A breakaway separation detection and alerting system. A breakaway fuel hose is connected to a fuel pump. A breakaway unit connects the nozzle hose section and the fuel pump hose section of the breakaway fuel hose together. When the breakaway fuel hose is subject to tension in excess of a predetermined load, the breakaway unit will separate. An alarm activation device will then activate an alarm capable of alerting an individual remotely located from the breakaway fuel hose. In a first preferred embodiment, the at least one alarm is a first alarm and a second alarm. The first alarm is located in proximity to the fuel pump and the second alarm is located remotely where a fueling station employee can monitor it. The first preferred embodiment also has a transmitter and a receiver. When a breakaway separation condition occurs, the first alarm sounds. Also, the transmitter sends a signal to the receiver. The receiver then activates the second alarm, alerting the remotely located fueling station employee.
