Embodiments of systems and methods for transporting fuel and carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) in a dual-fluid vessel thereby minimizing transportation between locations are disclosed. In an embodiment, the dual-fluid vessel has an outer shell with two or more inner compartments, positioned within the outer shell, including a first inner compartment for storing CO.sub.2 and a second inner compartment for storing fuel. The dual-fluid vessel may connect or attach to a transportation vehicle to thereby allow transportation of the fuel and CO.sub.2. Insulation may provide temperature regulation for the fuel and CO.sub.2 when positioned in the respective first and second inner compartments. One or more ports having an opening in and through the outer shell and a fluid pathway to one or more of the first inner compartment or the second inner compartment may provide fluid communication through the opening and fluid pathway for loading/offloading the fuel and/or CO.sub.2.

Scalable greenhouse gas capture systems and methods to allow a user to off-load exhaust captured in an on-board vehicle exhaust capture device and to allow for a delivery vehicle or other transportation mechanism to obtain and transport the exhaust. The systems and methods may involve one or more exhaust pumps, each with a multi-function nozzle assembly including an exhaust nozzle corresponding to a vehicle exhaust port and a fuel nozzle for supplying fuel to a vehicle fuel tank. Upon engagement with the vehicle exhaust port, the exhaust nozzle may create an air-tight seal between the exhaust nozzle and the vehicle exhaust port. An exhaust conduit may be configured to transport captured exhaust therethrough from the exhaust nozzle to an exhaust holding tank connected to and in fluid communication with the exhaust conduit.

A vapor control set screw valve applied into the handle of a fuel dispensing nozzle, including a valve bushing intermediately applied within the vapor return line within the handle, a set screw valve provided within the lateral channel formed of the bushing, an insert bushing applied to the dispenser handle, and the set screw, forming the valve, engaging within the insert bushing, and extending into the vapor return line bushing, to provide for its adjustment therein, to open or close the vapor return line within the nozzle in order to regulate and control the flow of the returning vapors being pumped back to the associated dispenser, and to the normally underground fuel storage tank associated with gasoline dispensing.

A system for recovering fuel vapor during delivery of fuel by a mobile fueler includes a storage tank covered with a layer of insulation, a supply pump connected to the storage tank for delivering fuel therefrom, and a fuel dispensing assembly, preferably a coaxial hose and nozzle, including a supply outlet for delivering fuel to a vehicle being fueled, and a vapor recovery inlet proximate the supply outlet. A diverter valve diverts a portion of the fuel in the supply line, and a vacuum jet pump is connected to the storage tank and, by a vapor line, to the vapor recovery inlet, which is driven by the diverted fuel to create a vacuum in the vapor line to draw vapor into the vapor recovery inlet, through the vapor line, and into the storage tank.

Disclosed is a fuel supply structure for a filler pipe including the hollow circular cylindrical part having the fuel filler port and the connection opening, the first flap mechanism which is disposed on a side of the fuel filler port of the hollow circular cylindrical part and opens the fuel filler port in response to press by a nozzle, the drain through hole for communication between the inside and the outside of the hollow circular cylindrical part, and the drain hole shutting valve for open and shutting the drain through hole. The drain hole shutting valve is provided with the opening/shutter mechanism including the valve member for shutting the drain through hole in response to an opening operation of the first shutter member.

This invention relates to a system and method of recovering volatile gasoline/petroleum vapours during the supply, handling, and distribution of petroleum products for use in road transport. The system utilizes the vacuum created by a closed shutoff valve outside of a gasoline storage tank, on the vent line, for recovering raw gasoline vapors or fumes while gasoline is being transferred from the gasoline storage tank to a fuel carrying tanker truck, vice-versa, or while gasoline is being transferred from the gasoline storage tank to normal vehicles (cars, pick-up trucks, etc).

A volatile liquid vapor recovery system is used to recover vapors produced in the loading of shipping vehicles with volatile liquid product from a storage tank. The recovery system uses a primary vessel with an adsorption bed for adsorbing the volatile liquid vapors and venting clean air including oxygen to the atmosphere. The recovery system regenerates the adsorption bed by recovering the volatile liquid vapors from the adsorption bed and directly delivering said vapors to the storage tank. The system may be adapted to remove oxygen from the primary vessel prior to regeneration, such as by purging and venting the primary vessel with a purge gas or by providing a secondary vessel to receive oxygen and vapors from the primary vessel prior to regeneration of the first adsorption bed. Adsorbed volatile liquid vapor from the secondary vessel can be recycled to the primary vessel for conservation.

A secondary indicator for a vapor recovery valve is presented. The vapor recovery valve comprises a piston and a primary indicator, the primary indicator is attached to the piston, and the piston moves linearly in relation to the actuation of the valve and moves proportionally in conjunction with the piston to provide a visual indication that the valve has actuated. The secondary indicator is mounted to the vapor recovery valve and is not attached to the primary indicator. The secondary indicator comprises a signal, a torsional spring, and a fixed pin. The secondary indicator is second class lever, the torsional spring is the effort, the fixed pin is the fulcrum, and the primary indicator is the load between the torsional spring and the fixed pin, such that the signal rotates with the linear movement of the primary indicator to multiply the effect of the primary indicator.
