Section SPS 340.43 - Dispensing to vehicle fuel tanks, recreational equipment and containers(1) PUBLIC SELF-SERVICE PROHIBITED. Self-service dispensing by the general public of any gas regulated by this chapter is prohibited, except trained members of the general public may fuel compressed natural gas motor vehicles through a fueling connection that complies with ANSI NGV1-2006. Note: The ANSI NGV1-2006 standard contains construction and performance criteria for compressed natural gas vehicle fueling connection devices consisting of (1) a receptacle (mounted on the vehicle), (2) a nozzle (mounted on fueling dispenser), and/or (3) a three-way valve (internal or external to the nozzle), having design pressures of 2400, 3000 or 3600 psig. Nozzle design will not permit gas flow until positively engaged to the receptacle and will not release the receptacle until gas flow has ceased and captured gas is safely vented. Intermating components are standardized. Nozzle and receptacle design prevent the fueling of a vehicle with lower service pressure by a dispenser with a higher service pressure.
(2)GENERAL. No person, except for the following, may dispense any gas regulated by this chapter unless the dispensing is through approved dispensing devices: (a) A trained and authorized employee of a bulk storage plant, container charging plant or service station.(b) A trained and authorized employee of an entity operating a commercial fleet of motor vehicles.(3)LOCATION OF KEY-, CARD- OR CODE-OPERATED DISPENSING SYSTEMS.

The keys, cards or codes referenced in subd. 1. are provided only to trained and authorized personnel.3. An attendant is on duty at all times when gas is being dispensed.(b)Non-public areas. Dispensing of gas is permitted without an attendant only if all of the following requirements are met, except subd. 1. does not apply to the fueling allowed in sub. (1):1. The dispensing system is located in an area that is not accessible or open to the general public.2. The system is equipped with approved key-, card- or code-operated dispensing devices.3.
