What is the purpose of break-away protection at a residential fueling facility?

  1. To ensure constant fuel flow

  2. To prevent fuel leaks during accidents

  3. To automatically shut off ignition sources

  4. To allow for remote fueling

The correct answer is: To prevent fuel leaks during accidents

The purpose of break-away protection at a residential fueling facility is to prevent fuel leaks during accidents. This type of protection is designed to ensure that if a vehicle accidentally pulls away while still connected to the fueling hose, the connection will break away safely without rupturing the hose or releasing fuel. This safety feature is essential for minimizing the risk of fuel spills, which can pose serious safety hazards, including fire hazards and environmental pollution. By effectively preventing leaks in the event of an accidental disconnect, break-away protection plays a vital role in maintaining safety and compliance with regulations governing gas fueling operations.
