Rail - Buckeye Automatic Fueling System 

Our Buckeye Automatic Fueling System uses only two basic components: The Adapter and The Nozzle.

The Adapter Assembly:

• The Emco Wheaton Adapter is mounted to the diesel unit at each fueling connection on the locomotive chassis.
• Minimal modification is required for installation. Simply remove existing fuel fittings and replace with the Emco Wheaton Adapter.
• All adapters are equipped with dust caps.
• A manual adapter is available when refueling cannot be done with the nozzle.

The Automatic Nozzle:

• One basic nozzle handles all fueling requirements and provides a fuel flow range from 50 to 300 GPM.
• The nozzle is hydraulically balanced to permit easy opening and shock-free closing.
• This feature makes it possible to save fueling time by starting the pump before attaching the nozzle.
• Increased pumping rates are also possible since higher pump relief valve settings may be used with safety.
• The Emco Wheaton Nozzle assures automatic shutoff when the fuel tank reaches capacity.
• When fuel level reaches the level shutoff tube, fuel transfer is shut off automatically. The tank is full.
• Overfill and underfill conditions are completely avoided. Fuel tank levels are consistent from fill to fill.
• Spill hazard is virtually eliminated.
• Since automatic shutoff is housed in the Emco Wheaton Nozzle and not in the locomotive, bench repairs can be made without involving locomotive downtime.
• This feature keeps the locomotives in service as maintenance takes place.
• The tripping mechanism of the Emco Wheaton Nozzle seals it against dirt, dust and other foreign matter.
• Additional reliability and long service life come from a Teflon piston seal and Teflon bearings.
• Safety features include a test plug for checking pressure and flow rate.
• Fueling operations are eased by a raised ramp on the outlet coupler ring that provides easy nozzle attachment and release from the locomotive.
