1. A multi-function nozzle assembly for a refueling and exhaust capture system, the assembly comprising:
an exhaust nozzle to engage with an exhaust port of a vehicle;
a fuel nozzle to dispense a flow of fuel into a fuel tank of the vehicle, the fuel nozzle located at least partially within and at least partially surrounded by portions of the exhaust nozzle, the fuel nozzle including one or more sealing features, thereby to engage cooperatively with one or more corresponding sealing features of a fuel inlet port of the vehicle when positioned adjacent thereto;
a fuel intake line extending along the exhaust passage and connected to the fuel nozzle; and
at least one sensor positioned proximate the fuel nozzle and configured to monitor the flow of fuel passing through the fuel nozzle and provide a signal to a fuel dispenser when associated with the multi-function nozzle assembly, thereby to indicate a volume of fuel being dispensed into the fuel tank of the vehicle.
