Steps to take When a Line Leak is Detected:
Reference the policy and procedures at you site / Chapter 5.
1) Identify what type of leak was detected
2) Stop / Prevent dispensing (bag or tape poly over dispenser & dispense lever).
3) Inspect the piping system, dispenser, fittings, and hoses for obvious leaks. Open
the dispenser enclosure, and inspect the fittings and fuel filter for leaks (this is
especially important if maintenance or service was done recently).
4) If no leaks are found during inspection, then start another leak test to verify
the previous failure.
5) If a leak is found, or if the second line leak test also fails, then:
a) Shut off all power to the affected pump and dispenser
b) Take corrective action in accordance with local, State, and Federal regulations
c) Contact the local inspection agency, and follow all procedures and
instructions as required by State Laws and Regulations
WARNING When a line leak is detected, it is the station owner’s obligation to contact
the local inspection agency and comply with all of the reporting and procedure requirements
of local / State / Federal Laws and Regulations. These must be followed explicitly. Serious
legal, health and safety hazards could result from not taking the proper action. Where the
codes and regulations conflict with this manual, follow the regulations.
