An automatic draining device for condensed water or leaking water in an aeration pipeline comprises a water tank, a draining and exhausting stand pipe and a float bowl valve. According to the automatic draining device, the condensed water or the leaking water is sprayed out through pressurized air; under the condition that the condensed water or the leaking water in the aeration pipeline is basically drained, the outlet is basically closed, only allowing little gas to flow out; and meanwhile, when water is accumulated in the pipeline, the water outlet can be automatically opened widely to drain the accumulated water rapidly.

In a fuel supply device including a regulator and float-type level sensor, a fitting tube is formed integrally with an upper housing, a fuel pump being retained between the upper and lower housings. An outer periphery of a base part of the regulator is fitted into the tube. A regulator retaining member is formed as a separate member from the upper housing and retains the regulator in cooperation with the tube. The tube and the retaining member are joined via a snap-fit join part provided on fitting parts therebetween. The snap-fit join part is formed by engaging a projecting portion or a recess part, formed on an elastic piece provided on one of the fitting parts between the retaining member and the tube, with the recess part or the projecting portion formed on the other fitting part. A sensor support arm is molded as a unit with the retaining member.

A drain assembly for a fluid tank having a drain hole therein may include a hollow first member to be coupled with the drain hole, where the hollow first member has at least one opening therein. The drain assembly may further include a hollow second member slidably coupled with the hollow first member and movable along a longitudinal axis of the hollow outer member between first and second positions. The hollow second member may be configured to seal the at least one opening in the hollow first member when in the first position to define an upper spillover level for fluid within the tank, and to unseal the at least one opening in the hollow first member when in the second position to define a lower spillover level for fluid within the tank below the upper spillover level.

A confined, fully or partially liquid-filled container having at least one flexible wall, utilizing the effect of gravity on liquid in the container to generate a force that acts on an actuator mechanism to operate a normally-closed control valve. In preferred embodiments, the container is a simple sealed bag partially liquid-filled and air-free. The flexible-walled container contains a predetermined quantity of liquid. The bag is confined by walls of a housing formed of a non-flexible material, and is affixed to the housing preferably to an upper wall of the housing in any conventional way. The housing is disposed in a vessel for holding a liquid and is having one or more apertures, which are in fluid communication with the interior of the vessel and through which liquid can enter from the vessel into the housing to a level corresponding to a desired level of liquid in the vessel.
