A chamber for a fueling system, comprising:
- a housing having a lower surface and including at least one raised portion and at least one recessed portion;
- a plurality of inlets to the housing;
- and
- a plurality of outlets from the housing, wherein electrical lines extending between the inlets and the outlets are positionable within the at least one recessed portion, whereby a service technician can step on the raised portion without disturbing the electrical lines positioned in the recessed portion.
A chamber for a fueling system, comprising:
- a housing having a first wall, a second wall opposite the first wall, a third wall coupled to the first and second wall, a fourth wall opposite the third wall, and a lower surface coupled to the first, second, third, and fourth walls;
- a first support member positioned on the first wall;
- a second support member positioned on the first wall and spaced apart from the first support member;

- a panel configured to be positioned within the housing and supported by the first, second, third, and fourth support members.
A fitting for sealing an opening through a wall forming a part of a fueling system, the fitting comprising:
- a first surface;
- a heating element positioned to heat the first surface of the fitting and the wall forming a part of the fueling system when the fitting is operably positioned adjacent the opening in the wall, whereby heating the first surface of the fitting and the wall with the heating element causes the fitting and the wall to bond and form a seal therebetween;
- and
- a compression fitting.
