Abstract

A fuel dispensing unit has a structure providing a plurality of dispensing hoses on each of two sides for dispensing one or more kinds of fuel. The unit has a closed cabinet in its lower portion containing the fuel handling equipment and a pair of vertical hollow end standards, one on each of the opposite ends of the cabinet. A trough interconnects the tops of the standards leaving an open space between the trough and cabinet in which a display unit is mounted to display information on price, volume, etc. All fuel handling equipment is confined to the cabinet, one end standard and the trough. All electrical and microprocessor facilities are confined to the other standard and are sealed from the cabinet, trough and the one end standard.
