Please advise on available technology for automatic shut-off gasoline fueling nozzles for fueling industrial equipment that does not have a vapor recovery system from trucks that do not have vapor recovery systems. We are having an abundance of spillage during fueling and our fueling contractor is blaming the design of the tanks that are being fueled. He states that the nozzles will not work unless the tank is designed to work with auto-shut-off nozzles.
If this is true, what are the design characteristics required for correct shut-off?
