A fuel dispensing nozzle 1, incorporating a poppet valve gasket 22 of truncated shape enhances the flow of fuel through the nozzle when actuated. A handle lever 5 for the nozzle, which is designed having an elongated and enlarged end, includes elongated slots 40 that are pivotally pinned through both the latch plate 19 and the handle link 28 in order to reduce the space between the interconnection between the front of the latch plate to the bottom of the automatic shutoff stem 17, such that by lessening the distance between these components, thereby reducing the fulcrum point for the calculation of the force necessary to open the nozzle by raising its handle lever, and reduces the force necessary to achieve nozzle opening and actuation, to less than 3,4 kPa pressure during usage and application. |
