The Preferred Model 2 wall-mounted spill container introduced a new standard in safety, spill prevention, and convenience to the fuel oil industry. Now the same electronics are availalbe in a sidewalk spill container that flush-mounts in any horizontal surface.

The Model 3 Sidewalk Spill Container is constructed of 14 gauge welded steel construction. The cover is made of diamond plate heavy gauge steel and is H-20 truck rated and secured by stainless steel tamper-proof hold down bolts to protect fill lines from damage, vandalism, or theft. A 1/8" gasket seals the enclosure against water, snow, and other contaminants. 2", 3", and 4" fill pipe connections are standard. Other sizes can be special ordered. Any oil spilled is contained within the fill box. Models are available for five and fifteen gallon containment vessels. A hand pump is available to transfer any spilled fuel to the fill pipe.  The Model 3 Sidewalk Spill Container flush-mounts into any horizontal sidewalk or pavement and is held in place with four concrete anchor bolts.

The Model 3 Sidewalk Spill Container comes with the Overfill Alarm Station features standard.  The spill container interfaces with the Preferred TG-EL Series Tank Gauge to include a high level alarm that alerts the filling operator that the tank is filled to its predetermined capacity.  When an overfill alarm occurs, the alarm bell (or horn) sounds and the alarm light flashes.  The horn is automatically silenced in 90 seconds or instantly silenced when the operator selects the “Alarm Silence” pushbutton.  The alarm automatically resets when liquid level goes below the overfill alarm setpoint.
