Abstract:
A fuel tank includes a first fuel chamber for receiving liquid fuel; a communication chamber communicated with the first fuel chamber and having a bottom higher than a bottom of the first fuel chamber; and a second fuel chamber communicated with the communication chamber, the second fuel chamber having a bottom lower than the bottom of the communication chamber. The fuel tank also includes a sleeve member having a lower end opening toward the bottom of the communication chamber, and configured so that fuel evaporative emissions are discharged while liquid fuel is supplied to the first fuel chamber. The first fuel chamber, the communication chamber, and the second fuel chamber are all molded integrally by resin blow molding. The communication chamber is provided with a protrusion which is convex when viewed from inside the communication chamber, and a depression which is concave when viewed from outside of the communication chamber.
Abstract:
A fuel tank system for gasoline or flexible gasoline/ethanol powered vehicles that use independently controlled direct ethanol injection to provide a large on-demand octane boost is disclosed. The on-demand octane boost is used when needed to prevent knock. The ethanol can be in the form of 100% ethanol or E85 (a 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline mixture) and is stored in a second tank that is separate from the tank that which contains the primary fuel. The primary fuel can be gasoline, E85, ethanol or a mix of these fuels. The fuel tank system enables convenient, quick, flexible and minimal cost refueling of the separate fuel tank. A range of fueling options is available to provide the driver with the maximum freedom to choose fuels depending upon price and availability. Valves may be utilized to direct the flow in fuel to the various tanks.
Abstract:
A fuel filling system is disclosed for dispensing two fluids to a vehicle, which ensures that a reductant tank is filled during dispensing of fuel.
Abstract:
The fuel gas system (100) for a vehicle (1) comprises: —a filling device (50) having an outlet pipe (56); —a first circuit (11) for providing fuel gas to an engine (8) of the vehicle, and including: —a first tank (12); —a first supply line (13) connecting the first tank (12) and the engine (8); —a first filling pipe (14) connecting the filling device outlet pipe to the first tank (12); —a second circuit (21) for providing fuel gas to a thermic device (9) capable of heating, cooling or refrigerating, the second circuit (21) including: —a second tank (22); —a second supply line (23) connecting the second tank (22) to the thermic device (9); —a second filling pipe (24) connecting the filling device outlet pipe (56) to the second tank (22). The first circuit (11) and the second circuit (21) are configured to be in fluid communication: —in a filling phase, when fuel gas flows in the first and second filling pipes (14, 24) from the filling device (50) towards the first and second tanks (12, 22); —and in a working phase, when fuel gas flows in the first and second supply lines (13, 23) from the first and second tanks (12, 22).
Abstract:
This invention is a sensor probe, generally used in the oil fracking business, and includes structurally a pair of tube members, concentrically assembled, an inner housing tube, and an outer spout tube, affixed to a cap and adaptor, with the inner housing holding one or more sensors, to detect the level of fuel within the fuel tank of the fracking truck. The adaptor has a first aperture for attachment of the fuel line, for delivery of fuel in the space between the tube members, and the adaptor has a second aperture for connection of an electrical receptacle, for attachment with the electric lines leading from the various sensors, to the adaptor, for connection with a circuit line from a remote monitor.
Abstract:
A variable inlet device for a vehicle includes a first pipe and a second pipe arranged in parallel to each other, and a variable injection pipe configured to allow an exit thereof to be selectively connected to an entrance of the first pipe or an entrance of the second pipe by a rotation movement and a back and forth movement.
Abstract:
A vehicle (3) equipped with gas tanks (30a, 30b) has a common channel (34c) and branch channels (34a, 34b) that branch from the common channel (34c) to the gas tanks (30a, 30b), as a filling passageway (34) through which gas is supplied from an external gas station (2) to the gas tanks (30a, 30b). The gas tank (30a) is better in heat dissipation characteristic than the gas tank (30b). Only the branch channel (34a) that corresponds to the gas tank (30a) is provided with a shutoff valve (40) or a flow regulation valve (46) that is capable of restricting the amount of gas supplied to the gas tank (30a).
Abstract:
Methods and systems for selectively fuelling a vehicle are provided. One example method of fuelling a vehicle may include receiving a fuel in a fuel reservoir in the vehicle, and directing the fuel to one of a plurality of storage tanks based on a fuel type. In one example, the directing of fuel may include adjusting one or more fuelling valves positioned between the fuel reservoir and the plurality of storage tanks to vary a direction of fuel flow to the plurality of storage tanks.
Abstract:
There is provided an inlet pipe structure which does not require a liquid-level monitoring device or the like. A fuel tank (10) is formed by a main tank (12) and a sub-tank (14). A branch body (28) is connected to a fueling port (26) and an end (24A) of a fueling gun (24) can be selectively inserted into branch openings (32, 33) of the branch body (28). A connecting portion (34A) of the sub-breather tube (34) is fixed inclining toward the main tank (12) to a main tank inlet pipe (16) connected to a branch opening (32) of the branch body (28) at a position near an end portion (16B) of the main tank inlet pipe (16). Further, a connecting portion (36A) of a main breather tube (36) is fixed inclining toward the sub-tank (14) to a sub-tank inlet pipe (20) connected to a branch opening (33) of the branch body (28) at a position near an end portion (20B) of the sub-tank inlet pipe (20).
