How to maintain and upkeep a fuel dispenser
The maintenance and upkeep of fuel dispensers are key to ensuring their normal operation, extending their lifespan, and providing accurate measurements. The following are detailed steps and suggestions for the maintenance and upkeep of fuel dispensers:
Firstly, daily maintenance and upkeep
Cleaning work
External cleaning: The outer surface of the fuel dispenser, including the oil pump, Flow meter, interface, etc., should be cleaned daily to ensure that there are no oil stains, dust, or impurities.
Internal cleaning: Regularly open the outer cover of the fuel dispenser and wipe all internal components, especially the oil gun, hose, internal oil, gauge, and connecting pipelines, to ensure cleanliness and absence of oil stains.
Check the display screen and keyboard
The display screen should show clear numbers, the backlight should light up normally, and the keyboard keys should be sensitive. If any problems are found, they should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner.
Check the oil sight glass
The sight glass should be filled with oil and there should be no leakage. If bubbles are found, it indicates that there is leakage in the fuel dispenser pipeline, and it should be stopped immediately and maintenance personnel should be notified for inspection.
Check the motor belt
Check whether the tension of the motor belt is appropriate and whether there is any damage to the appearance. If the belt is too loose or too tight, it should be adjusted in a timely manner; If the appearance is damaged, a new belt should be replaced.
Clean the filter screen
The filter should be cleaned regularly, and the cleaning frequency depends on the operation of the gas station. New stations or pipelines should be cleaned weekly, and gas stations that have been in operation for more than three months should be cleaned monthly.
Check the safety valve and anti overflow device
Regularly check the sensitivity and adjustment of safety valves and spill prevention devices to ensure they can function in a timely manner and prevent unexpected situations such as oil leaks and fires.
Secondly, regular maintenance and upkeep
Calibration work
Every month or at intervals specified by the gas station, use a standard measuring cylinder to self check the fuel output of the refueling machine, ensuring that the measurement error is within ± 0.3%. If it exceeds the range, it should be adjusted or repaired in a timely manner.
Lubrication and fastening
Regularly lubricate the easily worn parts of the fuel dispenser to reduce friction and wear. At the same time, tighten the loose fasteners and adjust the gap between the movable parts.
Replace worn parts
According to the operation of the fuel dispenser and the manufacturer's recommendations, regularly replace severely worn parts such as valves, seals, etc.
Check electronic and control systems
Regularly inspect the electronic and control systems of the fuel dispenser, including sensors, control units, display screens, and cable connections, to ensure their proper functioning. If any problems are found, they should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner.
Data backup and system updates
Regularly update the system software of the fuel dispenser to ensure compatibility with the hardware. At the same time, regularly perform data backups to prevent data loss and damage.
Thirdly, precautions
Safe operation
When performing maintenance and upkeep on the fuel dispenser, the corresponding power supply should be turned off and warning signs should be placed around to ensure safe operation.
Professional maintenance
For complex repair and maintenance work, professional personnel should be hired to operate to avoid equipment damage or safety accidents caused by improper operation.
Record maintenance history
After each maintenance and upkeep, the date, details, and results of the maintenance should be recorded. These records help track the performance and maintenance history of fuel dispensers, and predict future maintenance needs.
In summary, the maintenance and upkeep of fuel dispensers is a systematic and complex task that requires the joint efforts of gas station staff and professional maintenance personnel to ensure the normal operation and accurate measurement of fuel dispensers.
