International buyers often ask for a fuel dispenser price before defining the exact machine. A two-nozzle dispenser may differ from another two-nozzle model in product channels, pump configuration, flow meters, displays, communications and required approvals. A useful quotation must describe the equipment behind the price.
What affects the quotation?
Nozzles and products. State the number of fuel grades, nozzles and simultaneous fueling positions. Two nozzles do not automatically mean two independent pumps or meters.
Pump and meter arrangement. Identify whether the proposed system uses suction pumps or a submersible supply arrangement, and list the meter channels. Ask whether pumps, meters, hoses and nozzles are included.
Flow and power. Required delivery flow must match vehicle type and site hydraulics. Verify local voltage, phase and frequency; do not assume a 50 Hz design can be used on a 60 Hz supply without engineering approval.
Communication and controls. If the station uses POS, forecourt controllers or fleet management, specify the protocol and integration requirements. “RS-485 available” alone does not establish software compatibility.
Vapor recovery and approvals. Gasoline applications may require vapor recovery and jurisdiction-specific equipment approvals. Request the exact model, component certificates and local acceptance requirements.
Export scope. Packing, spare parts, manuals, testing, freight and warranty arrangements should be listed separately.
Example: how to read an S-series listing
HMZ’s published S Series Fuel Dispenser page has described flow-rate options of 55 ± 5 L/min or 85 ± 5 L/min, 0.75 kW motor options, AC 220 V/50 Hz or AC 380 V/50 Hz, and ±0.3% meter accuracy. These are manufacturer-published, series-specific page values, not independent test findings or guarantees for every available configuration. Ask for the current datasheet and applicable test records for the exact model quoted.

OIML R 117 concerns dynamic measuring systems for liquids other than water. Referencing the recommendation does not demonstrate that any particular dispenser has OIML certification.
FAQ
Why do two dispensers with the same nozzle count have different prices? Pump, meter, control, display, communication and approval scope may differ.
Does the quoted unit include a pump and meter? Only the itemized configuration can confirm that.
Can I order a 60 Hz dispenser? Request written confirmation of the exact 60 Hz configuration; the cited S-series page describes 50 Hz options.
Is RS-485 the same as POS compatibility? No. The protocol and integration requirements must be checked.
Is vapor recovery standard? Do not assume so. Specify the fuel, jurisdiction and required recovery arrangement.
