In particular, the present invention relates to a fueling device that can illuminate the setting device even at night, and can easily perform preset fueling.

[Prior art]

In general, for fixed oil supply equipment, the amount of oil supplied,
It is known that a setting device is provided on an outer panel such as a side panel or a front panel of the housing so that the amount of refueling and the like can be set and calculated at the work site. The setting device is generally composed of a numeric keypad for input and a display panel such as a liquid crystal display panel for displaying the amount set by the numeric keypad.

When performing preset refueling using such a refueling device, enter the amount of refueling using the numeric keypad provided with the setting device, and then supply oil such as gasoline to the set amount from the refueling nozzle to the vehicle's fuel tank. After refueling the desired amount, the refueling operation can be automatically stopped.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, the setting device is fixedly installed on the side or front external panel of the housing at a location away from the liquid type display plate of the oil supply device, and the display panel of the setting device is Since it is formed by a liquid crystal display panel, etc., it may be difficult to see the display panel, numeric keypad, etc. of the setting device during nighttime refueling work, etc., and there is a problem that setting operations on the setting device become difficult. be.

Furthermore, since the setting device is exposed on the surface of the outer panel, there is a problem in that rainwater, dust, etc. are likely to adhere to the setting device.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.The present invention can illuminate the setting device using a light source inside the housing, making it possible to easily perform setting operations even when refueling at night. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an oil supply device that can prevent rainwater or the like from adhering to the setting device.

[Means for solving problems]
