The Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI) is soliciting comments for a new publication entitled Recommended Practices for Inspection and Maintenance of Fuel Dispensing Equipment (PEI/RP500-2005.

Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) February 9, 2005 -- The Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI) is soliciting comments for a new publication entitled Recommended Practices for Inspection and Maintenance of Fuel Dispensing Equipment (PEI/RP500-2005)
The committee members responsible for developing the RP500 come from petroleum equipment manufacturers, installers, and contracting companies, as well as petroleum marketing companies.
The document applies to fueling equipment intended to dispense gasoline, diesel, and related petroleum products into motor vehicles at commercial and retail-fueling facilities. Equipment covered includes all above-grade, liquid- and vapor-handling components, from the base of the dispenser cabinet to the nozzle spout.
The ultimate goal of the recommended practices is to provide a resource concerning the proper inspection and maintenance of motor-vehicle fuel-dispensing equipment. The intent is to identify potential hazards, take corrective action, and establish appropriate safe work procedures and practices. Once published, the new recommended practice is expected to minimize the possibility of fuel-dispensing system failure, reduce fire hazards, promote fueling safety, and minimize environmental hazards.
Interested parties are invited to review the draft document and submit comments, suggestions or recommendations for revisions to the RP500-2005. To submit your comments go to http://www.pei.org/RP500.
If you prefer a hard copy, call PEI at (918) 494-9696 and request “RP500 Draft.” A copy will be mailed to you. All comments must be received in Tulsa by Thursday, April 7, 2005, to be considered by the committee.
If you have questions or need further information, please feel free to contact Bob Young at (918) 494-9696
