Abstract

La présente invention porte sur un dispositif de commande (17) et sur un procédé pour une pompe (1) à essence pour transférer du carburant d'un moyen de stockage de carburant (9), relié à la pompe (1) à un réservoir de carburant (11) qui est mobile par rapport à la pompe (1), le dispositif de commande (17) étant relié à un détecteur (13, 15) qui est agencé pour détecter quel type de carburant (H') se trouve dans le réservoir de carburant (11), ou étant relié à un détecteur pour détecter un code (15') associé au réservoir de carburant indiquant le type de carburant pour lequel le réservoir de carburant (11) est destiné, et qui est agencé pour générer, lors de la comparaison du carburant détecté (H') ou du code détecté (15') avec des données fournies à l'avance, un signal vers le dispositif de commande (17) de la pompe à carburant (1) de manière à activer ou à désactiver le transfert de carburant du moyen de stockage de carburant (9) en question vers le réservoir de carburant (11) par la pompe.
