Which of the following components is NOT monitored by ATGs?

  1. Tank

  2. Product piping

  3. Beneath the tank

  4. Vapor recovery system

The correct answer is: Vapor recovery system

Automated tank gauges (ATGs) are designed primarily for monitoring various components associated with underground storage tanks (USTs). These systems provide crucial data to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. The vapor recovery system is typically designed to manage and control vapors emitted from the storage tank during fuel dispensing and does not fall under the monitoring capabilities of standard ATGs. ATGs focus on measuring liquid levels, detecting leaks, and sometimes gathering information about the conditions of the tank and the surrounding areas, such as the tank itself, product piping, and beneath the tank where potential leaks may present risks. Thus, the primary role of ATGs is to monitor the fluids within the tank, any associated piping that transports the product, and the area directly underneath where leaks might be detected. In contrast, the vapor recovery system focuses on emissions and air quality compliance, which, while also vital, is not within the monitoring scope of ATGs. This distinction clarifies why the vapor recovery system is not monitored by these gauges.
