  • Patent number: 7240809
    Abstract: A fuel impurity separation device includes a cylindrical body extending into a fuel can. The separation device includes a screen and a filter. The screen is located at one end of the cylindrical body that extends into a fuel storage cavity defined by sidewalls of the fuel can to prevent large impurities from contacting the filter and slowing down fuel flow as it is poured from the fuel can. The filter prevents smaller impurities from entering into a engine fuel system. The unique size and shape of the body of the separator also removes water and condensation from the fuel as it is poured from the fuel can to assure that only clean fuel is passed from the fuel can into a fuel system.
