Patent number: 11885452Abstract: A termination fitting assembly for use with a conduit includes the conduit comprising a primary pipe positioned centrally within a secondary pipe along a longitudinal axis of the conduit and the conduit having an interstitial space defined between the primary pipe and secondary pipe. The termination fitting assembly includes an interior fitting having an inner wall and an outer wall, the inner wall sized and shaped for insertion into and sealing with the primary pipe, and the outer wall extending circumferentially around the secondary pipe of the conduit. The termination fitting assembly includes an annular channel defined between the inner wall and the outer wall of the interior fitting and in fluid communication with the interstitial space of the conduit and an exterior fitting positioned around the conduit.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Franklin Fueling Systems, LLCInventors: Kiran Muggulla, James Novak, Todd Breuer, Justin F. Kuehn, Randall Boucher

Patent number: 11858803Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for controlling a fuel delivery system to limit acidic corrosion. An exemplary control system includes a controller, at least one monitor, an output, and a remediation system. The monitor of the control system may collect and analyze data indicative of a corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system. The output of the control system may automatically warn an operator of the fueling station of the corrosive environment so that the operator can take preventative or corrective action. The remediation system of the control system may take at least one corrective action to remediate the corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Franklin Fueling Systems, LLCInventors: Nicholas Schultz, James Novak, Bill Nelson, Randall Boucher, Martin Turnidge, George Risch, Todd Breuer

Publication number: 20230280198Abstract: A car wash additive measuring system and method use a bubbler which provides a flow of pressurized gas through each bulk container. A pressure of each individual flow of pressurized gas is measured by a pressure transducer to output a signal indicative of the level of additive stored in the container. Flow rates of the respective flow of pressurized gas may be adjusted to accommodate particular additives.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Randall Boucher, Vitaliy Demin, Danny Norton

Patent number: 9108837Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting a failure in a Stage II fuel vapor recovery system are disclosed. An exemplary failure is a restriction in the vapor recovery system. In one detection system dispensing points may be flagged if it is determined that there has been a series of detected A/L ratios at the respective dispensing point below a first threshold. Further, an estimated ORVR penetration percentage may be determined for each dispensing point. In a second detection system an average A/L ratio for each dispensing point may be determined. The average A/L ratio may be an approximation of the average A/L ratio for non-ORVR transactions.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2013Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Franklin Fueling Systems, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Mellone, Randall Boucher
