Obviously, it's a different kind of valve in the first setup to prevent backflow into other lines, but that's probably about the extent of it. With the second setup, you probably need to run a new line and pump for each station for each gas type, compared to just tying the tanks into the one valve and pump per station. I'm not a plumber or anything, though, so take it with a grain of salt. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago I feel like we should specific for Europeans or whomever that there is definitely a different hose for Diesel permalink fedilink source parent
