    摘要: An apparatus and process for preventive maintenance for nozzle elements of a fuel dispenser or recharging station can include a nozzle preventive maintenance apparatus (e.g. fuel dispenser nozzle preventive maintenance apparatus or vehicle recharging nozzle preventive maintenance apparatus). The nozzle preventive maintenance apparatus can be configured to communicate with a sensor element of a nozzle to evaluate the operational status of that sensor element. In the event the testing determines that the sensor element is malfunctioning or broken, the apparatus can respond by scheduling or ordering maintenance to repair the component so the failure can be identified quickly and resolved to try and avoid the chance that a user may attempt to utilize a nozzle with a non-functioning element and have a negative experience in use of a dispenser (e.g. fuel dispenser or electricity dispenser that can be considered a recharging station).

    摘要: A temporary fuel supply system for a vehicle that can temporarily circumvent the vehicle's inherent system. The temporary fuel supply system has a fuel input port for receiving fuel and a fuel output port for discharging fuel. The fuel supply system also includes at least one fuel storage container to store fuel, provide fresh fuel and/or store contaminated or old fuel. Inside the system, a pump, pressure regulator, and fuel filters are provided. A first three-way valve selectively connects the second three-way valve to either the fuel input port or to a fuel storage container. A second three-way valve selectively connects the pump to either the first three-way valve or to a fuel storage container. Depending upon how the valves are controlled, the fuel supply system can draw and transfer fuel in a variety or manner to achieve different purposes.

    摘要: An automated fueling assembly includes a refueling station that is positioned at a gas station for refueling gas burning vehicles. The refueling station includes a control panel that is movably integrated into the refueling station to facilitate a driver of a vehicle to access the control panel. The refueling station includes a robotic arm that is actuatable to extend into a refueling port in the vehicle for refueling the vehicle without requiring the driver to exit the vehicle. A pair of sensing units is each positioned on a driveway adjacent to the refueling station. Furthermore, the refueling station is turned on when each the sensing units senses the weight of the vehicle.
