Where is the vapor pot located in relation to underground tanks and dispensers?

• A. Between The Underground Tanks And Dispensers
• B. Near Property Boundary
• C. Inside Each Tank
• D. Above Ground Near Dispensers

Answer: (A)

Vapor recovery systems use a central point in the piping to collect and route fuel vapors back to the storage system. The vapor pot is placed between the underground storage tanks and the dispensers so vapors from the underground lines and any ullage are captured and directed into the vapor recovery path as fueling occurs. This location gives a common junction for the vapor lines serving both the tanks and the dispensers, maximizing vapor capture and preventing releases. It wouldn’t be placed near the property boundary, inside each tank, or above ground near the dispensers, since those placements wouldn’t provide the proper collection point or could interfere with the system’s operation.
