Hi, this is Ben Thomas with UST training, and this is a tank savvy minute. Today we’re going to talk about slow flow. Have ever been trying to fill up your vehicle and you’ll notice that the nozzle is going very very very slow, and it frustrates you what does it actually mean. It could mean that the filters are clogged perhaps in need changing, it could be that it’s a cold morning and the day is warming up and the pump is still kind of waking up, but it could be that your leak detector has tripped. Now this is a device that’s threaded into your pump and if this device here thinks it’s found a leak in the underground line it will actually restrict the flow and give you what you call slow flow. It’s meant to irritate the customer or the attendant to make a notification to the supervisor because it could be that there is a three gallon per hour leak in the underground line. Slow flow means that, so if you’re getting really slow flow events over and over again talk to your supervisor or talk to the station attendant and let them know. Slow flow could mean an underground leak in the line. This is Ben Thomas with UST training, and this has been a tank savvy minute.
