ABSTRACT:
A method of and apparatus for detecting and collecting spilled fuel products from fuel dispensers of the type that are customarily mounted on a raised concrete island. One or more deflectors are mounted within a casing for the fuel dispenser at an elevation higher than the raised island. The deflectors serve to redirect the spilled fuel onto the top of the raised island so that the existence of the spilled fuel may be detected and corrected. It is possible for the deflectors to include channel members and for the spilled fuel to be delivered to more than one location on the island. In another embodiment of the invention, the spilled fuel product is conveyed to a flame and vapor safe container for disposal or recovery.
