  • Co-fueling nozzle with dual spouts
    Patent number: 10926997
    Abstract: A co-fueling nozzle incorporating dual spouts, having a nozzle housing, a pair of fuel flow paths provided through the housing, a separate poppet and automatic shut off valve operatively associated with each flow path, such that when fuel or additive flows through the various flow paths, it is dispensed out of separate nozzle spouts, when fuel dispensing is initiated. A single actuating lever operates to open or close the poppet valves of the nozzle, and the actuating lever connects with a pair of independent actuators, that engage with their respective poppet valves and automatic shut off valves, to provide for simultaneous or independent opening and closing of the poppet valves, to allow for simultaneous or separate flow of fuel or additives through the nozzle for co-fueling of a vehicle fuel tank or tanks.
