BANLAW FILL SAFETM
The Banlaw FillSafe™ overfill protection system provides zero overfill, zero tank pressure and zero spillage during refuelling in any environment.
Features include:
- Reduced loss of fuel from spillage or tank rupture;
- Reduced need for maintenance because the zero tank pressure environment extends the working life of the machine’s tanks;
- Improved environmental outcomes;
- Reduced chance of OH&S related risks through zero spillage.
The Banlaw FillSafe™ system is available as either a fully electronic or hydraulic system depending on the specific site requirements.
Linked sensors fitted in the refuelling receiver and the fuel tank ensure the tank is completely full, and then cut of the fuel flow without tank pressurisation. The leak free connection between nozzle and tank ensures zero spillage, zero tank pressure and simultaneously prevents any contaminants entering the fuel tank – delivering improved performance outcomes and reduced downtime for each machine. Cleaner fuel also means improved filter and injector life, delivering further savings in machine related expenses.
OVERFILL PROTECTION/ZERO PRESSURE SYSTEMS
A feature of Banlaw’s fluid transfer systems, Banlaw FillSafe™, is their ability to eliminate overfilling and the resultant problems associated with that occurrence.
By enabling the fluid transfer to occur in a zero pressure environment, refuelling tanks suffer less stress and fatigue induced from continual tank pressurisation during refuelling.
Purpose designed sensors in the refuelling receiver and refuelling tank communicate during the transfer process and automatically cut off supply when the tank is full. This eliminates the problems associated with conventional pressure related cut-off systems.
The benefits include:
- No environmental contamination by spilt hydrocarbons;
- Zero wastage of hydrocarbons;
- Reduced pressure, stress and fatigue on the fuel tank seams, leading to reduced machine down time for non-scheduled maintenance.
Either electronically or hydraulically activated cut off sensors are available, depending on the specific requirements of particular operations.
Banlaw also manufacture a range of purpose designed tank vents. These are recommended to ensure the maximum efficiency of the refuelling system.
BANLAW FILLSAFE™ ELECTRONIC
The original version of the cut off system that ensures automatic control at all times. At each fluid transfer tanks are filled to capacity, without overfilling, spillage or waste.

BANLAW FILLSAFE™ HYDRAULIC
Where electronic components could cause a work place hazard, or where electronics are not practical, hydraulic sensors provide an alternate method of activating the cut off.
