The call usually starts like this.
If one of these sounds like your site, the form above is the fastest way to get a defined path back.
Our firm has a generator project and nobody in-house has designed a diesel tank system.”
The county rejected the fuel-storage sheets and the comments are about Article 12, not the building.”
We're a petroleum contractor and the owner wants a permit set before we can price the job.”
Our architect needs the tank, fill and vent details coordinated with the building before the set goes out.”
We need someone to answer the fuel-system RFIs during construction.”
Concrete deliverables, not a proposal to write one.
- Fuel-system drawing sheets and details prepared to your standards for inclusion in your set
- Equipment schedules and specifications: tanks, piping, sumps, dispensers, ATG and fuel control
- Code and AHJ review memo: applicable sections, submittal requirements and likely plan-review comments
- AHJ comment responses and resubmittal support
- RFI and submittal review during construction
- Peer review of fuel-system designs prepared by others
How ZE approaches technical design support for firms.
Zambrano Enterprises provides specialized fuel-system design and technical consulting services. When professional engineering review or certification is required, ZE coordinates with appropriately licensed Professional Engineers through established professional relationships nationwide.
Works in the background
Your client, your name on the set, your relationship. ZE does the fuel-system portion, coordinates with your project team and does not market to your client. Much of ZE's work has been performed this way for other engineering, consulting and petroleum-industry organizations.
Detail that survives plan review
SCDHS Article 12, Nassau Article XV, WCDOH Article XXV, NYSDEC Part 613, VA DEQ 9VAC25-580 and 9VAC25-91, NFPA 30, 30A and 110, and the local fire marshal's habits. The sheets are prepared by someone who submits to these reviewers regularly and knows what comes back.
Fits your engineer of record's workflow
ZE prepares the design and the technical basis for it. Your Professional Engineer or Registered Architect reviews and seals in the normal course of the project. ZE is a specialist consultant to your firm, not a competing seal.
How the work runs.
- STEP 1
Scope the fuel-system portion
What the project needs stored and dispensed, which sheets and specifications are yours and which are ZE's, the AHJs involved and the submittal dates you are working toward.
- STEP 2
Investigate and review the code path
Existing conditions, generator or fueling loads, fuel type, site constraints and a written read on the applicable code and AHJ requirements, including what the reviewer is likely to comment on.
- STEP 3
Design and detail
Fuel-system sheets, details, schedules and specifications in your drawing standards, coordinated with your civil, mechanical, electrical and architectural sheets.
- STEP 4
Support plan review and construction
Comment responses, resubmittals, submittal review, RFI answers and field questions on the fuel-system scope through closeout.

Talk to a Fuel-System SpecialistDo you seal the drawings?
No. Zambrano Enterprises provides specialized fuel-system design and technical consulting services. When professional engineering review or certification is required, ZE coordinates with appropriately licensed Professional Engineers through established professional relationships nationwide. On a firm-to-firm engagement, the fuel-system sheets are prepared for review and sealing by your Professional Engineer or Registered Architect, and ZE provides the technical basis your engineer needs to evaluate the work.
Will you contact our client?
Not unless you ask. ZE works through your project manager, attends meetings when you want a fuel-system specialist in the room, and otherwise stays behind the scenes. Your client relationship is yours.
What do you need from us to start?
The site plan or survey, the fuel type and the load (generator size and run-time, or fleet and throughput), any existing tank records or registrations, the AHJ and the submittal date. From there ZE can scope the fuel-system portion and tell you what the sheets will need to show.
Do you work with petroleum contractors as well as design firms?
Yes. A large part of ZE's work comes through petroleum contractors who need a permit set to price against, a design that answers the county's questions, or a specialist to handle plan-review comments while they build. Contractors are partners on ZE projects.
Which states can you support?
ZE supports projects nationwide. The deepest day-to-day AHJ experience is in New York, particularly Suffolk, Nassau and Westchester counties and New York City, and the technical design work is the same wherever the project sits. Professional engineering review is coordinated with appropriately licensed Professional Engineers through established relationships nationwide.
Usually part of the same project.
Fuel System Design
Complete, constructible fuel-system designs with equipment, configuration, codes and AHJ requirements vetted before the contractor prices the job.
Construction Support and Owner Representation
Bid review, submittal review, field questions and closeout on the owner's side of the table.
Fuel Tank Permitting
Permit due diligence and approvals from every authority having jurisdiction, handled as part of the design rather than an afterthought.
