Conducting and recording a daily inspection is an Arizona requirement. All vapor recovery sites must keep a written record of their daily inspections, training and maintenance for one year and make logs available for review. To ensure that your station is in compliance, the Department requires you to perform a daily walk of your station and record the results of the following: Make sure your vapor recovery components are certified. If you cannot determine if a component is certified, contact your VR contractor or Weights & Measures (602) 771-4920. Remember, the use of uncertified components subjects you to a fine of up to $5,000 per month. You can also check by visiting CARB's website. Replace all flattened or kinked hoses Check to be sure seals are in good operating condition and caps are on the underground storage tank. This is especially important after a gasoline delivery is made. Also, be sure the driver of the delivery truckhooks up both the gasoline line and vapor line. Remove malfunctioning nozzles from service. If a nozzle fails to shut off, remove it from service immediately. When a micro switch is broken, the nozzle will not automatically shut off. This can cause overfilling of the tank and, as with topping off, results in liquid gas blocking the vapor line. Replace boots which have triangular tears or slits. Any tear larger than 1/2 inch on a side of a triangular tear means that the boot must be replaced or repaired. If you can cover the tear by placing a penny on its side and can still see the tear, the boot needs to be replaced. Replace any damaged flexible cones (assist systems). Wear and tear may cause slits to form in the depression of the boot that will cause vapor leaks. Use your thumbs to separate the ribs of the boot to check for slits. Replace all boots that have slits one inch or larger. The law requires that at least 3/4 of the flexible cone must be present when used to dispense gasoline. Examine each flexible cone daily to ensure that at least 3/4 of the circle is intact. Remember, it's best to replace any flexible cone that is damaged or partially missing. Replace any damaged or warped faceplates and wire clamp placement (balance systems). The law requires that at least 3/4 faceplate must make a good seal when used to dispense gasoline. Examine each nozzle faceplate daily for damage or warping and ensure that at least 3/4 of the faceplate is intact. The wire clamp on the upper portion of the nozzle boot attaches the boot snugly to a "check valve" inside. If the wire clamp is too low, the valve will not open and the nozzle will click off. If the wire or clamp is too high, the valve will stay open and vapors will escape
