214.11 Inspections — recalibrations — penalty.
1. The department shall provide for annual inspections of all motor fuel pumps, including but not limited to motor fuel blender pumps, licensed under this chapter. Inspections shall be for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the pumps’ measuring mechanisms, and for such purpose the department’s inspectors may enter upon the premises of any wholesale dealer or retail dealer, as they are defined in section 214A.1, of motor fuel or fuel oil within this state. Upon completion of an inspection, the inspector shall affix the department’s seal to the measuring mechanism of the motor fuel pump. The seal shall be appropriately marked, dated, and recorded by the inspector. If the owner of an inspected and sealed motor fuel pump is registered with the department as a servicer in accordance with section 215.23, or employs a person so registered as a servicer, the owner or other servicer may open the motor fuel pump, break the department’s seal, recalibrate the measuring mechanism if necessary, and reseal the motor fuel pump as long as the department is notified of the recalibration within forty-eight hours, on a form provided by the department.
2. A person violating a provision of this section is, upon conviction, guilty of a simple misdemeanor.
