Abstract:
A tank system which prevents problems caused by electrostatic charging during a fueling sequence. The tank system includes a filling pipe, a filling hose which leads to a fuel tank, and a support sleeve, composed of an electrically conductive plastic material, in abutment with the filling pipe and the filling hose to thereby connect the filling pipe to the filling hose in an electrically conductive manner.
Abstract:
A structure for a fuel lid section has a fuel lid supported on a vehicle body via a hinge, a vehicle body recess openably covered by the fuel lid, a fuel filling opening placed in the vehicle body recess, and a cap-less mechanism provided at the fuel filling opening and enabling fuel filling operation without requiring attachment/detachment of a fuel cap. The structure also has an electricity conduction path extending from the fuel lid to the vehicle body.
Abstract:
A tank cap includes: a synthetic-resin cap body (20) mounted on a fuel supply port cylinder (18) of a conductive fuel tank, (T); a conductive cap shell (22) coupled to an upper part of the cap body (20); and a gasket (23) provided in the cap body (20) and in close contact with a sealing surface (18a) of the fuel supply port cylinder (18). The cap body (20) and the cap shell (22) are linked to be mutually rotatable. A ratchet mechanism (35) is mounted between the cap shell (22) and the cap body (20). An elastic contact piece (38) elastically and slidably contacting an inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical peripheral wall (22a) of the cap shell (22) is integrally projectingly provided on an outer periphery of the gasket (23). Thus, it is possible to cause static electricity carried by an operator to escape to a fuel tank through the gasket.
Abstract:
A flange structure (10′) for a fuel supply unit of a vehicle includes at least one electrically conductive fuel port (16′) having first and second ends (22, 24) and features (25, 26) defining a channel (28) about a periphery thereof. An elastomer seal (30) is disposed in the channel. A plastic flange (20′) is overmolded on at least a portion of the fuel port between the first and second ends and on at least a portion of the elastomer seal, with the elastomer seal defining a barrier preventing fuel or fuel vapor from passing between the periphery of the fuel port and the overmolded flange.
Abstract:
When fueling ones car the Gas Lee Holder is taken either from the inside of the fuel door, by use of magnetic force, or from the wallet, depending on which of the two available Gas Lee Holders one is using. The Gas Lee Holder is then placed between the lever and the inner handle of the gas pump. The Gas Lee Holder is held in place by its rubber stoppers placed on either end where the contact points are located. In doing so the lever is held in the on position until one is done fueling ones tank. The Gas Lee Holder is then stored again either on the inside of the fuel door using the magnet, or the inside the wallet.
Abstract translation:当燃料加油车辆时,Gas Lee Holder从燃油门内部,使用磁力或从钱包中取出,取决于所使用的两个可用气体持有人中的哪一个。 然后将Gas Lee Holder放在杠杆和气泵的内手柄之间。 气体持有人通过放置在接触点所在的任一端的橡胶塞固定在适当位置。 在这样做时,杠杆被保持在打开的位置,直到完成加油一个油箱。 然后,将气体储存器再次存放在燃料门的内侧,使用磁铁或钱包内部。
Abstract:
A filler neck closure assembly is provided for a fuel tank filler neck. The closure assembly is configured to receive a fuel-dispensing pump nozzle and to regulate discharge of liquid fuel and fuel vapor from a fuel tank filler neck to the surroundings.
Abstract:
A fuel cap has a torque member attached to an upper portion of a casing body. The torque member is a disk-shaped plate to transmit a rotational torque applied to a handle to the casing body. An interlocking recess and interlocking claws, which constitute a plate attachment mechanism, are arranged on the upper portion of the casing member. Fitting of the interlocking claws in the interlocking recess causes the torque member to be attached to the casing body in a freely rotatable manner. This simple structure of the invention effectively prevents the fuel cap from being easily damaged by an inadvertent operation, such as a careless drop of the fuel cap, and ensures the sufficient sealing properties of the fuel cap even under application of an external load.
Abstract:
A fuel inlet assembly is provided for receiving fuel from a fuel-dispensing nozzle. The fuel inlet assembly has a filler pipe and a restrictor secured to the filler pipe. The restrictor has a diametrical opening. The assembly also has a protrusion that is attached to the restrictor and extends at an angle across a portion of the diametrical opening below the restrictor. The protrusion is made of an electrically conductive material and is sized, shaped, and positioned so as to contact the fuel-dispensing nozzle when the nozzle is inserted into the diametrical opening, thereby creating an electrical ground path between the nozzle and the fuel inlet assembly.
Abstract:
An in-tank fuel module for a fuel tank having a conductive lead for connection to an electrical ground plane and at least a first electrically conductive component, and a conductive polymeric strand electrically connecting the component to the lead. A jet aspiration pump is made of conductive polymeric material. A conductive component is connected to the ground plane through the fuel level sensing assembly circuit.
Abstract:
An earthing structure of a fuel tank equipped with a lid body closing an opening of the fuel tank made of resin is characterized by being equipped with a ring-shaped member made of metal fixed on the periphery of the opening, and a retainer made of metal fixing the lid body on the ring-shaped member, wherein an electrically earthed member in the vicinity of the lid body is electrically connected to at least one of the ring-shaped member and retainer, and earthing is performed through at least one of the ring-shaped member and retainer.
