A fueling system for an engine includes a fuel tank, a controller, a fuel nozzle receptacle connected to the fuel tank, the fuel nozzle receptacle including a receptacle sensor configured to send a signal to the contoller indicative of whether a fuel nozzle of a fuel dispenser is received in the fuel nozzle receptacle, and an electric fill slop valve between the fuel tank and the fuel nozzle receptacle, the electric fill stop valve being, configured to be controlled to open and close in response to a signal from the controller. The controller can be configured to receive at least one of (a) a signal whether a fuel nozzle of a fuel dispenser is received in a fuel nozzle receptacle connected to the fuel tank, and (b) a signal whether a fuel level of the fuel tank is full, and to control the electric fill stop valve to close when a signal is sent to the controller that at least one of (a) the fuel nozzle is not received in the fuel nozzle receptacle when the controller is configured to receive the signal whether the fuel nozzle of a fuel dispenser is received in the fuel nozzle receptacle, and (b) the fuel level of the fuel tank is full when the controller is configured to receive the signal whether the fuel level of the fuel tank is full.
