1. Filling nozzle for dispensing a fluid, comprising:
an inlet opening (5) for connection to a fluid feed line,
an outlet end (12) situated opposite the inlet opening,
a main valve for controlling the fluid flow through the filling nozzle, wherein the filling nozzle furthermore has a sensor line (24) which extends as far as the outlet end (12) and which is operatively connected to an automatic deactivation device,
wherein the filling nozzle creates a vacuum in the sensor line (24) during the dispensing of the fluid such that a gas stream is sucked in via an end region (25) of the sensor line (24),
wherein a sensor line valve (26) is positioned in the end region (25) and is movable to close off the sensor line (24); and
wherein the sensor line valve moves into an open position by means of the gas stream sucked in through the sensor line (24).
