Compliance & Testing

The Compliance and Testing Department verifies thet fueling facilities are in compliance with State and Federal regulations, along with recommended practices that minimize the possibility of a fuel dispensing equipment failure, promoting fuel safety and minimizing any fire and environmental hazards (specifically the one's that are difficult to see without an inspection).

Any Federal and State regulated tank requires some type of annual inspection. These tests may or may not include the following: Flow restrictors, Line test, Cathodic testing, Calibration and Hose Continuity.
