The hose is adapted to extend through the vehicle's filler pipe to the bottom of the tank. The pump has a liquid discharge conduit for connection to a fuel storage tank. A fuel meter is provided that is adapted to measuring the quantity of liquid being discharged by the pump into the discharge conduit. The hose may include a shutoff valve, which may be an automatic shutoff valve of the type used at gasoline stations.
