Cameras are everywhere these days. And they capture images that can be at once common, unusual and potentially frightening. Take for example videos showing vehicles driving away from fuel pumps with nozzles still in the tank. They can illustrate the point that drive-offs happen more often than one might think. They also help show the importance of break-away devices that keep these incidents from becoming huge problem.

We pulled just a few examples from the internet to show what can happen. An article some time ago in the New York Times figured the incidents happen about once per month at any given station.

Importance of Safe-T-Breaks

 
When these devices are installed correctly and working properly, fuel dispensing outlets can resume operations quickly with a minimal disruption to their facilities and their cash flow. Husky Corporation offers a full selection of Safe-T-Breaks that have passed demanding UL test requirements on separations without leaking or failing. The varieties range from conventional Safe-T-Breaks to the MagBreak, which utilizes magnetic technology for rapid re-connection.

Installation and re-connection of a Husky Safe-T-Break is demonstrated in this short video, which is among the most viewed on the company’s YouTube channel.

When the inevitable drive-away happens, make sure your operation is equipped with the best. Check  out the many break-away device options from Husky Corporation at the company’s web page http://www.husky.com/husky/safe-t-breaks/husky-standard-stb/.
