Fuel Transfer
www.meridianmfg.com Page 13
Fuel Transfer Safety
Transfer procedures are to be used when transferring fuel from a delivery vehicle to the tank. Although some
transfer procedures are unique to some facilities the following general safety procedures MUST ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED:
• Read the Operator Manual before using the fuel tank.
• DO NOT smoke when operating or refueling the fuel tank.
• Keep sparks, ames & hot material away from the fuel tank.
• Turn Vehicle ignition off and remove key from ignition before refueling.
• Keep vehicles at least 1.5 m (5’) away from the fuel tank at all times.
• Never leave the tank unattended while refueling is in process.
• DO NOT overll. 95% capacity is the maximum legal limit.
• Always turn pump off when nished fueling operations.
• Always store pump nozzle in drip pot when not in operation.
DANGER
ALWAYS determine how much fuel your tank can
safely hold. Over lling the tank will cause spills. Check
the fuel level by dip checking the tank prior to any fuel
transfer. Instructions on the correct procedure for dip
checking a tank can be found in this manual.
DANGER
DO NOT OVERFILL. Determine a Safe Gauge Height
(SGH) this is how much fuel a tank can hold allowing
for expansion due to temperature variations. A good
rule of thumb is in summer months the tank should not
be more than 90% full and in winter the tank should not
be more than 95% full.
WARNING
ALWAYS start the fuel transfer at a reduced rate. This
reduces the potential for the build up of static electricity
.
DANGER
ALWAYS maintain good communication with the driver
of the delivery vehicle. Poor communication between
the tank operator and the delivery driver often leads to
spills and accidents.

2300L & 4600L Fuel Tanks
Fuel Transfer
DO NOT LEAVE THE
FUEL TANK UNATTENDED
DURING FUEL TRANSFER
WARNING
DO NOT dispense fuel during transfer procedures.
Top Fill Fuel Transfer
1. Have a pre-transfer meeting with the operator of the
delivery vehicle to determine the correct product is
being transferred into the correct tank. Dip tanks to
conrm the amount of fuel to be added.
2. Inspect transfer hose for visible leaks, cracks or
damage in the line (1). If leaks are present or later
appear do not continue with transfer. Repair as
necessary.
3. Wipe area around the vented fuel cap (2)
with a clean cloth or rag to remove risk of fuel
contamination.
4. Open vented ll cap and place cap in a clean
secure location. Insert the delivery nozzle into the
ll port (2).
NOTE: The 2300L, 4600L and 4595L meter
models operate with a ll port. On models over
10,000L this is replaced with a 3 inch male cam
and drop tube.
5. Start delivery vehicle pump, depress delivery
nozzle handle and slowly begin fuel transfer. Only
increase the ow of the product from the delivery
vehicle when you are sure there are no problems.
7. DO NOT WALK AWAY DURING A TRANSFER.
Continuously monitor the transfer of fuel. At all
times keep in open communication between the
delivery vehicle and tank operator.
8. Regularly check fuel tank levels. Reduce fuel
transfer rates when nearing the top of the tank
to avoid overlling the tanks. Notify the delivery
vehicle operator when the transfer procedure is
almost complete.
9. Release the handle on the delivery nozzle.
10. Turn off the delivery vehicle delivery pump.
11. Remove the delivery nozzle from the ll port and
secure hose and nozzle on the delivery vehicle
12. Conduct a post-transfer meeting between the
delivery operator and tank operator.
13. Dip tanks and record amount of fuel delivered.
14. Replace vented ll cap over the ll port.

Measuring Fuel Tank Levels
www.meridianmfg.com Page 15
Measuring Fuel Tank Levels
NOTE: For more accurate results wait 30 - 60 mins
after refueling then dip check the tanks. This allows
fuel to settle and will give more accurate readings.
1. Remove the dip stick from its position at the side
of the tank.

2. Remove the vented ll cap (2) and insert the dip
stick into the tank until it reaches the bottom.
NOTE: Ensure the dip stick is inserted with the
lowest number on the dip stick placed toward the
bottom of the tank.
3. Remove the dip stick (1) and take note of the
amount of fuel in centimeters (cm) that is showing
on the stick.
4. Replace the vented ll cap.
5. Compare the number of centimeters on the
dip stick with the Fuel Tank Depth Chart in this
manual to determine the amount of fuel in the
tank.
DANGER
Never smoke around the fuel tank or expose the tank
to direct ame!

Pump Operations
Pump Operations
The 2300L & 4600L DW Fuel Tanks each come with
three different pump options. Dependent on the pump
option associated with your tank consult the correct
Installation and Operator Manual provided at time of
purchase for detailed pump installation, operation and
maintenance procedures.
ON
OFF
WARNING
Always keep the nozzle in contact with the container
being lled during the lling process to minimize the
possibility of static electricity build up.

Dispensing Fuel (General)
1. Reset Meter to “0” (if applicable). (Do not reset
meter while dispensing fuel.)
2. Remove dispensing nozzle from the nozzle boot
or drip pot.
3. Move the switch lever to the “ON” position to
power the pump.
4. Insert the dispensing nozzle into the container to
be lled.
5. Operate the nozzle to dispense uid; release
nozzle when the desired amount of uid has been
dispensed.
6. Move switch lever to the “OFF” position to stop
the pump.
7. Remove the dispensing nozzle from the container
and store it in the nozzle boot or drip pot.
Locking The Pump
Dependent on the pump options selected, the pump
nozzle can be pad locked (1) for added security. With
the pump turned off, and the nozzle in the stored
position, a pad lock can be inserted through the locking
link and the nozzle handle opening. This conguration
prevents the nozzle from being removed from the
nozzle cover.
Optional drip pots (2) and chains (3) are also available.
The chain can be wrapped around the nozzle and
secured with a padlock. This secures the nozzle when
not in use or when the tank is left unattended for long
periods of time.

with the pump at the time of sale.
WARNING
DO NOT open or attempt to repair the motor. Opening
the motor will compromise the integrity of the Explosion
Proof Construction and will void any existing warranty
and certication (UL listing).
WARNING
Make Sure all power to the pump is turned off prior to
performing any service or maintenance.
WARNING
In “Skid Tank” applications, make sure the tank is
properly secured so it cannot shift or move when the
tank is empty or full.
NOTE: Consult your local Meridian Dealer for
replacement parts.
