Veeder-Root Fuel Alarm
A leak sensor found fuel in a sump, pan or tank wall.
On a TLS-350, a basic sensor reports any liquid this way.
Veeder-Root's step is a service call.

On the screen: FUEL ALARM
- Write down the sensor number shown with the alarm.
- Print the alarm report at the console.
- Press ALARM/TEST, or tap the alarm bar, to silence it.
- Fuel spilling at a pump? Use the emergency cutoff.
When to call a tech
- Now: the sensor may be watching a leak.
- You see or smell fuel near the pumps or tanks.
Not to be confused with
- Fuel Out: the tank is nearly empty. It's not a leak alarm.
- High Liquid: any liquid 8 to 10 inches deep in a pan or sump.
Good to know
- Veeder-Root's team cleared 40% without a tech (2018).
- Liquid in a tank wall or sump can be a suspected leak.
- Federal rule: report a suspected leak within 24 hours.
- Your state can set a stricter deadline.
Who can fix it
- A tech certified on Veeder-Root consoles.
- Texas: tank repairs need a TCEQ-registered contractor.
