ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a pressure apparatus for use in analyzing the leak integrity of a fluid dispensing system such as a system used to dispense gasoline from an underground storage tank into a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes at least one pressure device (e.g., a pressure gauge and/or a quick-connect fitting) having its own enclosure. The apparatus has an additional containment structure substantially surrounding the device enclosure so that inadvertent fluid leaks are captured by the structure. Also disclosed is a fluid dispensing system incorporating one or more apparatus. The apparatus is particularly useful for carrying out periodic inspections of the system to help assure that it is substantially leak-free.
