A refueling vehicle may have a front fuel dispensing module with at least one or more hoses for dispensing fuel product from the fuel tank to an external tank. The front fuel dispensing module is located between the cab and the fuel tank containing the fuel product.

A dispensing machine for dispensing fluid products comprising a dispensing zone (15) in which elongated support means (12) are disposed, configured to support a plurality of removable containing units (11) of the fluid products in a stationary manner along a longitudinal axis (X) is disclosed. The dispensing zone (15) further includes translation means (20) configured to allow moving a receptacle (18) positioned on a metering unit and disposed on the translation means (20) substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction (X) to delivery positions substantially vertically below said containing units (11) and measurement means (16) configured to meter a quantity of fluid product that is delivered from a containing unit (11) to the receptacle (18) in a delivery position corresponding to the respective containing unit. Also disclosed is the use of such dispensing machine for preparing customized formulations of fluid products as well as a method for preparing user-defined target formulation from a plurality of dispensable fluid products.

The invention relates to a fuel dispenser (1) comprising a hose storage space (2) adapted to accommodate at least one fuel hose (3), an electronic compartment (4) containing a main frame control unit (5), and a hydraulic compartment (6) containing fuel dispensing means (22) for dispensing fuel into a vehicle reservoir. According to the invention, the hydraulic control unit (7) is located inside the hydraulic compartment (6) and is electrically connected to the mainframe control unit (5) by a main electric cable means (17). The invention also relates to a method for handling a fuel dispenser (1).

A vehicle fluid exchange machine is disclosed that allows the technician to control the flow into the vehicle or stand-alone cooling or hydraulic system either manually or automatically based on a safe working pressure for the vehicle. If the vehicle's cooling system can handle a higher pressure for example, the technician may adjust the machine's flow to a flow rate consistent with the higher pressure rating while monitoring the pressure across the system. The default setting for the air injection process is automatic, but can also be switched to manual by the technician.

A fluid exchange service cart for performing fluid exchange service operations on a vehicle. The fluid exchange service cart additionally comprises an instrument panel and a number of panel loci to which the instrument panel may be detachably appended in different operating configurations.

A fluid filling system for filling a tank from a source of fluid. The system is particularly beneficial for filling a DEF tank. The system has a pump connected to a fluid source, such as DEF. A fill hose has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is connected to the pump. The distal end includes at least one first sensor mounted adjacent the distal end. The distal end is adapted for insertion into the tank. A CPU is operatively connected to the first sensor and the pump. The first sensor communicates with the CPU to energize the pump when the sensor fails to sense fluid when the fill hose is inserted into the tank. The CPU deenergizes the pump when the first sensor senses fluid when inserted into the tank. As a result, the fluid filling system continually fills the container through the fill hose.

A gravity-fed fuel delivery system is provided. A central storage tank holds fuel to re-supply a number of pump trucks or other mechanized equipment, such as on a hydraulic fracturing location, and can be selectively raised or lowered. Hoses or other conduits extend from the central storage tank to individual fuel tanks of the equipment to be refueled. Adapters allow connection of the distal end of each hose or conduit to an inlet opening of a fuel tank. A float valve assembly senses when fuel inside an individual fuel tank is below a predetermined level, thereby mechanically opening a valve assembly to permit fluid to flow from the central storage tank, through a conduit, through the float valve assembly and into the fuel tank.

A conversion frame assembly configured to secure a fuel dispenser to a concrete pad and direct leaked fuel from the fuel dispenser into a sump at least partially embedded in the concrete pad. The conversion frame assembly includes a frame having a fluid passageway and a splash lip extending upward from the base plate and around the fluid passageway. The conversion frame assembly also includes a drainage tray configured to be coupled to the splash lip of the frame. When the drainage tray is coupled to the splash lip of the frame, an upper surface of the drainage tray defines a weir sloping inward and downward toward the fluid passageway in the base plate.

Various exemplary devices and methods for heating fuel hoses and nozzles are provided. In general, the devices and methods for heating fuel hoses and nozzles can be configured to heat fluid dispensable by a user into a fuel tank or other type of container. In some embodiments, a fuel dispensing device can include a first passageway configured to pass fluid therethrough and can include a second passageway configured to pass heated air therethrough. The heated air passing through the second passageway can be configured to heat the fluid passing through the first passageway. In some embodiments, a fuel dispensing device can include a single hose configured to pass fluid and heated air through separate passageways therein, and the device can include a manifold configured to facilitate passage of the fluid and the heated air from separate sources into the single hose.
