Abstract: A fuel dispenser is disclosed. The fuel dispenser has a housing which contains two chambers, one contains a computer and the other the hydraulic parts of the dispenser. Fiber optic cables connect a fiber optic switch which detects the cradling of a nozzle to a computer, and other fiber optic cables connected to a pulser signal the flow of fuel in the meter of the dispenser to the computer. The computer controls a liquid crystal display which prompts the customer to actuate keys on a keyboard adjacent to the display. A pivotal boot supported by a horizontal shaft receives the nozzle. This boot pivots to permit better access to the hydraulic area of the housing. The shaft, itself, is rotatable to actuate a switch to indicate, through fiber optic cable, to the computer that the nozzle is stored and to shut down pumping. A fiber optic pulser feeds light signals to the computer for indicating the flow of fuel through the meter.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus cleanses a portable keg tap for a keg of a beverage, such as beer. A keg tap coupling has an orifice which emulates a fluid outlet orifice of a keg. The keg tap coupling is connected to the inlet of a portable keg tap. A cleaning fluid coupling is disposed to connect to a cleaning fluid source, for example, a water spigot or water outlet from a water heater. A fluid regulator regulates the fluid pressure of the cleaning fluid flowing from the cleaning fluid source. A shut-off valve is used to selectively initiate and terminate the flow of cleaning fluid flowing from the cleaning fluid source. As a result, a portable keg tap can be efficiently cleaned and sanitized.
