A fuel dispensing system is a machine that dispenses fuel, such as gasoline or diesel, into the fuel tank of a vehicle. It typically consists of a pump, meter, hose, and nozzle that are connected to a fuel storage tank. The pump moves the fuel from the tank to the nozzle where the driver of the vehicle inserts the nozzle into the vehicle's fuel tank and operates the pump to dispense the fuel. The meter measures the amount of fuel dispensed and calculates the cost based on the price per gallon or liter.
