A.
All deliveries of fuel oil to purchasers thereof, in vehicle tanks
used as measures, shall be recorded by the seller, in terms of gallons
and grades of oil, upon forms known as "delivery tickets."
B.
Every delivery ticket used in the delivery of fuel oil shall consist
of an original and one or more duplicates, and after delivery, the
gallonage delivered shall be recorded at least in duplicate. Such
delivery tickets shall be consecutively numbered and contain the following:
date of delivery, name of customer, delivery address, grade and quantity
of oil delivered, truck number and signature of driver.
C.
One copy of the delivery ticket shall be left at the point of delivery.
D.
No person shall issue or direct the issuance of or have in his possession
delivery tickets showing different quantities of oil for the same
delivery or tickets with preprinted quantity representations for undelivered
oil.
No deliveries shall be made in excess of the marker capacity
of the truck or compartment. Every driver of a vehicle tank used as
a measure shall have in his possession, and present to the representative
upon request, the calibration chart for the truck from which he is
delivering fuel oil, together with the loading tickets and delivery
tickets for the current day.
All fuel oils with a temperature greater than 60° F.
shall be sold, offered for sale or delivered on a basis of a temperature
reading of 60° F. A tolerance of 25° F. will be
permitted for No. 4 and No. 6 oils. A tolerance of 10° F.
will be permitted for No. 2 oil.
A.
All deliveries of fuel oil to purchasers thereof, from vehicle tanks
equipped with meters, shall be recorded in terms of gallons and grades
of oil by means of the ticket-printing device upon forms known as
"printer tickets."
B.
Such printer tickets shall be consecutively numbered and shall contain
the following: date of delivery, name of the customer and the delivery
address, truck number, sales number, grade and quantity of the oil
delivered and the driver's signature. For those truck meters
not equipped to print a sales number, the driver must have the initial
totalizer readings recorded in ink or typed on his daily route sheet,
and the original totalizer numbers must be kept in the office, or
the printer shall print totalizer readings on the delivery ticket.
C.
Every driver or person in charge of a vehicle tank in which fuel
oil is being transported or from which it is being delivered shall,
before starting the delivery and at the point of delivery only, place
the printer tickets into the printer device for the purpose of recording
the quantity of fuel oil to be delivered and shall, upon termination
of each delivery, effect the completion of the printer ticket and
the removal thereof from the printer.
Vehicle tanks equipped with meters shall have no bypass or other
device or mechanism attached thereto by which any measured liquid
can be diverted from the measuring chamber of the meter or the discharge
line therefrom.
Vehicle tanks equipped with meters shall be provided with a
mechanical air eliminator adjacent the meter inlet and shall be so
equipped as to prevent air or an emulsion of air and oil from passing
through the meter and/or being delivered to the consumer. The vent
from the air eliminator shall terminate in the nearest compartment
not more than one inch below the top of the compartment. The vent
shall be of rigid material and shall be of the largest size that can
be accommodated in the fitting on the air-eliminator housing, as designed
by the manufacturer. No device shall be provided or used to shut off
or otherwise obstruct such vent.
When fuel is purchased for resale, or is sold, offered for sale
or delivered directly to the public by the dealer or owner of a fuel
oil bulk plant, the operator of the vehicle transporting or delivering
such oil shall retain in his possession during such transportation
or delivery and shall exhibit to a representative, upon request, a
ticket commonly known as a "loading ticket," which must be issued
by the seller or his agent, and which shall indicate the grade of
fuel oil as well as the quantity. If the temperature of the oil is
above 60° F., a volumetric correction to 60° F.,
must be made. A tolerance of 25° F. will be permitted for
No. 4 and No. 6 oils. A tolerance of 10° F. will be permitted
for No. 2 oil.
A retail petroleum product device of the meter type shall be
so constructed that after a particular delivery cycle has been completed
by movement of the starting lever to its shutoff position, an effective
automatic interlock will prevent a subsequent delivery being started
until the indicating elements have been returned to their correct
zero positions.
