Funnel insert for a filler tube of a fuel tank

A funnel insert for a filler tube of a fuel tank for a motor vehicle, the funnel insert being arranged in an end region of the filler tube intended to receive a fuel nozzle, and there being a space between the outside of the funnel insert and the inside of the filler tube, in which space a fluid barrier is arranged. According to the invention, the fluid barrier is in the form of a sealing body arranged on the outer circumference of the funnel insert, which sealing body comprises a sealing lip resting on the inside of the filler tube in portions or circumferentially, and consists of a material having a higher flexibility than the material of the funnel insert.

Fuel tank lid and fuel pump module having the same

A fuel tank lid includes a lid part and a terminal. The lid part includes an inserted part inserted into an opening of a fuel tank, and a storage part storing a drive circuit. The terminal has a central portion covered by the inserted part and the storage part, a first end connected to a pump, and a second end connected to the drive circuit. The storage part includes a side wall that has a first opening and a second opening, an upper closure part that closes the first opening, and a lower closure part that closes the second opening. The fuel tank lid further includes a discharge structure positioned vertically lower than the upper closure part and discharging a fuel vapor that has travelled along an interface between the terminal and the lid part and entered a hollow space of the storage part, to an external atmosphere.

Working vehicle

A working vehicle according to the present invention is configured with a fuel tank, a fuel sensor for detecting an amount of fuel stored in the fuel tank, and an informing device (a controller, informing switch, and speaker) for informing the stored amount of fuel detected by the fuel sensor, by changing the informing pattern in response to this stored amount of fuel. The working vehicle is also configured with an exhaust gas purification system for purifying exhaust gas using urea water, a urea water tank, a urea water sensor for detecting the amount of urea water stored in the urea water tank, and an informing device (the controller, informing switch, and speaker) for informing a stored amount of urea water detected by the urea water sensor, by changing the informing pattern in response to this stored amount of urea water.

Nonspill fuel filler adapter
09776503 · 2017-10-03 · ·

A fuel filler adapter has a hollow body having a base end with a flange extending outwardly therefrom, and a forward end, and has a length of between 0.5 inch and 2.5 inches. A bore extends through the body at an angle of between 2.5 and 15 so that the adapter can be fitted onto a fuel nozzle. Fueling spitback is prevented by a helical fuel path which does not block air from venting from a fuel tank. Air venting from the fuel tank exits through the fuel filler adapter via one or more venting channels.

Fuel feeding device for vehicles

The problem to be solved is to provide a fuel feeding device for vehicles that is stably secured to a vehicle body. In the fuel feeding device for vehicles having an inlet filler pipe 1 and a fixing member 4, a flexible element 5 is provided that relatively presses the inlet filler pipe 1 toward the fixing member 4. With the flexible element 5 causing the inlet filler pipe 1 and the fixing member 4 to make pressure contact with each other, there can hardly be any gap created between the inlet filler pipe 1 and the fixing member 4 irrespective of the difference in linear expansion coefficient between them.

REFUELING RETAINER
20170190248 · 2017-07-06 ·

A refueling retainer comprises a body portion of a tubular shape inserted into and arranged at a fueling-side end portion of an inlet pipe through which fuel is introduced to a fuel tank. The body portion comprises at a leading end portion thereof: a tapered portion, which is an inner peripheral surface of the leading end portion inclined radially inward toward a leading end of the body portion; and a claw portion that projects from the leading end of the body portion in an inwardly bent manner.

Charging housing or filler neck housing

A charging housing or filler neck housing for insertion into a body opening in a motor vehicle comprises a housing body with a passage opening. A plug-in charging connector or a tank filler pipe can be inserted into the passage opening, and a sealing ring is arranged on the passage opening. The sealing ring has an annular sealing body, from which a first elastic sealing lip and a second elastic sealing lip extend, wherein the first sealing lip is designed to bear against a plug-in charging connector or tank filler pipe inserted into the passage opening, and wherein the second sealing lip is designed to bear against a closure flap closing the filler neck housing or charging housing.

POLYAMIDE COMPOSITE RESIN COMPOSITION FOR FUEL FILLER PIPE

A polyamide composite resin composition for a fuel filler pipe includes 41 to 77% by weight of polyamide 6, 5 to 15% by weight of m-xylenediamine (MXD)-based modified nylon, 14 to 30% by weight of a maleic anhydride-grafted ethylene-octene copolymer, a maleic anhydride-grafted ethylene-propylene-diene monomer, or a mixture thereof, and 3 to 10% by weight of mixed clay.
