A breakaway assembly including a first connector and a second connector releasably coupleable to the first connector. The assembly is movable between a first configuration in which the first and second connectors are releasably coupled and together define a fluid path through which fluid is flowable, wherein the fluid path includes an at least partially radially extending portion, and a second configuration in which the first and second connectors are not coupled together. The assembly is configured to move from the first configuration to the second configuration when a predetermined separation force is applied to the assembly. The assembly further includes a closure valve positioned in one of the first or second connectors, wherein the closure valve is configured to be in an open position when the assembly is in the first configuration to allow fluid to flow therethrough, and to move to a closed position blocking the at least partially radially extending portion of the fluid path when the assembly moves to the second configuration to generally block the flow of fluid therethrough.

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.

A handheld fluid meter includes a cartridge valve controlling the flow of fluid through the handheld meter. The cartridge valve includes a valve cartridge and a valve stem disposed within the valve cartridge. The cartridge valve guides the valve stem and provides the only sealing surface for the dynamic seals and control seal disposed on the valve stem. The handheld meter dispenses through a nozzle, which includes an overmolded stem tip that generates a laminar fluid flow as the fluid exits the nozzle. The overmolded stem tip is a compliant material. The handheld fluid meter includes circuitry configured to invert the orientation of a visual output provided by a display of the handheld fluid meter to facilitate installation of the handheld fluid meter for use in an oil bar application.
