ABSTRACT:
A computer controlled bulk storage fluid dispensing terminal for dispensing fluid, such as flammable fuels, to customer vehicles from a plurality of adjacent loading stations without the requirement of a full time attendant. A multiple digit input data entry terminal is positioned at each of the stations and is electrically connected to a central computer for coded customer identification data entry into the computer by hand manipulation by the driver of the multiple digit input. When the customer has been recognized by the computer as authorized, an indication is given that he may proceed to fill the vehicle. The computer regulates the allocation of quantity and type of fluid to be dispensed to the particular customer, monitoring the entire dispensing operation. The computer prints out fluid dispensing information on a teletype or any other type of line printer. The computer is confined within a secured area and provided with a coded multiple digit input limited access whereby the data with which the computer program works may be changed, but the program itself will not be altered by attendants unskilled in the computer arts. The entire fluid dispensing terminal may also be surrounded by a security fence having a gate access. A multiple digit input data entry terminal is provided at the gate whereby the driver, by hand selection of the multiple digit input, can enter a coded identification for recognition by the computer and subsequent access through the gate.
