Truck Storage Tank to AST fuel transfer pumps AST, Tank, Truck, fuel, Storage

I've been searching for info about fuel pumps to be use for fuel transfer from Fuel Transportation Trucks to the Aboveground Storage Tanks, mostly used in Marina Fueling Facilities (in our contry).
Gorman-Rupp and Goulds Pump are the manufacturers I've found with this kind of products and I've seen their pumps on duty in this kind of facilities.
It is importante to say that we would like to fill a 10000 Gal tank in about 45 to 60 minutes, so that means that our Capacity must be between 170 and 220 GPM aproximately. In our design, TDH doesn't exceed 20 feet.

The Pumps we've found with low heights work at low capacities and bigger pumps with greater capacities intersect system and pump curves off the curve  to the right (Run-out conditions).

Any suggestions?

Here in the U.S., many folks chose Simplex SmartPump systems as they are prepackaged with the pump, controls and containment (not just the pump itself).  The 3" model will deliver 350 gpm approximately.  See:
