Abstract

Apparatus for two-way communication of information between a fluid container and a fluid delivery device. The fluid container has an associated first information storage and retrieval device and the fluid delivery device has an associated second information storage and retrieval device. Upon initiation of a fluid delivery transaction a communication link is established between the first and second information storage and retrieval devices and will proceed only if appropriate authorization is received by the second information storage and retrieval device. Information regarding the fuel delivery transaction may be stored on either or both of the storage and retrieval devices and may be communicated to another local or remote device for further processing.
