Orphan date February 2009 File Petrol Interceptor Diagram.jpg thumb Petrol Interceptor Diagram A Diagram showing how a petrol interceptor works A petrol interceptor is a trap used to filter out hydrocarbon pollutant s from rainwater Surface runoff runoff . It is typically used in road construction and on Petrol Station forecourts to prevent fuel contamination of stream s carrying away the runoff. Petrol interceptors work on the premise that some hydrocarbons such as petroleum and Diesel fuel diesel float on the top of water. The contaminated water enters the interceptor typically after flowing off roads or forecourts and entering a trench drain channel drain before being deposited into the first tank inside the interceptor. The first tank builds up a layer of the hydrocarbon as well as other scum. Typically petrol interceptors have 3 separate tanks each connected with a dip pipe, as more liquid enters the interceptor the water enters into the second tank leaving the majority of the hydrocarbon behind as it cannot enter the dip pipe, who s opening into the second tank is below the surface. However some of the contaminants may by chance enter the second tank. This second tank will not build up as much of the hydrocarbon on its surface. As before, the water is pushed into the third tank and more water enters the second. The third tank should be practically clear of any hydrocarbon floating on its surface. As a precaution, the outlet pipe is also a dip pipe. When the water leaves the third tank via the outlet pipe it should be contaminant free. ref cite book last Nash first W.

Refimprove date May 2009 Lead Replacement Petrol LRP is a fuel developed to provide an alternative to gasoline Tetraethyl lead leaded petrol . Leaded four star petrol was withdrawn from sale in 2000, eight years after the last cars using it were made, ref http www.theaa.com motoring advice fuel LRP.html ref and LRP was introduced containing other metal salts such as potassium or manganese , enabling the large numbers of cars still using the fuel to continue running. Leaded gasolin was containing a substance known as tetraethyllead tetraethyl lead or TEL, a compound of lead in liquid form originally added to petrol to increase its octane rating . A side effect of adding TEL is that a layer of lead compounds forms on the valve faces of the engine, retarding wear. Lead is very toxic and lead compounds in exhaust gases escape into the atmosphere causing pollution. Impacts on human health are widely documented. This led to the introduction of lead free petrol. With normal lead free petrol an adjustment to the engine s ignition timing solved pre detonation problems pinking or pinging caused by the lower octane rating, but this did nothing to prevent accelerated valve wear. The use of lead in petrol had allowed the machining of valve seats directly in the cast iron or aluminium cylinder heads or block of side valve engines . Over time these seats would heat up, erode and even micro weld the valve to the seat causing rapid damage. Lead Replacement Petrol was introduced to address the issue of valve wear. However, by August 2002, it was reported in the British national media that most petrol stations would soon be withdrawing Lead Replacement Petrol from sale, despite there still being some 1.5 million cars using it. The supply of the fuel has since dwindled away to practically none.
