The futuristic features of modern fuel dispensers
A fuel dispensing kit is a tool/gear used to pump fuels such as gasoline, diesel, CNG, kerosene, high octane and all other types into vehicles. A fuel dispensing unit mainly consists of two main parts. One is the control head, which has a built-in computer, and the other is the mechanical part. These two are the main components of a fuel distribution kit. The CPU installed inside the mechanical system controls the pumping flow rate, displays logs and connects to a sales system; while the mechanical system itself has electric motors, pressure gauges, gauges, and valves (all the math equipment there is). The entire system contains a submersible pump that is submerged in the fuel tank for the transfer process to progress. However, in the case of distant fuel tanks, a suction pump may be involved to draw fuel from storage to the dispensing unit.
A gasoline/diesel/high octane dispensing unit may have more than one hose; and the nozzles attached to the end of these hoses are inserted into the fuel tank of the vehicle for the fueling process. The material chosen to make the hoses can be such that it can withstand harsh weather conditions and wear and tear over a long period. Nozzles can be color coded to distinguish what type and grade of fuel they are dispensing. Color coding may vary from country to country and company to company. Nozzle sizes differ to prevent accidental pumping of incompatible fuel into a tank. Generally, a diesel pumping nozzle is larger and cannot fit into a small sized gasoline fuel inlet on a gasoline vehicle.
Modern technology allows gasoline and diesel distributors to have display functions and human-machine interfaces, which allow consumers to interact with them and be as user-friendly as possible. Magnetic card readers allow customers to use their credit/debit cards to facilitate payments. By using these features, customers can also verify their transactions by entering their ID via number pads. Today’s fuel dispensing equipment can even blend or mix two fuels in the correct or predefined ratio prior to dispensing (relatively for particular predefined vehicles). An electronically controlled flow meter controls the precise flow of the amount of fuel to be pumped into a car. Modern fuel dispensers are also equipped with a sensor adjustment tube, which runs inside the nozzle. The function of this tube is to cut off the flow of fuel as soon as the tank is full. The automatic cut-off is very necessary as it prevents the fuel from spilling out of the tank. The fuel dispensing kit even contains the mechanism to prevent the loss of gasoline vapor into the air by keeping the output speed controlled (not too fast or too slow).
