There are two 1\/4HP geared pumps, used one at a time, that fill the day tank from the main supply. These pumps are also used for the fuel polishing system.<\/p>\n<p>The logic and basic control components are the same as we have used for the past 15 years, and the system works as follows:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are a series of floats containing magnets which trigger reed switches inside a pipe within the day tank. The pipe reduces early triggering from wave action.<\/li>\n<li>One of the lower and one of the higher reed switches controls a latching relay. At the selected low point the relay latches closed (on) triggering a solenoid which feeds power to the selected pump. When the higher reed switch is triggered, it opens the latching relay which turns off the pump.<\/li>\n<li>There are additional reed switches for low alarm, 90% (high off), and high alarm, plus two extra switch positions. The on\/off levels of the day tank can be easily changed to suit trim requirements (heavier or lighter dinghy for example). Manual control is also used during fuel polishing.<\/li>\n<li>Should the automatic system fail for some reason there are manual controls for each pump.<\/li>\n<li>The pumps can triggered on using the latching relay with a momentary switch at the inside helm (to keep day tank filled).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FPB 64s have a large day tank in the engine room.
