DISPENSING PUMP FOR FUEL VENDING SYSTEMS
A dispensing pump for fuel vending systems, comprising a pump body which forms internally a pumping chamber, which rotatably accommodates an impeller, functionally connected to a motor, and provided with an intake connector and a delivery connector, which communicate with the pumping chamber and can be connected to a fuel dispensing line; the pump body has at least one coupling portion for at least one auxiliary device of the dispensing line.
Methods and systems for on demand fuel supply
Apparatus for delivering fluid to a fluid consuming asset having a fluid tank includes a tank operable to contain the fluid and a fluid delivery coupling fluidically coupling the tank to a manifold. A pressure relief valve is fluidically coupled to the manifold, disposed between the manifold and the tank, and coupled to the tank through a recirculation inlet. The pressure relief valve is set at a predetermined pressure threshold and opens when the back-pressure in the manifold exceeds that threshold. The fluid is directed to the tank through the recirculation inlet when the pressure relief valve opens. A fluid transporting mechanism is fluidically coupled to the manifold at a first distal end and a fill cap at a second distal end. The fill cap is coupled to an opening of the fluid tank and fluid can flow from the manifold to the fluid tank through the fluid transporting mechanism.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FILLING AN LPG TANK EQUIPPED WITH A SPIT VALVE AND A FILL ASSEMBLY
A method and a system are disclosed for filling an LPG tank equipped with a spit valve and a fill assembly, the method comprising providing an indication of a level in the LPG tank upon detection of a filling vehicle in a vicinity of the LPG tank, the filling vehicle having a filling hose; initiating a filling of the LPG tank once the filling hose is connected to the fill assembly of the LPG tank; determining when a current level reaches a given level in the LPG tank and stopping the providing of the LPG to the LPG tank once the current level reaches the given level in the LPG tank.

VALVE FOR A GRAVITY FED SILO TANK FUELING SYSTEM
A fleet refueling silo tank system gravity feeds fuel through hoses to fleet units without requiring pressurizing pumps. Specialized valves at the fleet unit fuel tanks prevent vapor escape and admit fuel at low, gravity fed pressures. The cylindrical silo tank includes an upper, gravity feed dispensing chamber and a lower reservoir chamber. A fuel pump doubles as means for moving fuel from the reservoir chamber to the dispensing chamber and for refilling the reservoir from fuel delivery trucks. Onboard telemetry transmits fuel consumption and flow rates wirelessly to a control center where operators monitor safety parameters in real time. Stored data may be analyzed to calculate fleet unit maintenance and service intervals. A tractor trailer hauls the silo tank horizontally on roads and highways and includes a gantry and hydraulic lifts to erect the silo tank into vertical operating position supported by a built-in platform.
