    Please edit your post and wrap the code in code tags to preserve its formatting.

    Do you have a problem or question about your code?
    Please post it.

    You need to either edit your post and wrap code tags around the code
    or post a new version of your code with code tags.
    See: BB Code List - Java Programming Forums - The Java Community

    Check that the variables you are reading the data into are the same ones you are using when you print. It looks like there could be two different variables, one that gets the data and one that does not get any data.

    Where is the definition of the FuelDispenser class?
