PUMPING SYSTEMS
The following kits are primarily designed to be used with a small
capacity pump like Blackmer’s LGF1C (10 GPM) or LGF1PC (15
GPM)
For a pumping system to perform properly, you must have high
quality equipment installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations and the following good installation practices:
1. The tank should be installed with as much vertical distance from
the bottom tank outlet to the pump inlet as practical. The
minimum recommended distance from the bottom of the tank
to the ground is 16” for good pump performance.
2. Only bottom tank outlets should be used to supply gas to liquid
pumps, and the size of these outlets should be no less than the
inlet of the pump. There should be no restrictive fittings on the
inlet side of the pump.
3. The pump should be located as close to the tank outlet as
practical. A LP gas pump can push gas for reasonable
distances, but cannot suck gas. Liquid gas must be fed to the
pump by gravity.
4. All positive displacement pumps require a bypass line to return
gas back to the tank. The Blackmer LGF1E and LGF1PE pumps
have built in bypass valves. A line must be run between the
pump and the tank to protect the pump against excessive
differential pressure.

5. Proper electrical wiring connections and correct wire size are
important for good pump performance. Be sure the motor
terminals are connected correctly for the voltage and rotation
being used. Listed below are general recommendations for
the minimal wire size for more common wiring runs on 1 HP
and 1 1/2 HP single phase motors. Please comply with the
motor manufacturer’s requirements concerning this matter.
