  • Patent number: 9776503
    Abstract: A fuel filler adapter has a hollow body having a base end with a flange extending outwardly therefrom, and a forward end, and has a length of between 0.5 inch and 2.5 inches. A bore extends through the body at an angle of between 2.5° and 15° so that the adapter can be fitted onto a fuel nozzle. Fueling spitback is prevented by a helical fuel path which does not block air from venting from a fuel tank. Air venting from the fuel tank exits through the fuel filler adapter via one or more venting channels.

  • Patent number: 8307706
    Abstract: A marine steering fluid system sight gauge comprises a hollow body having an annular first end, a second end, and a substantially transparent intermediate portion. The annular first end is externally threaded and screws into and sealingly engages against a threaded aperture of a marine steering fluid system. The second end is internally threaded and sealingly receives the threaded cylindrical plug of a marine steering fluid system cap. The hydraulic fluid level is periodically inspected by viewing the level of fluid in the transparent intermediate portion of the sight gauge.
