You'll notice the product piping coming into the dispenser is not stainless steel or FRP but rubber. Plus the shear valves are not anchored. If a vehicle were to strike the dispenser and knock it over, both failing shear valve and non-standard piping could lead to a major accident like a fire.

This was discovered at an active UST site that was having trouble passing a leak test.

Notice the copper tubing curling from 6 o'clock counter clockwise up to about 11 o'clock? It doesn't go anywhere. That's because someone removed the mechanical leak detector, which was probably in slow flow and irritating the customers. In our training we warn folks not to do this. In fact we learned last year about a $15,000 fine from a state UST agency to a UST operator who did just that.
