  • Patent number: 7117857
    Abstract: An outboard motor fuel vapor separator-venting system that vents fuel vapor from a fuel vapor separator through a vapor relief valve. The vapor relief valve allows vapor to gradually be delivered from the vapor separator to an air induction system depending on the amount of air entering the air induction system and/or engine speed. The vapor relief valve does not allow fuel vapor to vent from the fuel vapor separator to the air induction system when the engine is not operating.

  • Patent number: 7114491
    Abstract: With a low-pressure pump, fuel is supplied to a vapor separator comprising an air discharge port and a ball valve for closing the air discharge port in association with a rise in fluid level of the fuel supplied to the vapor separator. When the fuel is filled into the vapor separator entirely, the ball valve acts to tightly close the vapor separator, thereby pressurizing the fuel in the vapor separator.

  • Publication number: 20020008341
    Abstract: Between the first linking member mounted on the vibrating body side and the second linking member mounted on a member on the car body side, the hydraulic vibration isolator has an insulator for isolating vibrations from the vibrating body. The main and auxiliary chambers in which an incompressible fluid (liquid) is sealed are provided in series with this insulator. The liquid is allowed to flow between the main chamber and the auxiliary chamber through an orifice. The partition member separates the main chamber and the auxiliary chamber from each other. The diaphragm forms a part of the chamber wall of the auxiliary chamber and separates the auxiliary chamber from an external atmosphere. The partition member is formed with a communication passage that connects the main chamber with the auxiliary chamber. In the communication passage is arranged a vibrator comprising an oscillating piston that oscillates the liquid in the main chamber at a predetermined frequency.
