    Abstract

    A portable strainer device that consists of a cylindrical housing (sleeve) that slips over the end of a fuel nozzle with a strainer inside the cylindrical filtration housing at the bottom end and wide outside circular lip at the top end of the cylindrical strainer housing. The lip is wide enough, so that it will not fall into a fuel tank. There is a lip inside the cylindrical housing (sleeve) at the bottom.

    Claims

    1. A portable strainer device that consists of a cylindrical housing (sleeve) that slips over the end of a fuel nozzle with a strainer inside the cylindrical filtration housing at the bottom end and wide outside circular lip at the top end of the cylindrical strainer housing. The lip is wide enough, so that it will not fall into a fuel tank. There is a lip inside the cylindrical housing (sleeve) at the bottom.

    1. The portable strainer device according to claim 1, the cylindrical sleeve is wide enough so that it slides around a fuel dispenser and slender enough so that it will fit through the hole of a fuel tank.

    2. The portable strainer device according to claim 2, wherein the strainer fits inside the bottom end of the cylindrical sleeve with an inside lip on the filtration housing.

    3. The portable strainer device according to claim 3, wherein the cylindrical sleeve has a wide circular lip at the top end of the cylindrical housing (opposite end from from the strainer).sup.1

    Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

    [0007] The invention concerns a portable strainer device, in particular for diesel/gasoline filling nozzles. The housing slides over the end of the fuel nozzle and will filter fuel via the strainer at the end of the cylindrical housing. The portable strainer device will not fall into a fuel tank because of the wide circular lip at the top of the cylindrical housing.

    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

    [0008] The invention serves the purpose of a portable strainer device by simple means and of constructive materials, so fuel can be strained safely and quickly.

    [0009] The cylindrical sleeve will fit simultaneously over a fuel dispenser and into a fuel tank. The fuel will travel through the cylindrical housing and be strained as it exits through the strainer before entering the fuel tank.
