Vapor recovery system for mobile fuelers
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.
FLUID DISPENSING SYSTEMS
A fluid dispensing system. The fluid dispensing system includes a portable source container, a fluid dispensing nozzle, a pump system, a fluid conduit, and a power connector. The pump system includes at least one pumping portion for pumping fluid through a first fluid passage, an electric motor for powering the first pumping portion and a power receptacle for receiving power to the electric motor. The pump system is coupled the source container or the fluid dispensing nozzle. The power connector includes at least one retaining clip biased to a retaining configuration, the first retaining clip in the retaining configuration being configured to enable the power connector to be retained in the power receptacle.
