Abstract: An orifice holder assembly provides a boss connected by at least one arm to a base having an outlet therethrough. The boss is provided below the outlet. A tube is inserted through the boss until a bead contacts a first boss surface and the tube end is then deflected to form a lip where the lip and the bead connects the tube to the boss. An orifice body is then inserted in the tube end.

Abstract: A fuel intake device for a vehicle has a base portion, a body portion pivotally attached to the base portion, and a connector portion. The body portion includes a fuel intake passage and is pivotable between an open position wherein the fuel intake passage is in communication with a fuel intake pipe of the vehicle and a closed position wherein the fuel intake passage is moved out of communication with the fuel intake pipe. The connector portion is removably attached to the base portion for being at least partially received in the fuel intake pipe. The connector portion enables communication from the body portion to the fuel intake pipe.

Abstract: A replacement fuel intake device is provided that is removably mountable within a base portion of a vehicle and contains a housing that is pivotal from a closed position to an open position. While in the closed position, the fuel intake passage to the fuel tank is sealed. While in the open position, the fuel intake passage is able to receive fuel from a fuel nozzle. The fuel intake device can be combined with a condensation capture apparatus that provides multiple coils in communication with a fume tube. The coils are cooled during fueling by the fuel passing around them from their placement inside the fuel intake pipe and act to condense fuel fumes into fuel for return to the fuel tank as the fumes rise toward the fume tube. The replacement fuel intake device can also include a pressurization and depressurization valve.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for using an e-duction card as a payment instrument, whereby a purchase price of articles purchased on-line or off-line is deducted from an employee's paycheck.
