What Was The First Alternative Fuel Used In Motorsport?
There are many fields where pressure relief valves and protecting tanks in high-pressure environments matter a great deal, but one of the most fascinating and unexpected ones is the field of motorsport. In the 2020s, sustainable fuels became a massive talking point, with the vast majority of the highest-level racing series moving towards some kind […]
The Motor Racing Championships That Switched To Biofuel
With several technological developments in alternative fuel, one of the most important in the short and intermediate-term is the development of high-quality, effective biofuels. These fuels, both in production and in storage, require effective, secure storage tanks fitted with vacuum relief valves to avoid excess volatile pressure. Because of their importance in the transition away […]

How Pressure Relief Valves Made The Worlds Fastest Airliner
Most of the time, vacuum relief valves are fitted to tanks and machinery that are safely placed on solid ground. Even tanker trucks with valves are firmly and safely secured to the ground as they travel from a secure location to their destination. Aircraft are far more complex because the conditions that their payloads are […]
Could Biofuel Keep Steam Trains On Track?
In an age when rail electrification is replacing diesel just as electric vehicles are a growing presence on our roads, the existence of trains that belch out fossil fuel emissions seems an environmentally-ruinous anomaly. While mainline rail might be modernising, a query may be made of one kind of rail travel that by definition defies […]
Valves May Have Stopped A Race Where Everyone Ran Out Of Fuel
When pressure relief valves and gauges are discussed in relation to automobiles and motorsport, typically it is in the context of high pressure and the need to vent potentially hazardous fluids and gases. However, there is a case where such monitoring would be beneficial not for dealing with a fuel tank that is too full […]
Can Pressurised Air Power Cars?
One of the biggest use cases for pressurised tanks and the relief valve systems that are in place to avoid dangerous levels of pressure is fuels, often taking the form of fossil fuels such as petrol, diesel or natural gas. However, as people are increasingly keen to find alternative ways to fill up the fuel […]
Anaerobic Digestion Could Have Big Impact On Climate Change
Anaerobic digestion (AD) could play a significant part in the combat against climate change, helping the UK to achieve its net-zero carbon emissions goal. According to the UK Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA), there needs to be greater adoption of AD solutions to decarbonise industries and reduce the amount of carbon used. The transport, […]
The Most Unusual Refuelling Stop During A Motorsport Race
The logistical system for storing and transporting fuel is very complex and filled with redundancies and safety measures such as relief valves to ensure that it can safely reach and be supplied to vehicles that need it. This system can be even more complex in the world of motorsport, in no small part because it […]
How Aircraft Avoid Fuel Pressure Issues In The Atmosphere
When managing volatile and flammable gases and liquids under intense pressure, properly calibrated relief valves are a vitally important part of these systems, designed to reduce the risk of damage to the tank and the potential dangers such materials under pressure would pose. However, one unusual situation requires somewhat unusual and complex solutions. Most fuel […]
