Here is another example of a simple, external relief valve being used on a tanker's direct fill line to reduce the possibility of over pressuring the tank. The tanker has a 4-inch direct fill line and the control valve had no relief feature, so a simple relief valve was placed on the fill connection and set at a pressure to protect the T-type, poly tank.
