  • D) Green
Part B · True / False
At some chains (e.g. QT), you must confirm the store manager has turned dispenser security/anti-tamper off before you start.
True False
It's okay to open a dispenser while a customer is actively fueling, as long as you're quick.
True False
The Wayne CPU board is the rough equivalent of the Gilbarco CRIND board.
True False
Over-tightening the filter housing is harmless.
True False
Part C · Short answer
If all fueling positions on one product are slow or dead, where is the problem most likely — and name two specific causes.
List the fill-cap colors for regular, premium, and diesel.
Fuel is actively leaking at a dispenser. What are your first actions?
You're not sure which tank a container of tested fuel belongs to. What do you do?

Show answer key
  1. B — One position vs. all positions changes the entire troubleshooting path.
  2. B — A clogged filter is the most common single-position cause.
  3. B — STP/motor deactivated and shear valve closed before opening a line.
  4. B — Repeated trips mean a short or ground fault; stop and investigate, don't keep resetting.
  5. B — Steady green = normal operation (blinking green = communicating/dispensing).
  6. C — White cap = regular unleaded.
  7. True.
  8. False — Never open a dispenser while a customer is dispensing.
  9. True — The Wayne CPU board is the equivalent of Gilbarco's CRIND.
  10. False — Over-tightening cracks the cap or cuts the o-ring and causes a leak; hand-tight plus a small snug.
  11. Upstream / line- or pump-side. Any two: STP not running/cycling; line leak detector tripped; check valve at the STP; actual line leak; power to the STP; tank empty or wrong product mapping.
  12. Regular = white; premium = red; diesel = yellow or green.
  13. Stop the source if safe (close the shear valve / shut down the STP), contain the spill, notify per procedure, and document what you found and did.
  14. Stop and call your manager — do not pour it.
