Tank Level Monitors, Leak Detectors: OPW Fuel Management, Red Jacket, Veeder Root
Point-of-Sale Controllers: AutoGas, Dresser Wayne, Gasboy, Verifone
VeriFone's Ruby SuperSystem Point-Of-Sale Controller
We also provide assistance in helping affected areas meet provisions and requirements for Stage I and Stage II vapor recovery. Check with us first when considering a new or upgraded retail fuel facility.
A retail fueling site represents a sizeable investment and assumed liabilities. Our knowledgeable sales staff can help you assemble components to make your location compliant with the current (and envisioned) E P A requirements and also address local or regional regulations as well. Our outside territorial managers are available for personal face-to-face time as well to answer your questions in select locations.

Fueling Terminology
Blending: Proportional mixing of two stock grades of gasoline (usually unleaded and unleaded premium) to create a third grade of fuel.
Coaxial: A means of Stage I and Stage II vapor recovery (also known as balanced in Stage II applications).
DCR (also known as CRIND, ICR, CAT): A credit card processing terminal at the fuel dispenser (Dispenser Card Reader; Island Card Reader; Card Activated Terminal, et al). Keypad layout on the card reader is per oil distributor specifications.
Dual Point: A means of Stage I Vapor recovery.
Emergency Valve (also known as a Shear Valve or Impact Valve): A valve between the end of the supply pipe and the dispenser, designed to a) shear off and stop product flow when a dispenser sustains impact, and b) close through melting of a fusible link in the event of fire.
Mechanical Leak Detector (also known as MLD): On burial tanks, a means of leak detection. A pressure-sensing, piston valve that continually monitors pumping pressure within the line between the pump and dispenser and significantly reduces flow rate if leakage is detected.
Relay Control Box (also known as Smart Controller or IQ Control Box): Interfaces with turbine pumps and provides motor and wiring protection. Alerts employees to potential problems.
Sensors: Typically, in retail fueling applications, used in tank interstitial or turbine/dispenser sumps as leak detection. Can be vapor only, liquid only or liquid discriminating.
Sumps: Containment vessels for turbine pumps and dispensers, which use penetration boots to allow piping entry. Typically supplied with sensors to notify the site manager of presence of liquid.
Tank Monitor (Also known as Tank Monitor System or Tank Level Monitor): Typically an electronic system in a back room of the fueling site that tracks product level with varying degrees of sophistication, conducts tests for tank integrity (able to detect product leakage of 3 gallons per hour hourly, 0.2 gallons per hour monthly or 0.1 gallons per hour annually with most systems), provides high/low product level alarms, detects water level in the product, logs alarm situations. Some systems can notify off-premises recipients of the alarm situation in real time.
Turbine Pump (also known as a submersible pump): The most common means of pumping product in retail applications. Available in one-third, ¾ and 1½ horsepower versions, as well as two, three and five horsepower.
Uni-hose: Use of one hose per side of dispenser for all grades of gasoline. Where diesel fuel is also available, a second hose per side is dedicated solely to that product.
Vacuum Assist: A means of Stage II vapor recovery. Uses conventional-looking hoses and nozzles. The Healy vacuum system is currently the only CARB-certified system.
Vapor Recovery: Typically driven by mandates of the California Air Resources Board, the agency most other state agencies use as a model for regulating clean air requirements pertaining to gasoline. Stage I deals with capturing gasoline vapors during the tank filling process. Stage II, meanwhile, addresses capturing gasoline vapors during the motor vehicle fueling process.
