SUBJECT:
Aurora Fire Department Stations 3 & 8 Fuel Systems
PURPOSE:
To replace the aged fuel system at Aurora Fire Stations 3 and 8 and incorporate the sites into the City's fuel management network.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Aurora Fleet currently has five fuel sites: Central Garage, Phillip's Park, and Aurora Fire Department Stations 1, 3, and 8. Three of the sites, Central Garage, Phillip's Park, and Station 1, are controlled and monitored through a Fuelmaster fuel management system which allows the Fleet Maintenance Division to track fuel transactions. The transaction data is then used to monitor maintenance intervals, track usage, and account for fuel inventory.
Stations 3 and 8 are both equipped with an above-ground storage tank (AST) and dispenser (images attached) that provide diesel fuel primarily for fire department vehicles. The diesel-only fuel systems are controlled locally and operate independent of the City's fleet fuel management network. Fire Department staff manually report fuel consumption and vehicle meter readings to the Fleet Maintenance Division.
DISCUSSION:
The installation of a Fuelmaster terminal along with the replacement of the aged diesel storage tank and dispenser with dual product (diesel/unleaded) equipment at both Stations 3 and 8 would add unleaded fuel dispensing capability, incorporate both sites into the City's fuel management network, and alleviate manual reporting. Additionally, the entire City fleet would be able to utilize the two sites which would contribute to overall efficiency by keeping work units in closer proximity to their assigned areas.
Stenstrom Petroleum Services of Lombard, IL installed and initialized the City's existing multi-site Fuelmaster fuel management system, has provided quality service and support, and is familiar with the City's fuel network infrastructure. T...
