Claim 10:
11. A method of dispensing hydrogen gas to a fuel tank of a vehicle during a fueling event via a valve bank comprising a plurality of fixed-size orifice valves arranged in parallel, the method comprising:
receiving hydrogen gas from a hydrogen gas supply;
receiving as a first input:
a supply pressure of hydrogen from the hydrogen gas supply; and
a measured pressure downstream of the valve bank and/or a tank pressure of hydrogen gas in the fuel tank of the vehicle;

selectively opening and/or closing at least one of the plurality of fixed-size orifice valves that results in a target pressure and/or target flow rate at which it is desired to provide hydrogen gas to the fuel tank based at least in part on the first input; and
opening a first fixed-sized orifice valve positioned between the valve bank and a first nozzle configured to engage with a fuel tank of a first type of vehicle to allow hydrogen gas passing through the valve bank to be dispensed to the fuel tank of the vehicle via the first nozzle, or
opening a second fixed-sized orifice valve positioned between the valve bank and a second nozzle configured to engage with a fuel tank of a second type of vehicle to allow hydrogen gas passing through the valve bank to be dispensed to the fuel tank of the vehicle via the second nozzle.
