A residual first fluid may remain within the delivery line after the dispensing step. The system or method may further include features or steps for connecting the nozzle to a clearance tank. A clearance outlet line may fluidly couple the clearance tank to the manifold. The system or method may further include features or steps for purging the residual first fluid from the fluid delivery line into the clearance tank and delivering the residual first fluid from the clearance tank to the first fluid storage tank.

Methods and Systems for Controlling Fluid Flow to a Fluid Consuming Asset

A system for delivering a fluid to a fluid consuming asset having a fluid tank is disclosed. An inlet of a manifold is fluidically coupled to a storage tank that contains the fluid to be delivered. A first distal end of a fluid transporting mechanism is fluidically coupled to an outlet of the manifold. A second distal end of the fluid transporting mechanism is fluidically coupled to the fluid tank.
