Abstract

A fuel dispenser for delivering fuel along a fuel delivery path, a flow rate modulator in the fuel delivery path and a control system operatively associated with the flow rate modulator for regulating the rate of flow in the fuel delivery path during a fueling operation to achieve a flow-rate-dependent result. The precision fuel dispenser may further include a flow transducer in the fuel delivery path configured to provide a flow transducer signal representing a volume of fuel flow in the fuel delivery path to the control system.
