FILLER TUBE FOR A FUEL TANK
The invention relates to a filler tube for a fuel tank, having a tube portion made of plastic material and a tubular adapter, which is connected to the tube portion, for coupling the filler tube to the fuel tank, wherein a lateral surface of the adapter is integrally bonded, in particular welded, to a lateral surface of the tube portion, wherein the adapter and the tube portion overlap in the region of the integrally bonded connection.
Filler head avoiding a premature nozzle shut off
A filler head for a storage system includes a body to be mounted inclined having a main part closed by a cover part forming a cavity in which a separating device is received. The filler head is configured to receive, in a cylindrical wall of the separating device, a distribution nozzle of a fluid with an automatic stop sensor to prevent overfilling of the filler head. The filler head includes a buffer volume in one-piece with the main part in a back portion of the body reducing the speed of flow coming from the venting line, and the cylindrical wall includes a recess facing the opening of the buffer volume in the back portion of the body.
Operating medium tank arrangement for a motor vehicle
An operating medium tank arrangement for a motor vehicle includes an operating medium tank; a filling tube for refueling the operating medium tank, wherein the filling tube is fluidly connected on one side to the operating medium tank and on the other side has an insertion opening for receiving a refueling device; a guide insert arranged in the filling tube for guiding the refueling device; and a liquid separator including a separator chamber which is divided into a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber, wherein the first sub-chamber is fluidly connected to the operating medium tank via a ventilation line, wherein the second sub-chamber is fluidly connected to a filter device, wherein the separator chamber is fluidly connected to the filling tube for purging operating medium separated in the liquid separator into the filling tube, and wherein the first sub-chamber and the second sub-chamber are fluidly connected with each other via a labyrinth separator which is formed by the liquid separator and the filling tube.
VEHICLE SIDE BODY
A vehicle side body includes a vertical plate, a horizontal plate connected to a lower edge of the vertical plate and extending outward from the edge to form an L-shaped inside edge with the vertical plate, an opening extending in the vertical plate and the horizontal plate across the inside edge, and an L-shaped bracket fixed to, around the opening, an inner surface of the vertical plate and a lower surface of the horizontal plate. A hydrogen filling port to which a hydrogen filling nozzle is connectable is attached to the L-shaped bracket. A rib plate is provided to connect an outer surface of the vertical plate and an upper surface of the horizontal plate. An accidental contact between the hydrogen filling nozzle and a body is inhibited.
Variable inlet device for a vehicle
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.
Portable Strainer Device
A portable strainer device that consists of a cylindrical housing (sleeve) that slips over the end of a fuel nozzle with a strainer inside the cylindrical filtration housing at the bottom end and wide outside circular lip at the top end of the cylindrical strainer housing. The lip is wide enough, so that it will not fall into a fuel tank. There is a lip inside the cylindrical housing (sleeve) at the bottom.
PRE-CONSUMPTION FUEL ANALYTICS SYSTEM
The present disclosure relates generally to a fuel monitoring system for vehicles. More specifically, an embodiment of the system includes a hollow tube insertable into a filler tube of a fuel reservoir. The hollow tube has a first end defining an opening for receiving a fuel nozzle and a cap connectable to the first end. The system also includes a sensor that produces a signal representative of an amount of fuel flowing through the hollow tube.
Biodiesel resistant PVC/NBR rubber composition
A PVC/NBR rubber composition includes (A) 100 PHR polyblend (33-45 ACN) PVC/NBR, (B) 20-50 PHR conductive carbon black, (C) 2-20 PHR rice husk ash containing at least 90% SiO.sub.2, wherein the rubber composition has electrical resistivity of less than 110.sup.6 measured according to SAE J2260.
Biodiesel resistant PVC/NBR rubber composition
A PVC/NBR rubber composition includes (A) 100 PHR polyblend (33-45 ACN) PVC/NBR, (B) 20-50 PHR conductive carbon black, (C) 1-100 PHR carbon black, (B) being more electrically conductive than (C), and (D) 5-30 PHR synthetic amorphous silica, wherein the rubber composition has electrical resistivity of less than 110.sup.6 measured according to SAE J2260.
INLET END PIECE FOR THE TANK INLET OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
Disclosed is an inlet end piece for the tank inlet of a motor vehicle, having a closure insert arranged in an upper area of a pipe inlet, having a filling opening and a sealing flap which counter to the force of a closure spring by way of a gas pump nozzle is capable of being opened by pivoting, and is held in the closed state by the closure spring. The inlet end piece has an indicator means having an indicator area, wherein the indicator means in the case of a closed sealing flap is located in an inactive position in which an indicator area of the indicator means is not visible to the user, and in the case of the sealing flap being at least partially opened, the indicator means is displaced into a signal position in which the indicator area becomes visible.
