don’t have to purchase mounting sleeves, thereby reducing the cost of the kit for yourself. Install the elements of the fixed package on the tank body, pump fuel into the lines using a special hand pump and connect the fuel line to the pipes from the heating boiler. Further, after a certain period of residence, there is a need for an additional tank for fuel. In this case, you have only one option - to connect the tank using an auxiliary fix package. However, in this case, you may only need a fuel intake and a tee to connect two tanks in series into one circuit. Why? You can order a white fuel tank. In this case, the fuel level will be visually visible in the tank, and you will not need a level gauge.
However, in most cases, white tanks are made to order, in 3-7 working days, and if the waiting time costs you a pretty penny, then install a level gauge on the second blue tank, which is quite functional and aesthetically pleasing. Another advantage would be the use of one breather valve for two tanks. For example, you can bring a flexible vent pipe from two tanks, connect it with a tee, and then lead it to a ventilation shaft. The only downside to an additional fuel tank would be running a separate fuel filler line.
Description of various configurations
When combining two or more tanks, you can also use only one fix package. If fuel is planned to be taken from only one tank, its level can also be kept the same in all tanks. In this case, you do not need an additional fix package. Tanks can be combined into one "battery" with the help of installed taps from the tank, taps and pipes. The connection allows you to maintain the same or individual fuel level in the tanks, using outlet valves. Also, fuel can be poured into only one tank (!) And evenly spread over the rest of the tanks.
Using such a connection scheme, it should be remembered that it is best to tie completely new tanks. The work performed indoors on the piping of tanks that have already stored diesel fuel is very dangerous for human health. Diesel fuel vapors from the tank can adversely affect human health, its respiratory and nervous systems. Therefore, if you have a need to add another tank, use the auxiliary fix package, as described above. Our specialists can advise you on the configuration and installation of equipment on the tank.
