Methods and Systems for on Demand Fuel Supply
An improved method of delivering fluid to a fluid consuming asset having a fluid tank. A tank filled with fluid is coupled to a manifold through a fluid delivery coupling having a first pressure relief valve set at a first predetermined pressure threshold disposed between the tank and the manifold. The fluid is directed back to the tank through a first re-circulation inlet when the first pressure relief valve opens. A second pressure relief valve is disposed between the manifold and the tank and directs fluid back to the tank when back-pressure in the manifold exceeds a second predetermined pressure threshold. The manifold is coupled to a fluid transporting mechanism which is fluidically coupled to the fluid tank. fluid flows out of the manifold into the fluid transporting mechanism, through a fill cap and into the fuel tank.
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.

Methods and Systems for on Demand Fuel Supply
In a method and system for delivering fluid to a fluid consuming asset having a fluid tank, an inlet of a manifold is fluidically coupled to a tank and an outlet of the manifold is coupled to a spigot. A pressure relief valve is disposed between the tank and the manifold to facilitate fluid flow back to the tank through a recirculation inlet when the back-pressure in the system reaches a threshold value. A first distal end of a fluid transporting mechanism is coupled to the spigot and a second distal end thereof is coupled to a hydraulic connector of a fill cap having a connection plate coupled to the fluid tank of the fluid consuming asset. The fill cap further comprises a probe and fluid flows from the first tank to the second tank, through the manifold and the hydraulic connector, through the probe and into the fluid tank of the fluid consuming asset.

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.
