N.M. Admin. Code § 19.15.40.17 - SELF SERVICE LP GAS DISPENSERS
A. Self-service dispensers shall be used to
dispense LP gas for motor/mobile fuel only. Only ASME constructed motor/mobile
fuel type containers that are permanently secured to a vehicle, that
incorporate an 80% stop fill device and ASME constructed stack type containers
permanently secured to a vehicle shall be filled. The filling of farm carts,
moveable fuel storage tenders and DOT cylinders is prohibited. The filling of
hot air balloon fuel cells approved by the federal aviation administration will
be allowed.
B. All self-service LP
Gas dispensers shall comply with the currently adopted version of NFPA 58,
sections: Vehicle fuel dispenser and dispensing stations and installation of
vehicle fuel dispensers.
C. The main
liquid valve(s) opening and closing devices shall be installed so that the
valve(s) are in the closed position when the transfer operation is not in
use.
D. Self-service LP Gas
dispensers shall be equipped with a device(s) for emergency shutdown of LP gas
and power, from a location remote from the dispensing and storage areas. The
device(s) shall operate to activate the valve(s) installed so as to shut off
the power and gas supply to the dispenser(s). The emergency shutdown device(s)
shall be distinctly marked for easy recognition.
E. In the event the self service dispenser is
located in an area remote from the storage container, an excess flow, or
approved shearing device, shall be installed in the piping where it emerges
from the ground under the cabinet and be installed so as to ensure that
shearing of the piping will occur on the downstream side of the excess flow or
shearing device.
F. All hoses used
for transfer operation on self service dispensers shall incorporate an approved
breakaway (pull -away) device and shall be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.

Appropriate step by step operating instructions shall be posted at or on each
dispenser, and shall be readily visible to the operator during transfer
operations. The instructions shall describe each action necessary to operate
the dispenser.
