The disclosed invention is an apparatus for securely and adjustably associating a fluid meter a fluid meter test bench. The apparatus comprises two vertical support members each connected by a horizontal support element at one free end. The horizontal support element defines an adjustment interface mechanically associated with an adjuster element configured for adjustably securing a flow path element of a fluid meter test bench.

A container, a stackable container assembly and a vehicle having a container. The container includes a container body having a top surface and a bottom surface; and a fixture assembly configured for receiving an accessory container, the fixture assembly being separately formed from and attached to the top surface, the bottom surface being configured for connecting the container to a vehicle, the bottom surface including: a tongue attached to the bottom surface, the tongue extending from the bottom surface, the tongue being configured for inserting into a first vehicle anchor fixture connected to the vehicle, and an anchor attached to the bottom surface, the anchor being configured for inserting into a second vehicle anchor fixture, the anchor including: at least one anchor lock extending parallel to the bottom surface.

Intake arrangement for an internal combustion engine for the intake of a liquid medium from a container, having a strainer, via which liquid medium can be taken in from the container, and having at least one suction pipe which opens with a first end into the strainer and via which the liquid medium can be delivered towards a suction pump, which interacts with the respective suction pipe. The suction pipe is mounted at a second end that faces away from the strainer such that it can be pivoted about an axis such that the suction pipe follows a movement of the liquid within the container.

A non-metallic fuel tank includes a non-metallic tank body, at least one coupling device or mounting system for coupling the non-metallic tank body to a bed of a truck or to a trolley, and a fuel fill opening. A grounding wire may be coupled to the non-metallic tank as well as a fuel line connector which is also coupled to the existing fuel system of a truck. A mounting system for a non-metallic fuel tank includes two rear toe clamps and two front mounting assemblies which include a front mount base and an angle iron coupled together. A portable fuel tank includes a non-metallic tank body and a trolley coupled to the tank body. The trolley includes a base, a mounting system for coupling the non-metallic tank body and the base, at least one handle and at least one wheel.

A fuel level sensor detects the level of fuel in a fuel tank. A level signal detected by a float does not change in a full dead zone and an empty dead zone. During normal fuel consumption, the level signal changes according to the consumption amount. Thus when an electronic control unit, or ECU, detects that the fuel level sensor is operating normally, the ECU resets a fuel consumption amount. However, when a small quantity of fuel is supplied, the fuel consumption amount is not reset, and a measurement error may occur during failure detection. Accordingly, the ECU corrects a failure threshold value to avoid misdiagnosing a failure.

The disclosed technology is a portable/mobile test bench apparatus and method for testing the accuracy of fluid flow meters. The system comprises an improved drain line system that better removes the test fluid after testing. The system is configured to automatically test the fluid meter at a plurality of flow rates and record the test data as well as transfer the test data to a centralized database.
