2014 Bennett BLU LNG Dispenser

What condition is it in, and what service has it seen?

The listing states this unit is new. No service history is provided; if this is new-old-stock that has been in storage since 2014, ask the seller about storage conditions and whether seals or elastomers have been inspected or replaced.

What certification or inspection status does it carry?

The unit carries NTEP Certificate of Conformance, Met Labs certification, and approvals to NFPA 52, NFPA 496, CSA 12.5-M99, ANSI/IAS NGVA 4.1-1999, NIST Handbook 44, and NCWM Publication 14. These are product-type certifications from manufacture; if your jurisdiction requires periodic field inspection or re-verification for LNG dispensers, confirm whether those have been performed or are due.

What should I inspect before putting it into service?

Verify the 1" Class 150 flange inlet and 1" SAE 37° JIC outlet fittings for damage or corrosion, particularly if the unit has been in long-term storage. Confirm the electro-mechanical totalizers reset properly, test the LCD displays and LED backlighting at both 115 and 230 VAC if dual-voltage operation is planned, and verify the remote hydraulics package is compatible with your site's existing pump and metering system. LNG dispensers typically require cryogenic-qualified hoses and breakaway fittings; confirm these components are present and within their service life, as elastomers and seals can degrade during storage even without use.
