134 Vapour recovery—testing

(1) The occupier of a petrol service station must ensure that the control equipment required to be fitted to a petrol dispenser is tested using—

(a) a vapour recovery performance test conducted immediately after the removal or replacement of any of the components required to ensure the integrity of the vapour recovery system, and

(b) if an automatic pressure monitoring system is not installed and fully operational at the petrol service station—

(i) a vapour recovery performance test conducted at least once every 6 months, and

(ii) a vapour containment integrity test conducted on the petrol storage tank, fittings and lines at least once every 3 years.

Maximum penalty—

(a) for a corporation—100 penalty units, or

(b) for an individual—50 penalty units.

(2) The occupier of a petrol service station must ensure that a petrol dispenser is not operated unless the most recent results of—

(a) a vapour recovery performance test in relation to the dispenser shows the vapour recovery to liquid dispensed ratio was at least 95% and no more than 105%, and

(b) a vapour containment integrity test shows the petrol storage tank, fittings and lines are functioning properly.

Maximum penalty—

(a) for a corporation—100 penalty units, or

(b) for an individual—50 penalty units.

(3) In this section—

vapour system recovery performance means the ratio of the volume of recirculated vapour and air mixture to the volume of liquid dispensed into the fuel tank of a vehicle.
