These requirements cover power-operated equipment for dispensing liquefied petroleum gas into the fuel storage container of a vehicle where the gas is primarily used as an engine fuel.

The electrical features of power-operated dispensers are as described:

a) In the United States: UL 1238, Standard for Control Equipment for Use with Flammable Liquid and LP-Gas Dispensing Devices;
