Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci / Fuel handling
French term or phrase: de type source
The term refers to a fuel loading system. It means that the sysem can only supply (not receive) the product. I am wondering whether there is a corresponding term in the petroleum engineering jargon to render "de type source".
See below for the context.
