Manufacturer and evaluator claim that sensors will respond to any liquid. Evaluations determined these sensors' responses to the liquids shown above. *Biodiesel blends B6-B20 meeting ASTM D7467 and biodiesel B100 meeting ASTM D6751 would also produce an alarm if the sensor threshold is exceeded. Responses to these fuels were not determined, but would be expected to be very similar to the diesel responses.

Comments:

Sensors can be removed, cleaned and reinstalled if an alarm is triggered or if the sensor is periodically tested. The FMP-DDS and FMP-DTS sensors are identical in operation and communication to Franklin Fueling System’s TSP-DDS and TSP-DTS sensors. The FMP-DDS and FMP-DTS sensors can connect to any INCON console with no software or setup changes. FMP-DDS and FMP-DTS sensors can be distinguished from TSP-DDS and TSP-DTS sensors by the part number on the label that begins with “FMP” instead of “TSP.” The TSP-DDS, TSP-DTS, FMP-DDS, and FMP-DTS sensors appear as the same device from the automatic tank gauge.
The DDS and DTS sensors contain an identical product sensitive strip that triggers a product alarm when exposed to any type of fuel. The top and bottom floats of both types of sensors detect the presence of liquid and an alarm will be generated if the liquid rises above the threshold of either float. When the product sensitive strip was tested in each of the three mixtures of water/E85, the DDS and DTS sensors went into alarm when subjected to the top and lower layers of water/E85. For the upper layer containing hydrocarbon, the DDS sensor indicated a product alarm as designed for each of the 20%, 30% and 70% of the water/E85 mixture. For the lower layer of each of the 20%, 30% and 70% of the water/E85 mixtures, the 20% mixture indicated a product alarm after a short period of time, while the 30% and 70% mixtures indicated a water alarm when the threshold of the bottom float was exceeded but did not detect the presence of product after a period of 24 hours.
