Pump Nozzles With Automatic Shut-Off

Pump Nozzles With Automatic Shut-Off FARM SHOP Miscellaneous 2-3-16 How would you like to have automatic nozzles on your gas or diesel pumps like the filling stations use - the self-tending kind that shut off automatically when the tank is full? FARM SHOW has tracked down a supplier that sells its automatic shut-off nozzles to filling stations, farmers, ranchers and anyone else who wants to buy them. "They're completely weatherproof and can be used on an outside, unprotected pump or tank year around," explains Bob Hill, of Fhemco, headquartered in Tulare, Ca. For gas or diesel pumps that pump from an underground storage tank, Fhemco offers model OTW-1A. It sells for $53.40. For overhead gravity flow fuel storage tanks, Fhemco offers model 405. It sells for $27.00. The price of both models includes shipping. Both models connect to 1 in. hose or, with a bushing, to 314 in. hose. They come equipped with a long, 7 in. neck which reaches down into the tank to avoid spillback, explains Hill. The on-off valve has a fast and slow setting. The "slow" notch allows small tanks to be filled without fuel backing up to keep shutting off the nozzle before the tank is full. Hill also notes that the built-in automatic feature doesn't restrict flow of the nozzles. "They have as much capacity as comparable size nozzles without the automatic shut-off feature," he points out. For more details, contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Fhemco, do Bob Hill, 1054 North J. St., Box 88, Tulare, Ca. 93274 (ph. 209-688-2977).
