This is a great video describing the automated system that Costco designed and currently use to deliver their Kirkland Signature Clean Power top-tier gasoline.

Inquisitive minds want to know. :D

Wow so there is a Costco University! :)

"At their own Costco University, gas station employees are trained on emergency procedures, customer service and pump operations. They assist with spill cleanup, maintain tanks and filters, assist in safe fuel tanker deliveries and generally make sure everything runs smoothly so members can get in and out quickly. "Our highly qualified attendants manage the additives at each of our stations, during each and every fuel delivery," says Tim.
While Kirkland Signature is the cornerstone of Costco's excellent quality fuel, there is another aspect of fuel quality that does not garner the same attention, but is actually of equal importance, Tim adds. That element is good station maintenance. "Our highly capable attendants understand the sophisticated environmental monitoring systems built into every Costco station, keeping us in good stead with local, state and federal regulators, and keeping the gas station true to the first element of our company mission statement: Obey the law," he says.
This entails taking frequent tank samples, and, most important, regularly timing the nozzle flow rates. A fast fuel flow gets members in and out quicker, but it also shows that the fuel filters are fresh, Tim explains. A slow nozzle flow rate means the pump filter is becoming clogged and may not be as effective. (The maximum retail gas flow allowed by law is 10 gallons per minute.)"
