A system, methods, and apparatus for preventing receptacle overfilling are presented. The system can include a sensor member configured to couple with a receptacle and sense a material level within the receptacle, such as via a sight glass of the receptacle. The system can include a controller in operable communication with the sensor member and configured to instantiate the shutoff of material flow from a material dispensing system if a particular material level is detected by the sensor member. The system can include an intermediate member configured to relay communications between the sensor member and the controller. The intermediate member can be coupled to a fluid line and can further act as a holster for the sensor member, such as by facilitating the coupling of the sensor member to the intermediate member and/or the fluid line.

A fuel dispenser comprises a fuel nozzle configured to be connected to a vehicle fuel system and fuel piping configured to transfer fuel from at least one fuel storage tank associated with the fuel dispenser through the fuel nozzle into the vehicle fuel system. A flow control valve is located along the fuel piping. A fuel dispenser controller comprises processing circuitry configured to receive vehicle fuel system data from a vehicle, determine a desired flow rate based on the vehicle fuel system data, and control the flow control valve to prevent a fuel flow rate from exceeding the desired flow rate.

Fluid delivery vehicles, such as water trucks, and fluid receiving units for use at well sites, storage facilities, treatment facilities, rail and barge terminals are disclosed. The fluid delivery vehicle has primary fluid discharge assembly downwardly extending from a tank on the fluid delivery vehicle for discharge of fluid into a fluid containment unit configured to contain a larger volume of fluid than the tank arranged below the fluid delivery vehicle.

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.

A spill containment system is attachable to a riser pipe with an axially moveable seal. The spill containment system allows access to a drop tube in the riser pipe via a removable liquid communication assembly. The spill containment system includes a sealed interstitial space, which remains sealed during installation, service and use of the system. The spill containment system is protected by a weather resistant cover assembly.

The present invention relates to incorporating a RFID chip and at least one sensor which contains a universal safe fuel transfer code and enable pumping the fuel only using the RFID Chip and the at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor detects whether the dispensing unit is connected to the receiving unit and further authenticates the universal fuel transfer code to signal a safe and leakage-free fuel transfer path for the fuel.

A multiply-redundant system that protects fueling of rockets, aircraft and other vehicles using Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) along with an oxidizer such as Liquefied Oxygen. One or more sensors in combination with one or more optional microswitches combine to detect any leaks, fire or explosion hazards quickly locking out further fueling. For different levels of safety, different combinations of sensors can be used.

An expanded flow rate receiver valve assembly attaches to a first fluid container and is in fluid communication with the first fluid container. The expanded flow rate receiver valve assembly includes a coupling section that selectively receives a closure valve attached to a second fluid container that selectively releases and restricts fluid contained in the second fluid container. The expanded flow rate receiver valve assembly also includes a valve chamber in fluid communication with the coupling section and located adjacent a coupling section opening. The valve chamber is in fluid communication with the first fluid container.

A service device for a pressure vessel system of a motor vehicle includes a service-device-side refueling coupling part which is connectable to a motor-vehicle-side refueling coupling part of the motor vehicle and a controller for activating the pressure vessel system. A method for the service of the pressure vessel system includes producing a connection between the service device and the pressure vessel system and activating the pressure vessel system by the service device.
