What's the best way to control/start multiple diesel fire pumps on a private
yard system? Would fire pumps with Pressure Limiting Devices be the best

Assuming the pumps are installed parallel to each other I don't see any
reason to spend the extra dollars for the PLD's.

they are the only ones that manufacture a UL listed expansion tank for FP
use.
