A filtration pouring spout for bottled liquids utilizing a diaphragm that acts as a reed valve to control the passage of liquid out of the bottle and the influx of air into the bottle.

An in-tank filter bowl with a de-aeration shroud for a hydraulic or oil reservoir includes an outlet shroud surrounding the filter bowl outlet at a proximal end thereof and having a shroud fluid outlet at a distal end thereof with a larger opening than an opening of the filter bowl outlet. The outlet shroud may be formed as or include a diverging member surrounding the filter bowl outlet at a proximal end thereof and having a diverging member fluid outlet at a distal end thereof, wherein the member diverges from the proximal end to the distal end thereof. The outlet shroud may further include a central deflector positioned within the diverging member and combining with the diverging member to form an annular passage to the diverging member fluid outlet.

A reductant storage system for an internal combustion engine system includes a storage container having a bottom wall, a top wall opposite the bottom wall, an opening extending through the top wall, and a reservoir formed by a hollow interior of the storage container and a filter assembly. The filter assembly extends through the opening and include a filtering material and a gasket integrally formed with the filtering material. The gasket includes a proximal flange that is larger than the opening and including a sealing surface in sealing contact with the storage container.

A method and system for estimating the remaining useful life of a filter in a lubrication system is disclosed along with exemplary system components.

A filling member for filling a container with a filling product, for example in a beverage filling system, includes a product outlet which is designed to dispense the filling product into a container located thereunder; and an equipment portion which as a first equipment means includes a screen device with a screen and which is designed to transfer the screen as required into a screen state, in which the screen is located between the product outlet and the container so that the filling product is filtered by the screen when introduced into the container, and out of the screen state.

An in-tank fuel pump assembly and mounting system is disclosed which may be configured for mounting inside a fuel tank. The assembly includes a pump housing, pump mounted to the housing, and pressure relief valve. The housing may comprise upper and lower pump housing units coupled together. The upper housing unit is configured for mounting to a tank opening, which in one implementation may be the fuel fill opening. The lower housing unit extends into the tank to approximately the bottom of the tank. A fuel fill fluid pathway is created through the housing for adding fuel to the tank while the pump assembly remains in situ. The upper housing unit may include a removable fuel cap. The pump housing may include an integral vapor trap.

A filter device with a removable termination part (81; 82) and a housing (3) that receives a replaceable filter element (5) having two end caps (25,47). Between the end caps, a filter material (12) extends. A positioning device (65) is arranged between the termination part (81; 82) and one end cap (47). The positioning device positions the filter element (5) within the housing (3), at least when viewed in the circumferential direction of the filter element, in interaction with at least one corresponding positioning element (71) of the end cap (47).
