Bottom Loading of
Fuels – API 1004
API – American Petroleum Institute
• Studies in the 1960’s researched bottom loading to developed it’s standardisation.
• API covers bottom loading, vapour recovery and their best practices.
• 1967 the 1004 first edition was released.
• Purpose – ‘to provide guidance to users & manufacturers in the design and operation of bottom-loading and vapour recovery systems with compatible features’API Recommendation Practice 1004, Seventh Edition Nov 1988

Bottom Loading - Fuels• Loading arms connect to
bottom of tanks by a coupler.
• User operates from the ground, automated in terminals.
• Closed loop systems with vapour recovery for safety and recycling.
• Terminals for bigger users (terminals), skids for smaller user (depots).
• Standard in mainland Europe, USA and more countries Worldwide.
