Method and apparatus for metering and dispensing fluid, particulary fuel

An apparatus for dispensing fuel comprising:

• a plurality of fluid sources;
• at least one fuel discharge nozzle;
• a meter, each of said plurality of fuel sources being in fluid communication with said meter and said at least one fuel discharge nozzle being in fluid communication with said meter, said meter measuring the amount of fuel discharged through said at least one fuel discharging nozzle;
• a plurality of valves, said plurality of valves controlling a flow of fuel from said plurality of fuel sources to said at least one fuel discharge nozzle;
• and
• a controlling device, said controlling device controlling said plurality of valves whereby said flow of fuel comprises flow from only one of said plurality of fuel sources and to only said at least one fuel discharge nozzle.

A method for dispensing fuel comprising the steps of:

• providing a plurality of fuel sources;
• providing at least one fuel discharge nozzle;
• extracting fuel from said plurality of fuel sources;
• passing all fuel extracted from each of said plurality of sources through a single meter;
• and
• dispensing fuel passed through said meter from said at least one fuel discharge nozzle.

An apparatus for dispensing fluids comprising:

• a plurality of fluid sources;
• a plurality of fluid outlets, each of said plurality of fluid outlets discharging fluid from only one of said fluid sources;
• a meter, each of said plurality of fluid sources being in fluid communication with said meter, said meter measuring the amount of fluid discharged through said plurality of fluid outlets;
• and
• a plurality of valves, said plurality of valves controlling a flow of fluid from said plurality of fluid sources through said meter to said fluid outlets.

An apparatus for dispensing fuel comprising:

• a plurality of fluid sources;
• a plurality of fuel discharge nozzles, each of said plurality of fuel discharge nozzles discharging fuel from only one of said fuel sources;
• a meter, each of said plurality of fuel sources being in fluid communication with said meter and said plurality of fuel discharge nozzles being in fluid communication with said meter, said meter measuring the amount of fuel discharged through said plurality of fuel discharging nozzles;
• and
• a plurality of valves, said plurality of valves controlling a flow of fuel from said plurality of fuel sources to said plurality of fuel discharge nozzles.

A method for dispensing fuel comprising the steps of:

• providing a plurality of fuel sources;
• providing at least one fuel discharge nozzle and at least one second fuel discharge nozzle;
• providing a housing unit;
• locating said at least one fuel discharge nozzle on a first side of said housing unit and locating said at least one second fuel discharge nozzle on a second side of said housing unit;
• extracting fuel from said plurality of fuel sources;
• passing all fuel extracted from each of said plurality of sources through either a first meter or a second meter;
• and
• dispensing fuel passed through said first meter from said at least one fuel discharge nozzle and dispensing all fuel passed through said second meter from said at least one second fuel discharge nozzle.

A method for dispensing fuel comprising the steps of:

• providing a plurality of fuel sources;
• providing a plurality of fuel discharge nozzles, each of said plurality of fuel discharge nozzles discharging fuel from only one of said fuel sources;
• extracting fuel from said plurality of fuel sources;
• controlling a flow, of fuel from said fuel sources such that fuel extracted from one of said fuel sources is dispensed at only one of said fuel discharge nozzles;
• passing fuel extracted from each of said plurality of sources through a single meter;
• and
• dispensing fuel passed through said meter from said at least one fuel discharge nozzle.
