Abstract: A fitting assembly and method for attaching to a fluid flow conduit in which a clamp having a threaded port is secured around the conduit. A threaded bushing is inserted into the threaded port and has an axial bore that guides and supports a tool which is inserted through the bore to pierce the corresponding surface of the conduit. After the tool and the bushing are removed from the threaded port, an external component, such as a sensing unit, can be connected to the port to permit access to the fluid for sensing a flow characteristic of the fluid, or the like.

Abstract: A system and method for recovering a gasoline vapor/air mixture from a vehicle tank during the dispensing of gasoline from a storage tank into the vehicle tank in which the mixture flows from the vehicle tank to the storage tank during the dispensing of the gasoline. A sensor is provided which detects a property of the mixture which corresponds to the vapor content of the mixture. The flow of the mixture is controlled in response to the vapor content of the mixture.

Abstract: A gasoline vapor recovery system and method in which a mixture of air and gasoline vapor is passed from a vehicle tank to a storage tank during the dispensing of gasoline from the storage tank to the vehicle tank. A portion of the mixture of air and gasoline vapor is vented from the storage tank, the flow and/or the vapor concentration of the vented mixture from the storage tank are determined, and the mixture flow from the vehicle tank is varied accordingly.
