*This evaluation determined the sensors’ responses to the liquids shown above.  Biodiesel blends B6-B20 meeting ASTM D7467 and biodiesel B100 meeting ASTM D6751 would also produce an alarm if the sensor threshold is exceeded.  Responses to these fuels were not determined, but would be expected to be very similar to the diesel responses.

Comments:
Control panel models:
CPF 1, CPF 2, CPF 3, CPF 4 for liquid level sensors;
CPI 1D, CPI 1H, CPI 1N  inventory control for liquid level sensors and 1 tank;
CPD 1, CPD 2, CPD 4 for discriminating liquid level sensors;
CPI 4 inventory control for liquid level sensors and up to 4 tanks;
BOMC battery operated control cap for liquid level sensors;
CCF 1DA battery operated control cap for dry annulus monitoring;
CCF 2 battery operated control cap for hydrostatic reservoir monitoring.
