Abstract
An improved fuel dispenser actuator includes a flap in a nozzle support such that the nozzle engages the flap when the nozzle is put into the dispenser housing and not in use. The resulting movement of the flap moves a magnet on the flap out of proximity to a reed switch, thereby opening a circuit and disabling the dispensing of fuel.
