Town of Brookline Fire Department Fuel Tank and Dispenser
CommTank was hired by the Town of Brookline to install an 800-gallon diesel fuel tank at Fire Station #1. This tank will be used to supply diesel fuel to the fire trucks via a dispenser mounted inside the fire station bay.
The job took 5 days to complete and was done in typical cold February temperatures in the buildings parking lot. The tank was first set on a cement pad, and then bollards were installed around the tank to protect it from cars that use the parking lot. We installed a submersible pump in the 800-gallon tank that connects to a Dresser Wayne Fleet dispenser. A coring drill was used to open a hole so that the fuel supply line could be ran inside the bay of the firehouse. The fleet dispenser was then installed inside the bay so that it was secure and only accessible by fire trucks.
