Abstract
A fluid dispensing apparatus is provided and is configured to dispense two fluids to a vehicle. A rigid diesel spout delivers diesel, while a urea spout is slidably disposed on the diesel spout and configured to deliver urea to the vehicle. The urea spout includes a guide that cooperates with a rail on the diesel spout such that insertion of the diesel spout into the vehicle can slide the urea spout relative the diesel spout. A valve in the urea spout includes an area for receiving a projection member on the vehicle to open the urea spout when inserted into the vehicle. The vehicle correspondingly includes a diesel intake and a urea intake. A projection or pin is provided to cooperate with the dispensing apparatus to open the valve and allow urea to flow into the vehicle.
