SIBUSO NVCL 5000L, diesel storage and dispensing tank

The SIBUSO NVCL 5000 is a double-walled polyethylene tank with a dispensing system, designed for the storage and internal distribution of diesel fuel. SIBUSO tanks are manufactured as bunded systems, with an inner tank and an external containment wall, and are designed in accordance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The NVCL 5000 has a nominal capacity of 5000 litres and is intended for professional diesel fuel storage and dispensing applications.

The tank is manufactured from polyethylene and is designed as a stationary double-walled unit. According to the CC-Market product specification, the tank has a net weight of approximately 320 kg, a width of 2,445 mm and a height of 2,404 mm.

The SIBUSO NVCL 5000 is equipped with a ROTAxx 80 vane pump operating from a 230 V power supply and providing a maximum delivery rate of up to 80 litres per minute. The manufacturer's current specification states a power rating of 380 W / 2.6 A for the NVCL range.

The dispensing system includes a digital FMT rotor flow meter with a stated measurement accuracy of ±0.5% and a measuring range of 2–100 L/min. The system is also equipped with an automatic dispensing nozzle and a dedicated nozzle holder.

According to the CC-Market specification, the dispensing hose supplied with this configuration is 6 metres long. The product specification also includes an inlet line and inlet connection for filling the tank.

The NVCL 5000 is equipped with a lockable distribution cabinet that houses and protects the fuel dispensing components. The manufacturer's specification includes a filling-line valve inside the distribution cabinet, a maximum-level sensor, an electronic GWG overfill protection system, a 600 mm inspection hatch in the inner tank and an additional 140 mm inspection opening.

The tank is equipped with air vents and a grounding connection. The fuel suction line includes a non-return valve and a mesh filter. The dispensing system also incorporates an emergency power switch.

Fuel filtration is provided by a 30 µm can-type fuel filter, while the double-walled construction is monitored by an LD1 leakage alarm. According to SIBUSO, the leakage alarm provides visual and acoustic indication if liquid is detected between the tank walls and is powered by an AA battery. The leakage detection system complies with the requirements of PN-EN 13160-1 applicable to leak detection systems.

The tank is also equipped with fuel level monitoring. The manufacturer's standard NVCL specification includes a clock-type gauge, while the current product range also allows the use of the LIPREMOS® SONIC PRO GPRS/GNSS level sensor as optional equipment. The CC-Market configuration lists a level sensor as included equipment.

The NVCL series is designed not only for fuel storage but also for fuel distribution. SIBUSO states that its double-walled polyethylene tanks with dispensing systems are intended for companies and users operating diesel-powered vehicles and machinery, including motor vehicles, construction machinery, forklifts, tractors and agricultural machinery.

The manufacturer's current specification states a 10-year warranty for tank tightness and a 2-year warranty for accessories. The specific CC-Market product page currently states a product warranty of 120 months and an equipment warranty of 12 months, therefore the warranty applicable to the unit supplied by CC-Market should follow the terms stated for that specific sale.
