How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Fuel spills are fire and environmental hazards. Stop all pumps and contain any spill immediately.

  • Inspect day tank and bund: Check for visible fuel overflow or leaks around the Aksa day tank and base frame bund.
  • Check high‑level switch: Locate the high‑level float or probe. Inspect for sticking, damage, or fuel contamination. Clean or replace as needed.
  • Verify transfer pump control: Ensure the fuel transfer pump stops when the day tank is full. Check control relays and wiring.
  • Reset alarm: After correcting the cause and cleaning any spill, reset the controller alarm and test the fuel transfer sequence.
