Flow of Liquid Through Pumping Unit and Air Eliminator Pumping Unit Operation and Maintenance

3 – Pumping Unit Operation and Maintenance

Flow of Liquid Through Pumping Unit and Air Eliminator


Following is a high level overview of how GPU M04920 functions:

1 The fuel is drawn from the storage tank through the strainer screen or filter.

2 The rotary vane pumping unit pressurizes the fluid.

3 Fuel enters the centrifugal air separator assembly. Any air that is present is forced out of the air
tube along with a small amount of liquid into the atmospheric chamber.

4 When the liquid level in the chamber lifts the float and valve assembly, the liquid collected in
the atmospheric chamber is returned to the pump intake. Air is then vented to the atmosphere
through the end tube.

5 Air-free fuel leaving the air separator opens the control valve and is pumped into the meter.
The control valve includes a built-in relief valve which relieves excess pressure caused by hot
weather expansion.

6 Fuel passes through the meter where it is accurately measured, then through the hose and
nozzle to the vehicle or container being fueled.

7 Whenever the nozzle is not fully opened, some liquid is relieved into the pump through the
bypass valve.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before gasoline can be accurately measured by the meter, air and vapors must be eliminated.

The pumping unit eliminates air and vapor by using the air separator and float assembly. The
float assembly employed is as shown in Figure 3-2.

Adjustable Bypass Valve Pumping Unit Operation and Maintenance

Adjustable Bypass Valve


The pumping unit uses an adjustable bypass valve assembly to limit the pumping unit pressure
when the motor is running and no fuel is being dispensed. The adjustable bypass assembly
includes the following:
• Valve spring
• Guide
• Cover
• Adjustment screw
• Brass cap

Note: The same bypass assembly is used on all pumping units (see Figure 3-3).

Figure 3-3: Bypass Valve

Air Separator Float Device


In European International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) versions of the pumping
unit, a float assembly is provided on the pumping unit vent opening. This assembly is used to
prevent liquid from escaping through the vent pipe (see Figure 3-4).

Figure 3-4: Air Separator Float Device

MDE-4447B Global Pumping Unit Operation and Service Manual · June 2016 Page 3-3
Pumping Unit Operation and Maintenance Control Valve

Control Valve
The pumping unit uses a control valve that helps to eliminate air by producing a back pressure
and is also used as a check valve for any fuel above it.

The control valve also contains a pressure relief valve. This valve relieves excess hose
pressure, which may result from the expansion of fuel in the hose during hot weather, to the air
eliminator chamber. This action prevents hoses from bursting and helps prevent pumping unit
leaks.

Replacing Lip Seal Pumping Unit Operation and Maintenance

Replacing Lip Seal


To replace the lip seal, proceed as follows:

1 Remove the belt, pulley, and shaft key.

2 Remove the three screws that hold the seal retainer (see Figure 3-6). Carefully pry the old seal
from the recess in the cover plate.
Note: Do not scratch the shaft.

3 Wipe the shaft clean.

4 With a small plastic plug tool (furnished with new seal), slip the new seal over the shaft and
remove the tool.

5 Reinstall the seal retainer screws, key, pulley, and belt.

Pumping Unit Operation and Maintenance Pumping Units with Throwout Rings

Pumping Units with Throwout Rings


All pumping units have rotors with throwout rings and carbon blades.

Note: Studies conclude that pumping units with throwout rings produce greater vacuum and
are more resistant to vapor lock.

To replace blades in rotors with throwout rings, proceed as follows:

1 Install throwout rings in the recesses of the rotor.

2 Install the rotor in the stator assembly.

3 Rotate the rotor until a blade slot is at the 12:00 o’clock position. Install a blade.

4 Rotate the rotor two slots from the installed blade. Ensure that the second slot is at the
12:00 o’clock position. Install a blade.

5 Repeat step 4 for the third blade.

6 Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the three remaining blades (see Figure 3-7).

Replacing Inlet Check Valve in GPU Replacing Inlet Check Valve in GPU

5 – Replacing Inlet Check Valve in GPU

GPU is supplied with a check valve located opposite the pulley side, behind the strainer
assembly. Check valves are required for twin hose, single product pumps with a manifold
inlet. All other units from the factory do not include this check valve. Single hose, single
product pumping units do not require this check valve located behind the strainer assembly.
The purpose of the check valve located behind the strainer housing is to prevent siphoning of
fuel from the unused pump when one side of the twin-hose pump is fueling and the other side
is idle.

Following section provides instructions for replacing the inlet check valve in Gilbarco GPU
with the Inlet Check Valve Kit (M04920K109).

Required Tools and Materials


• 13 mm Socket Wrench or equivalent is required to install the Inlet Check Valve Kit
• Multi-purpose Grease Small Brush

General Vacuum and Pressure Information Troubleshooting

6 – Troubleshooting

General Vacuum and Pressure Information


Following components are normally associated with pump pressure:
• Control Valve
• Meter
• Computer or Pulser Drive Linkage
• Hose
• Nozzle

Following components are normally associated with pump vacuum:


• Blades
• Rotor/Stator
• Filter
• Bypass Valve and Seat
• Float (opened)
• Installation piping
• Tank Vent Pipe
• Angle Check Valve or Foot Valve
• Tank burial depth

Vacuum readings can vary with each installation. To calculate pump vacuum, proceed as
follows:

1 An inch of mercury is required to lift gasoline 1-1/2 feet (0.46 m). Divide the total lift by
1-1/2 feet (0.46 m) to obtain vacuum.

2 Allow an inch of mercury for each angle check, foot valve, or vertical check valve.

3 Allow an inch of mercury for each 60 feet (18.3 m) of piping.

4 Add the readings obtained in steps 1, 2 and 3 to determine the approximate vacuum reading at
fast flow.
Note: Excessive vacuum indicates a restriction. Low vacuum indicates a leak.

MDE-4447B Global Pumping Unit Operation and Service Manual · June 2016 Page 6-1
Troubleshooting Vacuum Gauge Readings (Inches of Mercury)

Vacuum Gauge Readings (Inches of Mercury)


Following table shows normal vacuum gauge readings for a variety of lift vs. run situations.

Notes: 1) Following table shows normal vacuum gauge readings for general lift vs. run
situations. This is intended as a guideline only. Readings will vary depending on
other factors, such as pipeline size, number of bends, elevation, fuel composition and
so on.

2) Readings are listed in inches of mercury (in-hg). Some gauges may read in
centimeters of mercury (cm-hg), PSI, or bar, refer to “Conversion Factors”.
Vertical Lift (Feet) 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Horizontal Run - 0’ 3.0 3.6 4.3 4.9 5.5 6.1 6.8 7.4
Horizontal Run - 60’ 3.9 4.5 5.2 5.8 6.4 7.0 7.7 8.3

Conversion Factors
• 1 in-hg = 2.54 cm-hg
• 1 in-hg = -0.491 PSI
• 1 in-hg = -0.034 bar
• 1 ft = 0.3048 m

Use Gauge Readings to Troubleshoot Self-contained


Dispensers
There are a variety of conditions that can contribute to no delivery or slow delivery. A
pressure/vacuum gauge is an important tool in determining whether the problem is on the
vacuum side or pressure side of the pump.

The vacuum gauge reading can help you determine if there are restrictions of flow in the
suction piping system. It will also help you determine the ability of the pumping unit to pump.

Note: Vacuum gauge readings in the following sections are shown in inches of mercury.

Testing Pump Vacuum


To test the vacuum of the pump, proceed as follows:

1 Remove the pipe plug in the center of the strainer or filter cover. The cover is marked for easy
identification.

2 Install the vacuum gauge.

3 Start the pump and open the nozzle to full flow for a true reading.

Page 6-2 MDE-4447B Global Pumping Unit Operation and Service Manual · June 2016
Use Gauge Readings to Troubleshoot Self-contained Dispensers Troubleshooting

4 With the nozzle open, a normal vacuum reading is 6-8 inches of mercury for normal suction
(see Figure 6-1).

Figure 6-1: Vacuum Reading - Nozzle Open

5 With the nozzle closed, a normal vacuum reading is 0 (see Figure 6-2).

Figure 6-2: Vacuum Reading - Nozzle Closed

Testing Pump Pressure

To test the pressure of the pump, proceed as follows:

1 Remove the pipe plug in the center of the control valve cover. Covers are marked for easy
identification.

2 Install the pressure gauge.

3 Start the pump and open the nozzle to full flow for a true reading.

4 With the nozzle open, a normal pressure reading is 16-18 PSI pressure.

MDE-4447B Global Pumping Unit Operation and Service Manual · June 2016 Page 6-3
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Using Gauge Readings

5 With the nozzle closed, a normal pressure reading is 25-28 PSI pressure (see Figure 6-3).

Figure 6-3: Pressure Reading - Nozzle Closed

Troubleshooting Using Gauge Readings


Following examples help you determine the possible cause of a problem by observing the
gauge readings on the inlet (vacuum) and outlet (pressure) side of the pumping unit. Actual
readings may vary slightly, depending on installation and environmental conditions.

7 – Vapor Lock Causes

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Vapor lock is a problem that results from ambient temperatures, vapor pressure of the product
and installation. It is not a characteristic of a pump.

Reasons for Vapor Lock

Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric pressure of 14.7 PSI (sea level) presses on the liquid in the tank (see Figure 7-1).

Reasons for Vapor Lock Vapor Lock Causes

Vapor Pressure
Vapor pressure (the amount of pressure required to keep the product in a liquid form at 60° F
(15° C) of today’s product is approximately 10 PSI (see Figure 7-2).

Figure 7-2: Vapor Pressure

Working Pressure
The difference between atmospheric pressure and vapor pressure is known as the working
pressure. The working pressure is all that the pump can create without the product turning to
vapor (see Figure 7-3).

Measuring Suction
To measure a pump’s suction, the working pressure must be converted to inches of vacuum. To
do this, multiply the working pressure by 2. The result is the number of inches of vacuum that
a pump can create before the product changes to a vapor (see Figure 7-4).

Installation is the Key


The condition of installation dictates how much suction a pump must create to pump the
product.

It takes 1 inch (2.54 cm) of vacuum to lift gas 1.5 feet vertically.

To determine the inches of vacuum required to lift the gas in a system, proceed as follows:

1 Measure the distance from the top of the product in the tank to the center of the pumping unit
(see Figure 7-6). Divide the distance by 1.5 to obtain the inches of vacuum required by the
pump to lift the product.

For example, 9 feet (2.74 m) of lift requires 6 inches (15.24 cm) of vacuum by the pump
(see Figure 7-6).

Vapor Lock Causes Reasons for Vapor Lock

It takes 1 inch (2.54 cm) of vacuum by the pump to overcome the restriction of an angle check
valve or foot valve (not part of the pump, but a necessary part of the installation),
(see Figure 7-7).

It takes 1 inch of vacuum by the pump to overcome the restriction of 60 feet (18.3 m) of
horizontal piping from the tank to the pump (see Figure 7-8).

60’ (18.3 m) of Horizontal Piping = 1” (2.54 cm)

60º F (15º C)

2 To obtain the inches of vacuum required to deliver the product, simply add A, B, and C.
A. 9’ of lift = 6” (15.24 cm) of suction
B. Angle check or foot valve = 1” (2.54 cm) of suction
C. 60’ horizontal run = 1” (2.54 cm) of suction
TOTAL = 8” (20.3 cm) of suction

With 9.4 inches (23.88 cm) of suction to work with and only 8 inches (20.3 cm) of vacuum
required, conditions are normal and the pump delivers the product without vapor locking.
Note: This condition exists when the product is at 60° F (15° C).

Vapor Lock Conditions Vapor Lock Causes

Vapor Lock Conditions


Using the same example as above, 8 inches (20.3 cm) of vacuum is still required to deliver the
product.

With higher ambient temperatures, the vapor pressure of the product changes. As mentioned
above, the vapor pressure of today’s product is 10 PSI at 60° F (15° C). At temperatures of
90° F (32° C) or higher, it can go as high as 12 PSI.

may be as high as 12 PSI

Using the same formulae in “Working Pressure”, the working pressure equals atmospheric
pressure less the vapor pressure (see Figure 7-10).

Multiplying the 2.7 working pressure by 2 equals 5.4 inches (13.7 cm) of vacuum that the
pump can create before the product turns to vapor (see Figure 7-11).

Figure 7-11: PSI and Vacuum Equivalents - Vapor Lock Conditions

2.7 PSI = 5.4 inches of Vacuum

PSI Vacuum

It still takes 8 inches (20.3 cm) of vacuum to deliver the product, but with higher temperatures,
there is only 5.4 inches (13.7 cm) of vacuum to lift the product. The result is vapor lock.

Figure 7-12: Vapor Lock Conditions

The pump plays a very small part in vapor lock situations. Following are the main reasons for
vapor lock:
• Installation
• Amount of product in the storage tank
• Vapor pressure of the product

Note: Vapor lock does not occur in diesel pumps because the vapor pressure of diesel is
approximately 8 PSI.

The only solution for vapor lock in hot climates is to keep the installation and pump cool.
