Abstract: A fuel head adapter for connecting a fuel head assembly to a fuel tank during high-volume fueling operations, such as hydraulic fracturing. The adapter includes a body with a flow passage configured to interface with a fuel head assembly. A sealing assembly disposed within the body comprises a resilient seal member and a plurality of springs configured to bias the seal member to form a fluid-tight seal against the filler tube of the fuel tank.
