Fueling system and method of fueling

A fueling system for an engine, comprising:

• a fuel tank:
• a fuel nozzle receptacle connected to the fuel tank;
• a controller;
• an electric fill stop valve disposed between the fuel nozzle receptacle and the fuel tank, the electric fill stop valve being configured to be controlled to open and close in response to a signal from the controller,
• wherein the controller is configured to receive at least one of (a) a signal whether a fuel nozzle of a fuel dispenser is received in the fuel nozzle receptacle, and (b) a signal whether a fuel level of the fuel tank is full, and to control the electric fill stop valve to close when a signal is sent to the controller that at least one of (a) the fuel nozzle is not received in the fuel nozzle receptacle when the controller is configured to receive the signal whether the fuel nozzle of a fuel dispenser is received in the fuel nozzle receptacle, and (b) the fuel level of the fuel tank is full when the controller is configured to receive the signal whether the fuel level of the fuel tank is full, wherein the controller is configured to control the electric fill stop valve to open when at least one condition is satisfied, and wherein a condition of the at least one condition is satisfied when the controller receives a signal that the fuel nozzle is received in the fuel nozzle receptacle.

A method for fueling a pressurized feet fueling system for an engine, the fueling system comprising a fuel tank, a fuel nozzle receptacle connected to the fuel tank, a controller, and an electric fill stop valve disposed between the fuel nozzle receptacle and the fuel tank, the electric fill stop valve being configured to be controlled to open and close in response to a signal from the controller, comprising

• sending a close signal to the controller when at least one of
• a fuel nozzle is not received in the fuel nozzle receptacle, and
• a fuel level in the fuel tank is full;
• and
• controlling, via the controller, the electric fill stop valve to close when the close signal is sent to the controller;
• and
• controlling, via the controller, a locking mechanism on the fuel nozzle receptacle, to permit the fuel nozzle to be received in the fuel nozzle receptacle when the engine and non-fill related functions are “off” and fill related functions of the fueling system are “on” and to prevent the fuel nozzle from being received in the fuel nozzle receptacle when the engine and non-fill related functions are “oft” and fill related functions of the fueling system are off.
