Power Outage!

Living in a Third World Country, power outages are sometimes expected. Thus many homes and buildings are equipped with diesel generators for emergency power. Although the diesel requirement for small diesel generators is low, the fuel requirement for generators supplying emergency power to larger buildings can be quite excessive. Ever wondered how the diesel fuel is delivered to these large generators? Well, it generally depends on the fuel consumption rate and storage facilities on-site. If the quantity is very large, a bulk tanker can be used. Otherwise, a transfer tank is used. The transfer tank can also serve as temporary storage on-site.
