  • Automatic truck tank fill system
    Patent number: 9850119
    Abstract: An automatic truck tank fill system includes a conduit in fluid communication with a fluid supply source. An electrically controlled valve is in fluid communication with the conduit. A fill spout is in fluid communication with the conduit, the fill spout including an outer chamber. A controller is in electrical communication with the valve. A first signal opens the valve from a closed position permitting fluid flow through the conduit, and a second signal causes the valve to close, preventing fluid to flow through the conduit. A tubing is in fluid communication with the fill spout. A pressure transducer is in fluid communication with the tubing, and the controller is in electrical communication with the pressure transducer. When a pressure in the tube reaches or exceeds an activation pressure (P1), the controller sends a signal to close the valve in the conduit.
