What to do if my Tuthill Fill-Rite has low flow capacity?
If your Tuthill Dispenser has a low flow capacity, it could be due to a clogged meter chamber. Try cleaning the meter chamber and also clean or replace any screens and filters in the piping. Another potential cause is a plugged filter, in which case you should replace the filter element. Finally, inspect and clean the pump as necessary, if it's plugged.
Why is my Tuthill Dispenser counter inaccurate?
An inaccurate counter on your Tuthill Dispenser can stem from several causes. First, the dispenser might be mis-calibrated, so check the calibration and recalibrate it as needed. Second, there might be air in the lines or dispenser chamber; in this case, check the line seals and joints for leakage, and seal any leaks you find. Lastly, the measuring gears or disc could be sticking. If so, clean or replace the internal dispenser components as necessary.
What to do if Tuthill Fill-Rite meter body cracks?
If the meter body of your Tuthill Dispenser is cracking, it's likely due to excess line pressure. Install a pressure relief valve so high pressure bleeds back to the tank. Also, replace the cracked meter body.
What causes a fluid leak in a Tuthill Dispenser?
A fluid leak in your Tuthill Dispenser is often caused by a dirty or damaged seal or gasket. Try cleaning the seal or gasket and its seat. If the problem persists, replace the seal or gasket.
