The article presents the results of calculations for technological parameters and losses at a filling station (gas station) for three typical processes: losses of gasoline due to tank "breathing" (large breathing), the time of gasoline draining from a tank truck into a receiving tank, and the volume of leakage through a corrosion-induced hole in the tank wall. Based on engineering methods, calculations were performed for specific initial data, including equipment geometric characteristics, physicochemical properties of gasoline, and operating conditions. The study determines key indicators: the amount of gasoline loss from one "large breathing" of an RVS-5000 tank, the duration of unloading from an AC-10-260 tank truck, and the volume of leakage through a 1.2 mm diameter hole over a given period. Calculation dependencies are provided for determining the molar mass and density of gasoline vapors, hydraulic resistance and flow coefficients, Reynolds number, and other parameters. The obtained quantitative estimates of losses and time parameters can be used in the design, reconstruction, and optimization of filling station operations to reduce operational costs, improve environmental safety, and comply with regulatory requirements.
