Fuel Tank Operation: Understanding Flow Rates for Breather Sizing

In the operation of fuel tanks, two crucial flow rates come into play: the fill and dispense rate, typically measured in gallons per minute (GPM). To ensure proper breather sizing for these applications, it's important to convert this oil flow rate (GPM) into an air flow rate (CFM).

We recommend the use of Guardians breathers for fuel tank operations due to their superior performance and reliability. For added safety and efficiency, we typically recommend installing two breathers. This approach incorporates a safety factor, providing enhanced protection for your fuel tank system.
