Fuel Pump & Gas Station Signage: Everything You Need to Know

When managing or setting up a fuel station, every detail counts—from fuel pump performance to signage compliance and branding aesthetics. Fuel station operators must equip their stations not just for functionality, but for compliance, safety, and customer experience. One of the most overlooked yet crucial areas in this industry is fuel pump decals and gas station signage requirements.

Why Fuel Pump Decals Matter

Fuel pump decals serve more than just a decorative purpose—they provide legal, safety, and operational information to customers. These decals, whether for diesel fuel, octane rating, or vintage gas pumps, are critical for ensuring that consumers know what type of fuel they’re purchasing. Regulatory bodies, such as weights and Measures, ANSI and OSHA often require specific decal placements to meet safety standards and avoid legal repercussions.

Modern fuel stations often use Gilbarco Advantage and Gilbarco Encore S pumps or Wayne Ovation dispensers. Each of these requires compatible decals that clearly indicate fuel types and octane ratings.

Types of Gasoline Pump Decals

There are various types of decals available for fuel pumps:

• Octane rating decals for 87, 89, 91, and 93 octane.
• Diesel fuel decals to prevent cross-contamination.
• Gasoline pump stickers indicating ethanol content or regulatory notices.
• Vintage gas pump decals for aesthetic appeal in themed stations or classic restorations.
• Decals for fuel pumps that provide branding or promotional messaging.

These decals are made from our SharkSkin® durable vinyl to withstand outdoor elements and high usage.

Signage Requirements at Gas Stations

Gas station signage is governed by both federal and local regulations. Signage must:

• Clearly display fuel prices.
• Mark the type of fuel at each dispenser.
• Offer instructions for usage and safety warnings.
• Be legible and placed at eye-level for accessibility.

Failing to follow signage requirements can result in penalties or closure.
