The customer who has come for refueling stops at the refueling area 3 by driving a car through the driveway 2 where the desired oil type is described on the guide display panel 5c of the refueling guide display device 5. When the operator of the gas station presses the push button switch 7d of the driving allowance display device 7 when the vehicle stops at the oil supply area 3, the display body 7c is horizontal from the runable position A in the vertical state. It moves by rotating to the non-driving position (B). In this way, the display 7C of the driving allowable display device 7 protrudes toward the exit path 4 to indicate that driving is impossible, so that the driver does not accidentally start the vehicle during oil supply. That is, since the display 7c is blocked in front of the driver enters the driver's view, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from starting.

When the desired oil supply nozzle 6d of the meter 6 is peeled off from the nozzle hanger 6f, and a nozzle peeling signal from the nozzle switch 6g is input to the controller 6h (FIG. 3, ST1), the controller ( 6h) returns the previous oil supply amount displayed on the oil supply amount indicator 6i to 0, outputs a drive signal to the pump 6b (FIG. 3, ST2), and the pump 6b is driven. Then, when the oil supply nozzle 6d is inserted into the oil supply port of the vehicle and the oil supply nozzle 6d is opened to start oil supply, the flow rate signal is inputted from the flow meter 6c to the control unit 6h (FIG. 3, ST3), The oil supply amount calculated by the flow rate signal is displayed on the oil supply amount indicator 6i, the oil supply signal is output to the outdoor oil supply status indicator 9, and the counter described later is reset (FIG. 3, ST4).

The control part 9c of the outdoor refueling state indicator 9 which received the signal of refueling lights up the indicator 9c of the corresponding meter 6.

In this way, when the oil supply proceeds, the fuel tank of the vehicle is almost full, and the oil supply is stopped by the liquid level detection and the input of the flow signal is stopped (FIG. 3, ST3), a counter for counting the oil supply stop time is set ( 3, ST5). If the fueling stop time is longer than a predetermined time, for example, 3 seconds or more, the counter is counted up (FIG. 3, ST6), and the controller 6h of the meter 6 outputs the fueling stop signal to the outdoor fueling state indicator 9 (FIG. 3, ST7). The control unit 9e of the outdoor refueling state indicator 9 that has received the refueling stop signal flashes the indicator 9c and sounds the notifier 9d.

In this way, the indicator 9c of the outdoor refueling state indicator 9 changes from lighting to flashing and the notifier 9d rings so that the stop of refueling can be accurately known even if the worker of the refueling station is performing other work while refueling. The worker who has noticed the stop of oil supply by this notification opens the valve of the oil supply nozzle 6d again, and makes additional oil supply until it becomes a full tank.

When the valve of the oil supply nozzle 6d is opened, the flow signal is input again (FIG. 3, ST3), and the oil supply signal is output to the outdoor oil supply status indicator 9 to reset the counter counting the oil supply stop time (FIG. 3). , ST4). And the indicator 9c of the outdoor refueling state indicator 9 which received the refueling signal turns on again.

In this way, when the fuel tank of the vehicle is made into a tank and the oil supply nozzle 6d is connected to the nozzle hanger 6f, and the nozzle hanger signal is input from the nozzle switch 6g (FIG. 3, ST8), the control unit 6h receives the pump ( The drive signal to 6b) is extinguished, and the fueling end signal is output to the outdoor oil supply state indicator 9 and the run / fail display device 7 (FIG. 3, ST9). Then, the indicator 9c of the outdoor refueling state indicator 9 which has received the refueling stop signal turns off, and the run-and-stop display device 7 having received the refueling stop signal runs the display 9c from the non-driving position B. It moves to the possible position (A).

After the display body 7c of the driving allowance display device 7 moves from the non-traveling position B to the travelable position A, the vehicle is driven from the oil supply area 3 to the exit path 4, It will be released.
