Abstract

Liquid flow through an automatic shut-off nozzle is automatically stopped when the presence of liquid at a predetermined location in the vapor return means is sensed by an independent sensor arrangement. The automatic shut-off nozzle also stops flow in response to the tank being filled to a predetermined level with liquid or the pressure in the tank exceeding a predetermined pressure.
