What’s Wrong Shear Test Port
What's wrong with this picture?
Notice the ball valves on the metal stems to the right of each shear valve. They're not supposed to be there. A lazy tester installed them to avoid the trouble to connecting to the test port to test the lines. If the dispenser was hit and the stems were also damaged the shear valve wouldn't work and a spill would happen regardless.
What’s Wrong Flex Connector
What's wrong with this picture?
Well, at least we know where the leak came from. Another example of the need for periodic flex connector inspections and double walled piping.
What’s Wrong Leak Detector
What's wrong with this picture?
We guess the adding of ethanol, combined with a vapor pathway from the tank to the sump, combined with ambient sump moisture, created a perfect breeding ground for corrosion.
What’s Wrong Shear Pin
What's wrong with this picture?
Coat hangers are not recommended for the trip arm of the shear valve.
What’s Wrong Isolation Boot
What's wrong with this picture?
Metal product piping in contact with earth not fully isolated; yellow sleeve poorly installed and appears mostly for show
