§ 9-7-5. Self-service stations—automatic locking devices.  


Latest version.
  • It shall be unlawful for a self-service type of station to operate unless each dispensing unit for class I liquids, as defined in title 4, chapter 2 of this code, is provided with an automatic locking device that prevents the reuse of the unit after the hose has been replaced until the unit has been manually unlocked by means of a detachable key or similar mechanism. A computing pump that automatically prevents reuse until the reset handle is operated may be approved as complying with the provisions of this section, provided the reset handle is detached and is used only by the attendant to start the pump prior to each use by a customer. (Code 1963, Sec. 12-12; Ord. No. 3930, 6/14/97, Sec. 4)
