Fuel pumps are equipped with automatic shut-off mechanisms in the nozzle to prevent overfilling. When the fuel level in the tank reaches the nozzle tip, the change in airflow triggers the valve to stop the flow.
This feature prevents spills, reduces fire hazards, and ensures customer safety. It also minimizes fuel wastage, which benefits both customers and station operators.
Automatic shut-off has become a standard feature across pumps worldwide. Its presence reinforces confidence in the fueling process by guaranteeing a safe and controlled stop to every transaction.
