Fuel verification system
Fuel management systems for a fuel dispensing facility including a fuel delivery system are disclosed. The fuel delivery system includes at least one storage tank configured to contain a fuel, at least one dispenser configured to receive the fuel from the at least one storage tank, and a fuel handling system which is configured to one of (1) deliver the fuel to the at least one storage tank, (2) receive the fuel from the at least one storage tank, (3) monitor for a leak within the fuel delivery system, and (4) monitor for a fuel inventory within the fuel delivery system. The fuel management system may include installation records of the fuel handling components. The fuel management system may monitor cameras positioned in sumps of the fuel delivery system. The fuel delivery system may include a camera positioned to monitor an interior of a sump, the interior of the sump being provided by a sump basin and a sump cover. The sump cover may be a sump lid. The sump cover may be a dispenser. The sump cover may be another portion of the fuel delivery system.
1. An installation system for a fuel dispensing facility including a fuel delivery system having at least one storage tank configured to contain a fuel, at least one dispenser configured to receive the fuel from the at least one storage tank, and a fuel handling system which is configured to one of (1) deliver the fuel to the at least one storage tank, (2) receive the fuel from the at least one storage tank, (3) monitor for a leak within the fuel delivery system, and (4) monitor for a fuel inventory within the fuel delivery system, the installation system comprising:
at least one input module;
a controller operatively coupled to the input module;
at least one output module operatively coupled to the controller, the controller being configured to receive at least one installation image of the fuel handling system installed at the fuel dispensing facility, to receive a first fuel handling system approval indication with the at least one input module, to provide a second fuel handling system approval indication with the at least one output module; and to generate an installation record for the fuel handling system.
2. The installation system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive a site plan of the fuel delivery system with the at least one input module, to receive a first site plan approval indication with the at least one input module, to provide a second site plan approval indication with the at least one output module.
3. The installation system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive an identifier of the installer of the fuel handling system with the at least one input module, the installation record for the fuel handling system including an indication of the installer.
4. The installation system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one installation image comprises an image of a sump of the fuel delivery system.
5. The installation system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to receive a sequence of installation steps to be completed in a sequential order, and wherein the at least one installation image is associated with one installation step of the sequence of installation steps.
6. The installation system of claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to determine a current step of the sequence of installation steps, the controller determining whether the current step and the step associated with the at least one installation image correspond to the sequential order of the sequence of installation steps.
7. A method of verifying a fuel system installation, comprising the steps of:
receiving, by a first control system, a request to initiate a fuel system installation project through an interface of the first control system;
receiving, by the first control system, fuel system installation project information related to the fuel system installation project, the fuel system installation project information including a site drawing;
during a physical fuel system installation of the fuel system installation, receiving, by the first control system, fuel system installation data of the physical fuel system including at least one image of the physical fuel system installation;
sending the fuel system installation data of the physical fuel system to a second control system for review; and
receiving, by the first control system, a request for additional fuel system installation data of the physical fuel system.
