Ovation2 Fuel Dispensers Wayne-Ovation2

As one of the founders in the industry, Wayne has a long history of fuel dispenser innovation. The new Wayne Ovation2 fuel dispenser has raised the bar even higher. You will love the cleaner lines, updated styling and more than 25% larger branding area. But, the changes don’t stop there. The Ovation2 fuel dispenser has been re-designed with more metal and glass to help increase durability, a crisp, high-contrast display to enhance curb appeal, and a larger privacy area for security. All to help provide a better experience for your customers.

Loyal customers start at the pump.  When a customer has a great fueling experience — one that is clean, fast, secure, and friendly — they’re not only more likely to return, they step inside for a soda, magazine, lottery ticket, or candy bar. The Ovation2 fuel dispenser is easy to use and just as easy to own … it’s durable and easy to maintain while integrating flawlessly into your IT and payment systems. The Ovation2 fuel dispenser just might be Perfection2.  

DURABILITY Ready to withstand anything the world throws at it.  Your fuel dispensers have to stand out in the elements day after day, for years at a time — in the heat of an Arizona summer, the humidity of a Seattle spring, or the brutality of a Minnesota winter. They have to be ready to operate perfectly 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Ovation2 fuel dispenser is up to the challenge. The dispenser features a more streamlined bezel design introducing tempered glass and metal on high-touch areas. Additionally, all-metal columns protect against careless customers, swinging car doors, or whatever else the world may throw at it.  

VISIBILITY  High brandability. High styling. High engagement.  A customer has to notice your store before they are comfortable visiting it. Your fuel dispensers are the first line of service and engagement for nearly every customer that visits you. And because of that, they should carry your brand loud and strong. And they should do so in a way that is modern and pleasing to the eye. The entire package — shape, style, branding, and design working together — tells the world that you’re friendly, clean, up-to-date, and ready to do business with them.  

Ovation2 fuel dispensers are designed to do exactly that. Each unit features 25% more brandable space than previous Wayne dispensers — including two-tone bezel and side-column branding options — helping to engage your customers right from the road. And the sleeker, slimmer styling helps to show your customers that your store is clean, modern, and friendly.  

SERVICEABILITY  Accessible, updatable, and easy to own.  Keeping your fuel dispensers up and running at peak efficiency is important to both you and your customers. And Ovation2 fuel dispensers have been engineered to help make routine maintenance and technology updates as easy as possible.   And as payment and media technology evolve, your Ovation2 dispensers are engineered to evolve right along with them. Updating your dispenser is simple with easily configurable and interchangeable parts. Calibration is a one-step process that can be done quickly, and changing the paper is easy for any attendant to do — Ovation2 features the most accessible printer roll on the market. And of course, each unit is compliant with the latest payment technology standards.  

CAPABILITY  Advanced technology that drives profit.  Any new fuel dispenser needs to integrate directly with your operation and the way you do business.  

USABILITY  Friendly, secure, and easy to use.  A fuel dispenser must be intuitive — enabling and streamlining the transaction while employing privacy and security features that help your customers feel comfortable. Ovation2 fuel dispensers can lead your customer through each step in the process, from swipe, to selection, to “See you again soon.” All in the only fully ADA-compliant dispenser on the market.   And because privacy is at the forefront of everyone’s mind, we’ve engineered Ovation2 fuel dispensers to help guard your customers against the ever-present threat of fraud. Recessed soft-key panels and other physical design characteristics, combined with state-of-the-art security technologies, provide unmatched peace of mind and protection.

UST Operator Training  EPA has released the final operator training grant guidelines for states, which implement a key provision of the underground storage tank (UST) amendments of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The operator training grant guidelines describe the minimum requirements states must meet in order to comply with the operator training provision contained in the Energy Policy Act.  

The guidelines establish three distinct classes of UST operators, describe how and when states will implement the guidelines, and discuss when operators must be trained. The guidelines include: a description of the classes of operators, required training for each class of operator, deadlines when operator training is required, and examples of acceptable state approaches to operator training. In order for states to comply with these requirements, they must develop state-specific operator training requirements by August 8, 2009, and ensure that all three classes of operators are trained according to state-specific requirements by August 8, 2012.  

EPA worked with states, regional tank offices, and other stakeholders to develop the operator training grant guidelines. EPA provides funding to states through grants, which provide resources to help states regulate USTs and implement the UST program.
