SECTION 165:15-3-10. Sampling

  Samples of regulated substances for testing must be obtained by Fuel Specialists from the same dispensing device used for sales to customers. Samples will be taken as often as necessary to ensure quality in one of the following manners:

(1)   At a retail or wholesale device dispensing a single grade of product, the first product to flow from the device will be taken for testing and considered representative of the product dispensed.

(2)   When the Fuel Specialist is calibrating a retail or wholesale device dispensing single or multiple products, the Fuel Specialist may take the sample from the same five (5) gallons used in the calibration of the dispenser.

(3)   At a wholesale plant using a single outlet for more than one product, the sample should be obtained directly from the storage tank or by any other convenient way that will ensure a sample representative of each product.

(4)   At a retail device dispensing a blend of products or dispensing multiple products through a single nozzle, the device must be set on the desired product to be sampled and the second sample will be taken for testing.
