Apparatus For Capturing Fuel Spillage And Nozzle Drip During Refueling Of A Vehicle
US Patent:
8371346, Feb 12, 2013
Filed:
Aug 9, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/806268
Inventors:
Robert W. Schmidt - Vero Beach FL, US
International Classification:
B65B 1/04
US Classification:
141350, 141301, 220 862
Abstract:
A refueling nozzle is inserted into a fuel filler tube of the vehicle, refueling is carried out in the normal manner. However, during retraction of the nozzle, when the nozzle is prone to drip, a specially designed valve is caused to open and a vacuum canister draws in a rush of air and captures the dripping gas. During normal vehicle operation, the captured fuel in the vacuum canister is drawn into the engine intake manifold to be burned through the engine and the vacuum in the canister is replenished for the next refueling stop.
