In the autogas dispensing system, what is the purpose of the pump?

• A. To move propane from the holding container to the hose.
• B. To measure the amount dispensed
• C. To heat the propane
• D. To purify the gas

Answer: (A)

The pump's job is to create flow by moving liquid propane from the storage tank into the dispensing line and hose. It provides the energy and pressure needed to push the fuel through the system so it reaches the nozzle for delivery. The amount dispensed is tracked by the meter, not the pump. Heating the propane isn’t part of the pump’s function, and purification isn’t performed by the pump either; those tasks are handled by other parts of the system or upstream processes.
