摘要 |
The invention relates to a fuel storage facility and to a method for filling and/or emptying the tanks of said facility. The storage facility (I) includes at least one light fuel tank (C1,C2,C3) and at least one heavy fuel tank (C4), each of said tanks having a vent pipe (12, 22, 32, 42). All of the vent pipes open into the same collector (14) which is designed to connect said pipes to one another and to be connected to a tank (10) of a delivery vehicle. In addition, regardless of whether they are associated with a light fuel tank or a heavy fuel tank, the vent pipes are provided with means (13, 23, 33, 43) for condensing the vent gases flowing therethrough, the condensates originating from said condensation means being discharged into the at least one light fuel tank. As a result, it is possible to minimise the emission of light fuel vapours from the facility into the atmosphere or into the tank of the delivery vehicle. ® KIPO & WIPO 2009
