  • Patent number: 11034573
    Abstract: A fuel dispensing system includes a fuel tank adapted to contain a quantity of fuel. A fuel dispenser in is fluid communication with the fuel tank via piping. A pump is operative to transfer fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel dispenser. A corrosive detection assembly operative to identify presence of a corrosive substance in the fuel is also provided. The corrosive detection assembly has at least one thermoelectric detector positioned to be in contact with fuel vapor in the fuel dispensing system, the thermoelectric detector producing a detector signal indicating presence of the corrosive substance. Electronics are in electrical communication with the thermoelectric detector, the electronics being operative to interpret the detector signal and produce an output if the corrosive substance is present. The at least one thermoelectric detector may comprises a plurality of thermoelectric detectors at different locations in the fuel dispensing system.

  • Publication number: 20210139233
    Abstract: An underground sensing arrangement for use in a fueling environment comprises at least one sensor located under a ground surface and a power supply. The sensor is operative to detect a condition in the fueling environment. A wireless transceiver is in electrical communication with the at least one sensor and the power supply. The wireless transceiver has an environmental housing and electrical circuitry contained within the environmental housing. The electrical circuitry includes control circuitry, radio circuitry, and an antenna. The environmental housing is substantially transparent to electromagnetic frequencies at which the wireless transceiver operates and is potted substantially flush with the ground surface.

  • Publication number: 20160358146
    Abstract: A payment processing system and method comprising a POS module providing an interface to effect sales of FGS in a retail environment, a device module operatively connected to at least one retail device configured to supply FGS and comprising a card reader adapted to receive a first payment card data for payment for the FGS, wherein the device module is adapted to control operation of the at least one retail device, and a payment system module operatively connected to the POS module and the device module, the payment system module adapted to validate payment for the FGS. The payment system module and the device module are separated from the POS module in order to segment a portion of the payment processing system configured to handle payment card data from a portion of the system that does not handle payment card data.
