It would probably be best sold as a service instead of a device. It's not easy to train staff to operate equipment like this. Also, it's likely to engage a cat-and-mouse escalation which either means a headache-fueled field-updatable device (more complexities for gas station staff) or rapidly-obsolete devices.
But the service might be a hard sell -- the service would have to be more effective than manual pump kiosk inspections. Best to try and sell to an established brand that operates the stations themselves (are there any or are they all franchisees?) 7-11 operates gas stations in urban markets likely to be targeted, they might be a good client.
