Fluid Interface to Receive Removable Container
A fluidic interconnect includes a first interface including a liquid port, a gas port, and a cradle; a second interface including a liquid port, a gas port, and a swing bar to engage the cradle, a weight of a container attached to one of the first or second interfaces to drive the liquid port of the first interface into connection with the liquid port of the second interface and the gas port of the first interface into connection with the gas port of the second interface.
Method and apparatus for limiting acidic corrosion and contamination in fuel delivery systems
A method and apparatus are provided for controlling a fuel delivery system to limit acidic corrosion. An exemplary control system includes a controller, at least one monitor, an output, and a remediation system. The monitor of the control system may collect and analyze data indicative of a corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system. The output of the control system may automatically warn an operator of the fueling station of the corrosive environment so that the operator can take preventative or corrective action. The remediation system of the control system may take at least one corrective action to remediate the corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system.

Device and Method for Pumping Low Evaporation Products Under Vacuum
The device for pumping products from a pumping area (2) to an enclosure (3) comprises two tanks, a transfer system (8) which generates a suction of the products from the pumping area (2) to the tanks (4A, 4B) and a transfer of the non-gaseous products from the tanks (4A, 4B) to the enclosure (3), valves (3A, 3B, 3D, 3D, 3I, 4C, 4D, 4I, 4J) to, alternately, allow or block the communication from one tank (4A, 4B) to the pumping area (2) and a communication from the other tank (4A, 4B) to the enclosure (3), and a control system (25). The transfer system (8) comprises a suction unit (13) provided with hydro-ejectors (13A, 13B) connected to each tank (4A, 4B) and generating the suction of the products and a transfer unit (20) provided with a pump connected to the tanks (4A, 4B) to transfer non-gaseous products to the enclosure (3).

FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR PROBE
A method and apparatus are provided for controlling a fuel delivery system to limit acidic corrosion. An exemplary control system includes a controller, at least one monitor, an output, and a remediation system. The monitor of the control system may collect and analyze data indicative of a corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system. The output of the control system may automatically warn an operator of the fueling station of the corrosive environment so that the operator can take preventative or corrective action. The remediation system of the control system may take at least one corrective action to remediate the corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system. One or more sensors may be employed to signal proper operation of the remediation system.
Filter key for fountain access door
A liquid dispenser station includes a liquid dispenser configured to dispense liquid that passes through a filter. The filter is disposed within the liquid dispenser station. The liquid dispenser has an access door to provide access to the filter. The filter includes a key to open the access door.
LOW LEVEL WATER SENSOR AND METHOD OF USE
A low level water sensor and method of use in, e.g., mitigating acidic corrosion in a fuel storage tank is disclosed.
Beverage filtration device
Beverage filtration device including a lid body having an internal housing configured to hold an ion exchange resin-filed cartridge therein having a connection end and a top end having an opening therein, and, stem body having a cap region, collar, beverage conduit and stem air tube. The cap region couples to the connection end of the lid body to form a liquid-tight seal coupling there-between. A collar wall first portion fits inside a beverage mouth container and a second portion located outside of the mouth. The beverage conduit spans the collar, a first conduit opening open to the coupling between the cap region and the connection end and a second conduit open to a container interior. The stem body air tube extends through the collar, a proximal opening of the stem body air tube opens to an air vent hole located in the second portion of the collar wall, and, a distal opening of the stem body air tube opens to the container interior.
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.
