2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, all marina storage tanks filled by means of remote piping must have installed in the piping at a point where connection and disconnection is made between the tank and a delivery vehicle either a check valve and shutoff valve with a quick-connect coupling or a check valve with a dry-break coupling.

Daily inventory records are not required when a marina is closed during the off-season if the tank contains only a de minimis quantity of fuel.
