How long does it take to repair a turbine sump? If you’re CGRS’s California Compliance team, it normally takes three days.

Yes, three days.

A turbine sump at the Lincoln Chevron Express Mart in Lincoln, California, failed SB989 testing performed by another contractor in late February. That contractor had attempted several times to fix the penetration fittings with Bostik-like glue, but was ultimately unsuccessful.

During a CUPA (Certified Unified Program Agencies) inspection of his fueling system, the owner said he was having trouble finding someone who could make the needed repairs; the inspector suggested he call the experts at CGRS.

Two of CGRS’s team members removed the glue sealant and installed Bravo F Series Penetration Fittings in the turbine sump. The F-Series line of all-fiberglass entry fittings have a bonded fitting without common points of failure such as nuts, bolts, gaskets, clamps, boots, mechanical seals and sealants. They not only significantly reduce the maintenance cost of a fuel system, but protect the environment from contamination and eliminate the chance of water intrusion – thus meeting CGRS’s high standards for solutions.
