ABSTRACT:
A system and method for removing, compressing, and storing excess air and vapors from a fuel dispensing facility fuel storage containment system during periods of over-pressurization without venting or processing the excess air and vapors. The stored air and vapors are subsequently returned back to the containment system during periods of under-pressurization that typically occur diurnally during periods of high fueling activity. The system may be used to compliment an ORVR compatible dispensing system that typically encounters over-pressurization problems when low or no refueling activity is occurring.
