SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not use this product for fluid transfer into aircraft. This
product is not suited for use with fluids for human
consumption or fluids containing water.
The Fill-Rite Model BD807CMK is a positive displacement,
durable, nutating disc type meter designed for accurate
dispensing of biodiesel fuel at flow rates of 5-20 gpm (19-
76 lpm) at pressures not to exceed 50 psi (3.5 bar). The
meter body is aluminum. Inlet and outlet ports are 3/4" NPT.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Relieve pressure from pump before installing meter by
opening nozzle and draining fluid into an approved
container.
Meters are furnished for horizontal piping, left to right flow.
Use oil resistant pipe compound on all threaded joints.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3/4” STREET
ELBOW
(702F3400)
Figure 1.
To install meter on a BD700 pump (see Figures 3 & 4)
1. Disconnect pump discharge assembly by removing two 5/16”
bolts at pump outlet (see Figure 3). Save bolts and gasket for
step number 3.
2. Install the 3/4” street elbow at outlet of meter.
3. Place gasket (removed previously) in proper position at meter
inlet. Connect meter inlet flange to the pump using two 5/16”
hex bolts (See figure 4). Caution: Pump must NOT be operated
without its check valve (700F2661) or the check valve alternate
(700F2679).
4. Install hose at outlet of 3/4" street elbow (figure 4)
Figure 3.
Figure 2.
To install meter on a Series BD1200 pump (see Figures 1 & 2):
1. Remove 3/4” street elbow from outlet (top) of pump. See Figure
1. Save street elbow for step #3.
2. Install 3/4” x 2-1/2” pipe nipple (included with meter) at outlet of
pump.
3. Install 3/4” street elbow (from step #1) at inlet of meter.
4. Assemble meter to pump as shown in Figure 2.
5. Install hose at outlet of meter. If desired, install 3/4" street
elbow at outlet of meter before installing hose.

For accurate measurement, meter and piping must be filled
with liquid and free of air. Meter should be calibrated per
instructions in this manual prior to its use.
1. Reset meter to “0” (with no liquid flowing).
3. Meter is ready for use. Start flow of liquid. Do not exceed
50 PSI line pressure.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
The Series BD807CMK meters are factory calibrated in either
U.S. gallons or liters using mineral spirits. Calibration is
recommended when first using the meter, after disassembly, or
after significant wear.
1. To calibrate the meter, first locate a container of KNOWN
volume. It is recommended that the container’s volume be
five gallons or larger.
2. Prime the pump and meter to remove all air from the system.
3. Reset the meter to zero (with no liquid flowing).
4. Fill the container to the known volume.
5. If indicated amount does not match known volume, insure
pump is off and pressure relieved, then remove seal screw
(item 23) and turn calibration screw (item 21)
counterclockwise to reduce the amount indicated on the
meter, or clockwise to increase the amount. A full turn will
change the indicated amount by about 0.1 Gal. (0.4L).
6. Reinstall seal screw.
7. Repeat step 2 - 6 until calibration is acceptable.
Meter chamber assembly consists of upper and lower chambers,
a nutating disc and seal gasket. Reassemble by reversing
procedure.
If replacement of any components of the meter chamber
assembly is required, the complete assembly must be replaced
due to the precise method of its construction. This assures a
proper fit and a correctly operating chamber.
Gear Train and Seal
To disassemble gear train and seal, remove gear frame (item
12) by prying slightly. Remove cluster gear (item 10) and
washer (item 11) from shaft (item 9). Remove drive gear (item
8) and washers (item 7) by rotating and pulling drive gear. Remove
O-ring seal (item 6).
When reassembling seal, lubricate O-ring liberally with oil or
petroleum jelly and replace in cover. Place washer on drive gear
shaft. Carefully rotate and push shaft through O-ring and cover
to prevent damage to O-ring. Shaft must then be guided into pinion
bevel (item 28) if counter has not been removed. Replace
remaining parts to complete assembly by reversing disassembly
procedure.
Storage:
If meter is to be stored for a period of time, clean thoroughly. This
will help protect meter from damage.
Counter is reading high or low:
Check calibration and recalibrate if necessary.
Check for air in product and repair air leaks.
Meter chamber or gears may be worn or sticking. Correct by
cleaning or replacing internal metering components.
Shaft seal leakage:
Dirty or damaged seals. Correct by cleaning o-ring and seat
area or replacing seal.
Gasket leakage:
Correct loose gasket by tightening joints.
Clean dirty gaskets and seat area.
Replace damaged gaskets.
Low flow capacity:
Clean clogged meter chamber
Clean or replace screens and filters in piping.
Meter body cracks:
Install pressure relief valve to allow high pressure to bleed back
to tank.
Nutating disc breaks:
Avoid flow surge by putting shut-off valve on outlet of meter.
Place meter as close as possible to pump and keep piping full
of liquid.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Meter is maintenance free under normal operation. However,
if meter becomes plugged, it will likely need to be
disassembled and cleaned. Use mineral spirits or diesel fuel
to clean meter components.
Counter Assembly
For access to counter assembly, remove reset knob (item 3) by
grasping edges and pulling firmly. Remove two screws (item
29) and lift counterface (item 2) and cover (item 1) off. Remove
two screws (item 13) to extract counter (item 4). Reassemble
by reversing procedure.
Meter Chamber
To expose meter chamber, tilt the meter slightly face down, so
that no parts fall out when removing meter housing. Remove
the four screws (item 20), then remove meter housing (item 19).

PRODUCT WARRANTY
D
efinition: Biodiesel is a clean burning fuel made from vegetable oil or animal fat that has been processed to meet the
r
equirements of ASTM D6751 standard. Only biodiesel that meets the ASTM D6751 standard are to be used with Fill-
R
ite Series BD807CMK meter. Unprocessed or recycled vegetable oil are not biodiesel and are not to be used with the
F
ill-Rite Series BD807CMK meter.
B
iodiesel is often blended with petroleum diesel fuel. When blended, the resulting fuel is known by the percentage of
b
iodiesel in the blend; ie. a 20% biodiesel blend with 80% petroleum diesel is know as B20. Pure biodiesel is B100,
a
lso know as “Neat” biodiesel. Blends with 20% biodiesel or less (B1-B20) are generally treated like petroleum diesel
f
uel.
T
he Fill-Rite Series BD807CMK Meter Kit are designed to handle biodiesel blends of B21–B100 (21%-100% biodiesel).
U
sers who wish to dispense blends with lower concentrations of biodiesel (B1-B20) should use the Fill-Rite Series
F
R807CMK meter kit.
T
emperature Limitations: B100 (100% biodiesel) that meets ASTM D6751 has a “gel” point of 38°F (3.3°C). If B100
g
ets colder than 40°F (4.4°C), the Fill-Rite Series BD807CMK meter may not operate properly due to the thickness of
t
he fluid. In some situations, tank manufactures may be able to supply tank and pipeline heaters that are safe to use
a
nd can keep the temperature of the B100 above 40°F.
C
leaning Properties of Biodiesel: Biodiesel has scrubbing and cleaning properties that tend to loosen rust, varnish, and
d
irt in storage tanks, piping, and equipment. The resulting debris can clog filters and screens, or damage equipment. It
i
s important to understand this and take precautions to prevent problems when first using biodiesel.
S
helf Life of Biodiesel: It is recommended that biodiesel be used within 6 months for best performance. Microbial
g
rowth may occur if biodiesel is stored for longer periods.
