Abstract
A fluid dispensing nozzle which is connectable to a fluid reservoir for filling a tank with fuel. The nozzle is provided with a through-flow channel in fluid communication with a spout and with a trigger for operating at least one valve in the through-flow channel for opening and/or closing the through-flow channel. The spout is provided with an output end for delivering fuel and the fuel dispensing nozzle further comprises: an end valve which is movable between an open situation, wherein the end valve opens a through-flow opening for the fuel in the spout, and a closed situation wherein the end valve closes the spout; and a venturi for co-action with level detection means for detecting the fluid level in the tank. The end valve and the venturi are substantially arranged in the downstream end of the spout.
