ABSTRACT:
A fuel dispensing apparatus includes a fuel reservoir having a pump to pump fuel from the reservoir into a first leg of piping. A master dispenser downstream of the first leg of piping has an outlet hose, a user-controllable switch activatable to turn on the pump to pump motor fuel from the reservoir to the master dispenser, a meter to detect the flow of motor fuel being dispensed through the master dispenser, and a second leg of piping downstream of the meter and exiting the master dispenser. A satellite dispenser is connected to second leg. An electronic means simulates the activation of the switch by turning on the pump and determines the meter's detection of the flow of motor fuel during a time of simulated activation of the switch and outputs a leak detection signal when such flow is detected.
