Fuel dispensing is the process of delivering fuel, such as gasoline or diesel, from a storage tank to a vehicle's fuel tank. This is typically done at a gas station using a fuel pump, which is equipped with a nozzle that fits into the vehicle's fuel inlet. The pump is activated by the user, allowing fuel to flow through a hose and into the vehicle. The fuel dispensing system is designed to measure the amount of fuel being dispensed accurately. It often includes safety features to prevent spills and overflows. Additionally, many modern fuel pumps accept various payment methods, making the process convenient for customers.
