I was just at a Pilot truck stop this morning, and almost all of the diesel fuel pumps at the truck stop were out of order. This got me thinking about who would fix them. I've never heard of any trade school offering any Diesel Fuel Pump technician program. So how do these truck stops find repair men to repair their diesel fuel pumps?
Do the truck stops themselves train people on how to repair their diesel fuel pumps?
Who repairs diesel fuel pumps at truck stops when they break down?

Around here there is a company named Oscar Larson that does maintenance and repair on fuel pumps for just about every station. From filter changes to installing new pumps and everything in between it's all by Larson. Doesn't matter who's fuel is spitting out the pump.
Now this could be a regional thing, or even Michigan requires a certified company to do repairs. I don't know that part.CatchUp, Blue jeans, Another Canadian driver and 3 others Thank this. -

Let's be real, there really isn't much to a pump.
A couple safety devices, a couple electronics boards, a pump and pipes.
Yes, it requires knowledge, but it's not like building a rocket or anything.Blue jeans, Another Canadian driver and lester Thank this. -
I came to day the same thing ^^^^. OJT. Anyone somewhat mechanical could figure them out. Pumps are pretty simple. Weather pumping water, fuel or manure.
Then the electrical side would be a little more involved.
No special school like a wind turbine repair school or anythingAnother Canadian driver and expedite_it Thank this. -

A place called SW maintenance does every station around here in Northern Cali. They do everything from tank installs, vapor inspections, maintenance on tanks, to veeder root installation and maintenance.

Gilbarco has a training center for fuel pump and pos repairs, they build most of the pumps around the country under one or another name.
atlas I found out a month ago is owned by Gilbarco.
Veeder-root I think owns Gilbarco.RockinChair and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
