Overfill The Problem Whether you call it overfill, overspill or something else, the problem is creating headaches for all of us. It can happen because of inaccurate sticking of the tank, dropping the wrong compartment or filling the wrong tank. Regardless of the cause, what it means is the tank is filled beyond its capacity. After a truck compartment has been unloaded, as much as 10 to 20 gallons of gasoline may remain trapped in the delivery hose. If there is no room in the tank, the contents of the hose could spill onto the driveway or into the fill manhole when the hose is uncoupled. Hydrocarbons can and do pollute. They saturate the ground and can even leach into ground- water supplies. Warranty All Emco Wheaton products are warranted free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of manufacture. THE WARRANTY SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY EMCO WHEATON AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, (WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL), INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WAR- RANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 2 Legislators are aware of the problem and are studying ways to correct it. They probably won't go after the transport driver — negligence is hard to prove — but they could come after you. Legal precedent holds the property owner responsible for what happens on his land. Station owners could be held responsible for overfills at their locations, and be forced to pay the cost of cleaning them up. Emco Wheaton has several ways to protect against overfill. Your best bet for worry -free overfill protection is our new AUTOMATIC OVERFILL PREVENTION SYSTEM. It works like an automatic nozzle on your fill pipe and shuts -off product flow at a safe, predetermined level. Emco Wheaton's liability under this warranty is limited to, at Emco Wheaton's option, the repair or replacement of that part which proves to be defective within twelve (12) months of date of manufacture. Emco Wheaton is not responsible for claims for damage due to improper installation or maintenance, corrosive fluids, or use of a product fora purpose other than it was specificaily designed for. Emco Wheaton shall have no liability or be required to fulfill any obligation under this warranty unless the original purchaser permits Emco Wheaton to inspect the item to determine whether the claimed defect is covered by this warranty and returns the claimed defective item to Emco Wheaton's factory at Conneaut, Ohio with all transportation charges to said factory prepaid. 0 If you choose to use more traditional methods of overfill protection, Emco Wheaton has something for you. A new CONTAINMENT MANHOLE made of aluminum and gas -resistant plastic has some radical design features that make it the best available on the market. Emco Wheaton also offers FLOAT VALVES and COAXIAL DROP TUBES that can reduce the risk of costly product spills. These Emco Wheaton products are described on the following pages. Should you have additional questions, contact your nearest distributor, or call the factory direct at (800) 321-5233. We feel that your business interests and the environment are worth protecting. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL EMCO WHEATON BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES OR EXPENSES OR ANY OTHER CHARGES BEYOND THE INVOICE VALUE OF THE DEFECTIVE ITEMS. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO THE USER AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER REMEDIES. © Copyright 1986 Emco Wheaton, • Inc. All rights reserved.
