The NFPA code that applies to propane dispensers located at multiple fuel refueling stations is _____.

• A. 30A
• B. 58
• C. 54
• D. 400A

Answer: (A)

NFPA 30A applies to LPG dispensing at motor vehicle fueling stations. It specifically covers the equipment, installation, and safe operating practices for propane dispensers at fueling sites, including multi-station setups, with requirements for dispensing equipment, electrical classifications, bonding/grounding, ventilation, emergency shutoffs, and fire protection. NFPA 58, by contrast, deals with storage and handling of LPG at bulk plants or individual containers, not the dispensing operations at service stations. NFPA 54 covers natural gas piping and appliances, not LPG fueling. NFPA 400 is a general hazardous materials code and doesn’t focus on LPG dispensing at fueling facilities. So for propane dispensers at multiple fueling stations, the applicable code is NFPA 30A.
