ABSTRACT:
A circuit for controlling a pump for pumping a column of gasoline floating on a column of water. A first probe is positioned at the level of the pump intake and a second probe is positioned beneath the first probe. A float switch is positioned adjacent the pump intake for providing a signal when the pump is immersed in liquid. The float switch and the probes are operatively connected to an AND gate circuit which generates a preselected signal when both probes are immersed in a nonconducting liquid. A time delay is operatively connected to the AND gate and begins a timing period responsive to the preselected signal. At the end of the timing period, the time delay provides a signal which energizes the pump. A latch circuit maintains the pump in an energized condition until both probes are again immersed in water.
