The Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI) has released a new publication developed by the PEI Marina Fueling System Installation Committee entitled Recommended Practices for the Installation of Marina Fueling Systems, PEI/RP1000. 

The purpose of the new document is to provide a basic reference that conveys concrete, authoritative guidance on how to deal with the challenges of constructing safe, environmentally protective marina-fueling facilities that will allow reliable and economical service for many years.

These recommended practices apply to facilities that:

• serve recreational, commercial, government facilities by storing and dispensing motor fuel into vessels,

• have fixed, onshore storage tanks using submersible or suction pumps to move the fuel,

• are located in fresh water or salt water, lake or river environments, stable or fluctuating water-level conditions, and along stable or fluctuating shorelines,

• have underground or aboveground storage tanks,

• have a dispensing device that is stationary or mobile (e.g., a hydrant-type system with a mobile fueling cart). 

These recommended practices do NOT apply to the following:

• facilities where the storage tanks are in, on, or over water (e.g., floating tanks, tanks located over water on piers or floating docks),facilities where the tank is mobile (e.g., on a truck).

• facilities where the tank is mobile (e.g., on a truck).
