Abstract: A connection arrangement for a tube is provided. The invention connection arrangement comprises a device configured to communicate fluid from an inlet to an outlet wherein the device includes at least one fitting having a plurality of protrusions extending therefrom. The connection arrangement further includes a polymer coated tube comprising aluminum material coupled with the fitting of the device, and the tube is configured to communicate matter with the device. The tube has an outer surface, an inner surface, at least one open end, a center passageway, a longitudinal axis extending through the center passageway, and a polymer coating. When mated together, the protrusions of the fitting create a tight seal and connection between the fitting and the tube.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system in accordance with the present invention comprises a fuel rail having an outlet opening and an outlet cup that is insertable into the outlet opening. The cup includes a flange. The flange includes at least one tab extending therefrom. The cup further defines a vertical axis extending therethrough. The system further includes a fuel injector with an inlet insertable within the cup. The system still further includes a retention clip. The clip includes an inner peripheral surface, at least a portion of which is configured for engagement with the injector when the clip and injector are assembled together. The clip further includes at least one arm, the arm further including a finger configured for spring engagement with the tab of the cup. The clip is operative to limit the movement of the fuel injector when it is assembled with the clip and inserted in the cup.

Abstract: A fuel system comprises a fuel tank having an outlet. The system further includes a reservoir having a housing defining a cavity. The reservoir is located remotely from the tank and is configured to receive and store fuel. The system still further includes a fuel pump having an inlet and outlet. The system yet still further includes a valve having a fuel tank inlet port, a reservoir inlet port and an outlet port. The fuel tank inlet port is in fluid communication with the fuel tank, the reservoir inlet port is in fluid communication with the reservoir and the outlet port is configured to be connected to and in fluid communication with the fuel pump. The valve is configured to couple the outlet port with the reservoir inlet port when predetermined conditions occur indicative of fuel vapor air in the fuel tank inlet port.

Abstract: A fuel rail assembly with crossover conduits for communicating fuel between two fuel rails of a fuel-injected, spark ignited internal combustion engine is provided. The hose has a body with a mechanism for damping pressure pulsations within the fuel rail assembly.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system arrangement is provided which includes a clip having an inner circumferential surface which engages the fuel injector body but has an outer circumferential surface which is inserted within the fuel rail injector cup outlet. Therefore an inadvertent torque placed upon the fuel injector will cause the outer diameter of the clip to engage the interior of the cup and thereafter be prevented from opening.

Abstract: A tank assembly is provided. A tank assembly in accordance with the present invention includes a container having a neck portion and interior and exterior surfaces. The tank assembly further includes a ring inserted within an opening in the neck. The ring is crimp connected with the neck interior surface. The tank assembly still further includes a collar fitted over the neck exterior surface opposite said ring. The collar serves to place the neck in compression.

Abstract: A multiple pump fuel delivery system is provided, which in one preferred embodiment includes a tank. Mounted within the tank are multiple fuel pumps. The fuel pumps have intakes connected to filters. One pump may be connected to a fuel only passing filter, and another pump may be connected with a fuel-water mixture passing filter. Fuel from the outlets of the pumps is delivered past non-return check valves through a manifold. The manifold is connected with a pressure regulator valve, which is fluidly communicative with the engine of the vehicle. A relief outlet is also provided to return excess fuel.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system arrangement is provided for the internal combustion engine. The arrangement includes a fuel rail with an outlet and a fuel injector for metering flow of fuel from the fuel rail into the internal combustion engine. The fuel injector has a body with an inlet, which inlet has an opening. A first sealing member is provided for engaging the fuel rail outlet and sealing the fuel injector inlet opening from a portion of the fuel injector body. A second sealing member is provided which engages the fuel rail outlet and seals the injector body providing a sealed control volume between the first sealing member and the second sealing member adjacent to the fuel injector body. A vent is provided connecting a sealed control volume with an area external to the fuel injector rail and the fuel injector body.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system is provided having a fuel rail with an outlet. A fuel injector is provided having a body with an outlet and a generally tubular inlet. The tubular inlet of the fuel injector is generally axially slideable into the fuel rail outlet. The fuel injector outlet has a generally noncircular cross-sectional shape and is torsionally restrained by the fuel rail outlet.

Abstract: A fuel rail is provided for delivering fuel to a plurality of fuel injectors for a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine which in a preferred embodiment includes a sealed housing having an inlet for receiving fuel, the housing having at least first and second outlets for delivering fuel to fuel injectors, a first chamber forming a first control volume with an inlet connected with an interior of the sealed housing, the first chamber forming a vapor space for the sealed housing interior, and a second chamber forming a second control volume with an inlet to the first control volume, the second chamber forming a vapor space for the first control volume.

Abstract: A fuel rail assembly with crossover conduits for communicating fuel between two fuel rails of a fuel-injected, spark ignited internal combustion engine is provided. The hose has a body with a mechanism for damping pressure pulsations within the fuel rail assembly.
