Abstract: An electromechanically operated fuel nozzle having at least four flow rate settings including maximum flow, minimum flow, and a plurality of intermediate flows. The fuel nozzle includes a plurality of solenoid valves, each configured to, upon actuation, permit a predetermined portion of the maximum flow through a fuel-dispensing pipe. The fuel nozzle also includes an electronic board configured to, in response to input indicating selection of a particular one of the flow rate settings, selectively actuate one or more of the solenoid valves such that the predetermined portions provide the particular one of the flow rate settings.
