Abstract
A gasoline pump apparatus comprises one or more pump nozzles, a sensor configured to detect nozzle removal from and replacement to a nozzle storage bay, and a first housing enclosing at least some gas dispensing apparatus. In addition, a second housing encloses at least one video display and at least one video display controller. The at least one video display controller is coupled to the sensor such that the video display output changes with changes in nozzle position. In some embodiments, the second housing is configured to be explosion proof.
