Abstract

An unmanned, self-sustained fuel dispensing station and system that provides for the retail or commercial sale of fuels in geographically remote locations. The station can be independent of public power and communication utilities and can operate by remote control without an on-site attendant. The preferred system has a central command center with a control computer in communication with a station control computer located at one or more satellite stations through a communications link. The station control computer can be controlled remotely by the command center. The station control computer programming has control over the activities of the station through an electrical generation subsystem with a solar array, battery bank, battery charger and standby generator; a retail transaction subsystem; a fuel dispensing subsystem; a security subsystem with video cameras; a communications link and a status sensor subsystem.
