Abstract
A flow rate limiting device (24) for a dispensing nozzle (10) having an inlet (12) through which fuel is supplied to the nozzle (10) from a supply hose, an outlet (18) from which fuel is discharged, and an internal flow passage (14) along which fuel flows from the inlet (12) to the outlet (18). The flow rate limiting device (24) comprises turbulence generating means (26) mounted in the nozzle (10) within the internal flow passage (14) for generating a turbulence in the fuel flow, whereby such turbulence decelerates the flow of fuel through the passage (14).
