A fluid transfer coupler comprises engagement means, such as a frusto-conical flange 16, for releasable engagement with a complementarily shaped fitting and retaining means 18 configured to releasably retain the complementarily shaped fitting. It also has a valve seat 24, valve closure means 22 releasably engagable with the valve seat and a crank member (32, Fig.2b). It also has means such as a handle (36, Fig.2b) for rotatably displacing the crank member around its rotational axis and a connecting member 26 pivotally connected to the crank member and connected to the valve closure means 22. The crank member is mounted on separate first end second coaxial spindle members 34, 60 which define the rotational axis of the crank member. The coupler may be a refueling coupler for transferring fuel from a storage tank to a road tanker.
