The Impact

Abstract Heavy (Class 8) truck fuel storage location and geometry has not significantly changed in several decades. Manufacturers have taken steps to improve their designs by eliminating cross over lines and making material property and thickness changes, among other changes, but there has been no mandate or significant effort to decrease the potential for post collision fuel fed fires in heavy trucks. Even with these design changes, FARS data indicates the number of fatal post-impact fires has not decreased over time. Several studies were conducted in the 1980’s and 1990’s that brought the unprotected design of the fuel storage on these vehicles to light. This paper combines these historical works with current FARS data on the subject and describes a different design approach that increases the impact protection of the fuel storage tank. This new approach uses the truck’s frame rails to guard the fuel storage tank and absorb and redirect impact energy. Currently, a heavy truck “saddle” mounted fuel tank’s integrity is tested through a 30 foot drop test prescribed by 49 CFR 393 and also listed in SAE Recommended Procedure J703. In this work, a crash test methodology used to test the integrity of a school bus side mounted fuel tank as prescribed in FMVSS 301S is discussed. Results of using this crash methodology on a current “saddle” tank design and a prototype of the new fuel storage system design are also presented.

Residual Heat

Chinese 10 MW High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (HTR-10) has inherent safety; the residual heat of the spent fuel could be removed by natural ventilation in loading process. The spent fuel storage tank could shield radiation; the outside is covered by an iron sleeve; the spent fuel tank would be stored in atmosphere after fully loaded, and the residual heat could be discharged by natural ventilation in interim storage stage. The calculation showed that, the maximum temperature locates in the middle of the fuel pebble bed in the spent fuel tank in loading process and interim storage stage, and the temperature decrease gradually with radial distance; the temperature in the tank body and sleeve is evenly; it is feasible to remove the residual heat of the spent fuel tank by natural ventilation, and in the natural ventilation condition, the temperature of the spent fuel and the tank is lower than the temperature limit, which provides theoretical evidence for the choice of the residual heat removal method in loading process and interim storage stage.

ABSTRACT In October 1975, product accountability suggested the loss of approximately 83,000 gallons of JP-4 from a newly cleaned 3.3 million gallon above ground storage tank at a U.S. government-owned fuel terminal. There was no visible evidence of a leak; however, a soil investigation confirmed the presence and extent of the fuel loss. Fuel was found within the porous ground at the water table 7-to-14 ft below the surface. Quick response permitted the use of a construction site well point system to contain the leak within the tank farm by drawdown and reversal of the water table gradient. Recovery of product was accomplished by diverting the pump discharge through the dike drainage system to the terminal oil/water separator. Approximately 21,000 gallons of fuel were recovered in a one month period. High system costs and declining flow and fuel recovery rates resulted in attempts to use different systems. A large diameter excavation and a new well point system failed to recover additional fuel; it was lost to evaporation or bound within the soil for bacterial degradation. It is recommended that spill plans for terminals in areas with porous soil should include provisions for containment and recovery of potential leaks and spills from within the ground.
