A fluid fill tool for filling a reservoir on a vehicle includes a main body defining a cavity therein and a housing coupled to the main body and defining an opening therethrough. The housing is coupled to the main body such that the cavity is in flow communication with the opening. The fluid fill tool further includes a support mechanism coupled to the housing. The support mechanism is selectively moveable between a first position and a second position such that the support mechanism is configured to contact a wall of the vehicle to reduce movement of the reservoir.

The present invention relates to a personal gas handle device. The personal gas handle protective device is in the form of a sanitary cover capable of fitting over a gas pump handle and trigger to prevent direct contact of a user's hand with the gas pump handle and trigger for improving safety and reducing the spread of germs and bacteria. The sanitary cover has a handle cover portion for covering a portion of the handle of the gas pump, a trigger cover portion having a curved portion for covering the trigger of the gas pump. The sanitary cover can be removed and wiped for reuse and can be easily stored and carried. The sanitary cover is made of flexible plastic enabling a user to squeeze the gas pump trigger with the cover fitted over the handle and the trigger.

A fuel nozzle storage assembly for storing a refueling nozzle on a vehicle mounted refueling tank includes a housing that may be mounted to a bed of a service vehicle that has a refueling tank and a refueling nozzle. The housing insertably receives the refueling nozzle for storage to inhibit the refueling nozzle from becoming filled with dirt, snow or debris. A door is hingedly coupled to the housing and the door closes the housing. A drain is coupled to the housing to drain fuel that drips from the refueling nozzle outwardly from the housing.

A fuel tank fill assembly includes a fuel fill tube adapted to be coupled to a fuel tank and configured to receive fuel discharged by a pump nozzle. The assembly includes a tube mounting bracket for mounting the fuel fill tube in a stationary position in a vehicle to conduct fuel to the fuel tank. A process for coating the tube mounting bracket is disclosed.

In an example, a method of supplying fuel to a fuel tank of a vehicle includes supplying, via a fuel line, fuel to a fuel tank of a vehicle at an initial rate of fuel flow, which causes an electrostatic charge to accumulate on a surface of the fuel in the fuel tank. The method also includes exposing an air medium in the fuel tank to ionizing radiation to increase a level of ionization of an air medium in the fuel tank and increase a rate of dissipation of the electrostatic charge. The method includes determining the level of ionization of the air medium in the fuel tank, and determining an increased rate of fuel flow based on a difference between the determined level of ionization and a baseline level of ionization. The method further includes supplying the fuel to the fuel tank at the increased rate of fuel flow.
