Does the overfill protection device from Vetus work on foam or just liquid. I've dealt with some fuels that just seemed to foam like crazy.

The bollard is interesting in another way. Running the line through the gap and then up and around to make it fast might keep it from squinching. Looks like a good plating job as well.

Foaming fuel will come up in the tray instead, but I donīt see it much with the green diesel we have.

One of the ideas with this bollard is when people use ropes with loops in one end, they can take it through the gap and hang it around both ends of the bollard, which is not always possible with small loops on standard bollards.

It also takes more "crossed" line on top and the V:s are keeping the rope from slipping just enough without fastening.

These are still hand made from stainless steel and will get a more perfect shape when we start to make them more industrial. (The design is already protected of course).
