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 filler neck. The pump is activated by the user, allowing fuel to flow through a hose and into the vehicle. The fuel dispensing system includes various components, such as flow meters to measure the amount of fuel dispensed and safety features to prevent spills and overfilling. Proper maintenance of these systems is essential to ensure safe and efficient operation, protecting both the environment and consumers.
