Replace Day Tank
Does anyone have a general idea of how many hours it would take a 3 man crew to replace a 50 gal. day tank?

Re: Replace Day Tank
Unless it is full, a 50gal anything does not sound too hard to install. Especially for three men.
I also ask. What the hell is a "day tank"???

Re: Replace Day Tank
They are an off the shelf standardized fuel tank for diesel generators, in this case it is in a critical facility. Right now there is a 25 gal tank that is to small for the application.

Re: Replace Day TankQuote:
Your most accurate response would probably come from the manufacturer. |

Re: Replace Day Tank
I guess because the day tank gets filled with diesel fuel to start an emergency electrical system it is listed here in the electrical forum.
I'm the electrican, not the diesel fuel guy, (unless you'd like to buy some diesel fuel directly from me with a markup...). would that be legal?
