Abstract
A socket assembly is provided which is part of an overfill protection system for use on a bottom loading fuel tanker truck. The overfill protection system includes a plurality of sensors in the truck compartments which are electrically coupled via wires to the socket assembly. Due to wear, the outer socket of the socket assembly may need to be replaced. The present invention enables an operator to replace the worn socket without having to disconnect the wires from the socket assembly.
