After the fuel dispenser is installed and before commissioning, the operator shall check the following device:
• Check all pressure gauges to see if they work normally and if the readings are normal.
• Check all valves to see if they’re in right position, which means that the inlet valve should be shut, and outlet valve should be opened.
Check all the pressure gauges to see if they work normally, and if the readings are normal.
• Check all the pressure gauges to see if they work normally, and if the readings are normal. The readings should be in the middle of their range, or within 5-10 pounds of each other. If they are too high or too low, then you may need to replace your fuel pump as it is probably not working properly. If one gauge reads significantly higher than another, then it could be because one gauge has a higher resistance than another (giving a lower reading), or because there is an imbalance between supply and return lines that could be causing overpressure on one side (giving a higher reading).
• Determine whether any other parts of your system were damaged by checking for leaks in all places where there are hoses and connections (use soapy water as described above). Make sure that no new leaks have developed since replacing your filter cartridge!
Check all valves to see if they’re in the right position, which means that the inlet valve should be shut, and the outlet valve should be opened.
• Check all valves to see if they’re in the right position, which means that the inlet valve should be shut, and the outlet valve should be opened.
• Check all pressure gauges to see if they are working properly or not. If any gauge is not working properly then check it with a multimeter and change its fuse if necessary.
• Check the suction filter element of the fuel dispenser and clean it off if it’s dirty by cleaning it with water or soap solution and then wipe dry it with a soft cloth or tissue paper
Check the suction filter of the fuel pump to see whether it’s a clean one. If it’s not clean, or even has water or other impurities, then change it with a new one.
• Remove the cap from the suction filter of fuel pump and check whether it’s a clean one. If it has impurities or water, then replace it with a new one.
• Check whether there is enough space between the bottom and top of the tank at all positions to allow fuel to flow smoothly into your car’s fuel system when you fill up at gas stations; if not, add some insulation foam around the bottom part of your car’s tank until all gaps are closed up so that no air pockets form within them during use (this is especially important in cold weather).
Check the air-release valve to see if it can release air normally, and visually check whether there’s any oil leakage from the pipeline joint or other positions, including measuring pulse flowmeter hole, nozzle hole, etc. If there’s leakage existing, then fix it in time and check again till no leakage at all positions. Meanwhile, if there’s oil leakage on metering components of the fuel pump and probe seal ring, then change them respectively with new ones;

• Check the frame of dispenser for deformity such as cracking or breaking; Replace a new one if needed;
• Remove cover plate of dispenser assembly (if you have another way to remove cover plate without removing screws), start up engine and run till high speed; Turn key off while running engine condition remains unchanged until cool down naturally (about 1 minute);
Petrol station fuel pumps are complicated but an expert may fix them by using these steps or any other steps described elsewhere
Before undertaking this repair, it is important to understand the complexity of a fuel pump. The process requires many different tools and materials, some of which might not be easily accessible. Additionally, there are no set steps for fixing a fuel pump; each one can be different based on its age and manufacturer. If you are unfamiliar with any part of the process outlined below or if your machine has been damaged beyond repair, consult an expert before proceeding further.
A fuel dispenser is an integral part of any petrol station and can malfunction at any time. Fortunately, if you have experience working on these machines or around them in general (as most employees at such locations do), there are some basic steps that may help get your dispenser up and running again:
Why call in the experts?
Consider bringing in specialists who are fully qualified to stop something similar from happening again soon in order to keep the best and most efficient performance of any fuel dispensers. We recognize it is crucial to get you back up and running as soon as possible with the proper maintenance and repairs when a breakdown happens, causing both delay and loss of time and cash. Every fuel dispenser is made up of a number of tiny parts, and it is crucial to guarantee that each one operates as it should in order to provide efficient and effective service.
