A remote authorization apparatus for full-serve, self-serve vehicle fuel dispensing pumps. A transmitter carried by a station attendant may be activated to cause the emission of a radio signal. This signal is sensed by a receiver which actuates an associated control assembly to enable the reset mechanism in the fuel pumps for a preset time interval during which a customer may begin dispensing fuel. When the timed enabling signal ends, the pump or pumps which have begun service may continue, while all other pumps are returned to an inactive state. Other pumps may be enabled in the same manner by emission of the radio signal from the transmitter should other customers desire to use the self-serve vehicle fuel pumps, while previously authorized pumps are dispensing.
