34-39-6. Specifications for liquid gas meters--Correction for temperature--Delivery from vehicle as misdemeanor unless equipped with meter. All liquid gas meters shall be of a positive displacement type equipped with vapor separator or provided with such other equipment which will positively eliminate all air and vapor from passing through the meter with the liquid gas, and differential pressure regulator and such meters shall be corrected, prior to use, to sixty degrees Fahrenheit liquid gas temperature and all deliveries of liquid gas through such meters shall, at the time and place of such delivery, be temperature corrected from sixty degrees Fahrenheit to the temperature of the liquid gas at the time and place of delivery and the customer billed accordingly. It is a Class 1 misdemeanor to make wholesale or retail sales to customers from any bulk delivery vehicle unless such bulk delivery vehicle is equipped with and dispenses said liquid petroleum gas through a liquid meter as herein provided. Liquid meters shall not be equipped with a bypass around said liquid meter; provided, however, that the prohibition of a bypass is not intended to prohibit the use of an equalization line.
