Patent number: 8448675Abstract: 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: March 6, 2012Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Franklin Fueling Systems, Inc.Inventors: Joseph A. Mellone, Randall S. Boucher

Patent number: 8402817Abstract: A system and method for detecting a leak in a Stage II vapor recovery system is disclosed. The system may monitor the Stage II vapor recovery system for the occurrence of quiet times and record pressure data during those quiet times. The system may make a determination of a leak based on the evaluation of the pressure data from a plurality of the quiet times.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2009Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Franklin Fueling Systems, Inc.Inventors: Joseph A. Mellone, Randall S. Boucher
