<p>Filling units (205) for supplying small tanks (211) or the like with gasoline, kerosene, or other flowable materials, which attach to an inlet to such a tank (211). When the filling unit (205) is in a fill position, a displacer section (217) occupies a substantial volume within the region of the tank (211). This allows the person filling the tank to supply liquid until the tank will accept no more and the liquid reaches a predetermined level (265) in a funnel portion (219) of the filler (205). Thereafter, manipulation of the unit, as for example by upwardly withdrawing a section (215) of the overall unit (205) or opening a valve (247), causes all the liquid remaining in the funnel (219) up to such predetermined level (265) to be accomodated with the tank (211) by occupying the volume previously occupied by or within the displacer section (217) and thereby completing the filling of the tank to a full condition without any spillage.</p> |
