  • Publication number: 20090315729
    Abstract: The methods and system of the present invention provide for a means of preventing the introduction of incorrect fuel type into an engine. Data is transmitted wirelessly from a fuel storage apparatus to at least one receiver. In part, the selected data comprises the type of fuel that is required to be introduced into the fuel storage apparatus. Data is also transmitted wirelessly from a fuel dispensing apparatus to the receiver. In this case, the data comprises, in part, the type of fuel present in the fuel dispensing apparatus. The receiver determines whether the type of fuel required to be introduced into the fuel storage apparatus corresponds to the type of fuel present in the fuel dispensing apparatus. If the two types of fuel correspond, i.e., match, fuel is dispensed from the fuel dispensing apparatus into the fuel storage apparatus. If the two types of fuel do not match, the fuel dispensing apparatus is not activated.
