A distribution station includes a mobile trailer, a pump on the mobile trailer, a manifold on the mobile trailer and connected with the pump, a plurality of hoses connected with the manifold, a plurality of valves on the mobile trailer, each of the valves situated between the manifold and a respective different one of the hoses, a plurality of guided wave radar level sensors, each of the guided wave radar level sensors being associated with a respective different one of the hoses, and a controller configured to communicate with the guided wave radar level sensors and operate the valves responsive to signals from the guided wave radar level sensors.

A fuel dispensing nozzle of a fuel dispensing system comprising a lockout mechanism that prevents the delivery of fuel when the fuel nozzle is not inserted into a fuel reservoir. The fuel dispensing nozzle includes a lookout plunger selectively restrained from movement by a rocker arm. The rocker arm maintains a freely moveable condition or a constrained turn movement condition based on the status of the fuel nozzle.

Method and system for measured dispending of a liquid to a target reservoir. An oval gear flow meter provides two pulses from different magnets. A pipe subsystem allows liquid from an above-ground reservoir measured through the oval gear flow meter to be controllably dispensed using a controllable valve. A processor module, upon receipt of a start-signal, opens the controllable valve and, until receipt of a stop-signal, computes a volume of the liquid dispensed by the system into the target reservoir by counting the pulses as a first and second counts. An adjustable volume-per-count value is computed with the count(s) to obtain the volume of liquid dispensed. The processor generates an error when a difference between the two counts is greater than a predetermined threshold set considering a target precision setting for the dispensing system.

To prevent fuel from leaking to outside even when the fuel flows back at the time of an automatic stop operation during refueling. A fuel supply portion structure of a fuel supply pipe, including a tubular portion having a filler port and a connection port, a first flap mechanism which is provided on the filler port side of the tubular portion, a drain hole, and a drain hole on-off valve, wherein the drain hole on-off valve is disposed on a placement surface located at the lowermost side of a vehicle on an inner wall of a first inner diameter member, the placement surface is made of an inclined surface falling from the filler port side toward the connection port with respect to a horizontal plane of the vehicle, and a wall portion rising toward the filler port is provided on the filler port side of the inclined surface.

An oil filler port of the capless oil feeder includes: an oil filler port main body made of a resin, a breather tube portion made of the resin, and a flap valve. The oil filler port main body has a tubular shape and includes a nozzle insertion port for inserting an oil filler nozzle at one end and a fuel feed port for supplying fuel to a filler tube at the other end. The breather tube portion is formed integrally on an outer side of a peripheral surface of the oil filler port main body and connected to a breather tube. The flap valve is foamed to be insertable from the fuel feed port, and is disposed inside the oil filler port main body to close the nozzle insertion port and is opened by insertion of the oil filler nozzle.

The invention relates to an adapter and to a filling method giving the possibility of flexibility in the transfer of fluids from a filling cell to a fluidic circuit, depending on the different filling levels required on a production line, notably finding application for the transfer of fluids such as coolant fluid, brake fluid, air-conditioning fluid, to the corresponding fluidic circuit of a vehicle, for example on an automotive assembly line, or further in the energy sector for filling electric radiators with a fluid. The adapter comprises a conduit 4 connected to the filling cell 16 for sucking up filling fluid 5 contained in, and filling with the filling fluid 5, the fluidic circuit 2, and a plunger tube 6, secured to a piston 7 axially adjustable on an axis Y in a first guiding tube 9, having first and second ends 14, and connected through the first end to the conduit. The piston forms with the first guiding tube a first chamber able to receive a movement transmission liquid 3 through a hydraulic transfer line 10 in order to allow, by injection or by suction of the movement transmission liquid into, or from the first chamber, the movement of the plunger tube, via the piston, into a first or a second direction, along the axis Y, for plunging into or moving upwards the fluidic circuit.
