Abstract: One embodiment of a fuel inlet includes a tube including a side wall having an interior surface that defines an interior adapted for receiving a fuel nozzle therein and for receiving fuel there through, and the side wall including a raised region that extends circumferentially around the interior surface of the side wall and inwardly into the interior.

Abstract: One embodiment of an integrated anti-siphon fuel filler assembly for placement in an opening of a fuel tank includes tube means including a first end region adapted to be secured directly to the fuel tank for allowing fuel to flow therethrough into an opening of the tank, and restriction means positioned in the tube and defining apertures for the flow of fuel there through.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fuel draw and return system including a plate, a first fuel tube secured to the plate, and a second fuel tube secured to the plate, wherein the first and second fuel tubes are secured to one another and to the plate to define a triangular shaped connection configuration.

Abstract: A fuel tank closure device includes a base sized to be received within an interior of fuel tank filler neck, a closure structure movably mounted on the base, and a biasing mechanism secured to the base and biasing the closure structure into a closed position on the base.

Abstract: An anti-siphon installation assembly includes a spring, a retainer clip mounted on the spring, the retainer clip including a support surface adapted to support an anti-siphon device thereon, and a locator clip mounted on the spring, the locator clip including an outwardly extending arm adapted to contact the upper surface of a fuel filler neck opening.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system, comprising a flange, a fuel draw tube secured to the flange, the fuel draw tube including an end region extending upwardly above a first surface of the flange, the end region including a connector receiving surface, and a fuel return tube secured to the flange, the fuel return tube including an end region extending upwardly above the first surface of the flange, the end region including a connector receiving surface, wherein the connector receiving surfaces are chosen from the group consisting of a downwardly facing shoulder and an enlarged inner tube diameter.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fuel draw and return system including a plate, a first fuel tube secured to the plate, and a second fuel tube secured to the plate, wherein the first and second fuel tubes are secured to one another and to the plate to define a triangular shaped connection configuration.

Abstract: A fuel tank cap including a body, a seal carrier movably positioned within the body, a first seal positioned on the seal carrier and configured for sealably engaging a filler tube opening of a fuel tank, and a second seal positioned on the seal carrier and configured for sealably engaging the body.

Abstract: An improved thermal relief vent for a fuel tank, and a method of manufacturing the same, includes a thermal relief ring that is used to create a mechanical seal within the vent. The thermal relief ring, at room temperature, is crimped in place by use of the vent cap itself. The crimped thermal relief ring creates a mechanical seal between the vent and the vent cap, up until a predetermined thermal relief point, at which time the thermal relief ring will soften and/or yield and release the vent cap from the vent body.

Abstract: A low mass draw and return tube assembly, for use in fuel tanks, is disclosed.
