Abstract: A fuel filler tube assembly is provided and may include a filler tube having a tubular body defining an inlet larger than an outlet and a funnel insert having a first cylindrical section, a second cylindrical section, and a third cylindrical section disposed between the first cylindrical section and the second cylindrical section. The first cylindrical section may be received in the inlet of the filler tube with the inlet engaging the insert between the first cylindrical section and the third cylindrical section when the first cylindrical section is disposed within the inlet of the filler tube.

Abstract: A fuel filler assembly includes a filler tube including a tube inlet having a larger diameter than a tube outlet and a transition portion disposed between the tube inlet and the tube outlet. An insert is received by the tube inlet and includes an insert inlet and an insert outlet. The insert outlet is received by the tube inlet and includes a nozzle opening axially offset from a central axis of at least one of the tube inlet, the insert inlet, and the insert outlet. The nozzle opening positions a nozzle received by the nozzle opening to direct supplied fuel toward the transition portion of the filler tube.

Abstract: A method of forming a filler tube includes forming a funnel insert, forming a funnel portion in a first end of a filler tube, and joining the funnel insert and the funnel portion of the filler tube. The funnel portion includes a transition portion configured to induce a swirl to passing fuel for venting vapors from the gas tank during fuel filling. A fuel filler tube assembly includes the funnel portion including a tubular body defining a larger inlet and a smaller outlet, the position of the inlet relative the outlet and an internal configuration of the tubular body therebetween inducing a swirl to inventing vapors from fuel flowing through the tubular body. The larger inlet receives a funnel insert including a nozzle opening positioned to cooperate with the internal configuration of the tubular body.

Abstract: Oil compositions comprising a lubricating oil and oil-soluble ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer viscosity index improvers are substantially haze-free when said compositions contain an anti-hazing effective amount of a hydrocarbyl substituted succinic acid. The ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer comprises intramolecularly heterogeneous and intermolecularly homogeneous copolymer chains containing at least one crystallizable segment of methylene units and at least one low crystallinity ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer segment, wherein said at least one crystallizable segment comprises at least about 10 weight percent of said copolymer chain and contains at least about 57 weight percent ethylene, wherein said low crystallinity segment contains not greater than about 53 weight percent ethylene, and wherein said copolymer has a molecular weight distribution characterized by at least one of a ratio of M.sub.w /M.sub.n of less than 2 and a ratio of M.sub.z /M.sub.w of less than 1.

Abstract: Oil compositions comprising a lubricating oil and oil-soluble hydrocarbon polymeric viscosity index improvers such as ethylene-propylene copolymers are substantially haze-free when said compositions contain an anti-hazing effective amount of a hydrocarbyl substituted succinic acid. The invention also relates to the process for preparing said compositions.

Abstract: A reactionary human silhouette targer for shooters is disclosed which gives instantaneous visual and audible reaction to being struck whereby by watching the target and listening, the area of the target which is struck may be determined. The target comprises the upper torso and arms of a person with a body-like front contour, the target mounted on an upright stand. In connecting the target to the stand, a four directional pivot means is provided, together with means to return the target to its original position once moved, the target reacting by pivoting in the direction in which it is struck, and for the instant of being struck in a central target area, the target then raises vertically. Additionally, indication by a different sounding noise is given for different portions of the target being struck.
