  • Patent number: 8544449
    Abstract: A device for feeding fuel from a fuel tank (33) to a multi-fuel engine (12) that uses fuel in which alcohol and gasoline are mixed in an arbitrary ratio. The internal volume of a connecting line (84) provided between a fuel pressure governor (85) and a fuel injection device (50) is a volume equal to or greater than the amount of fuel consumed from startup of the engine until an oxygen sensor (88) reaches a measurement-enabling temperature.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8056539
    Abstract: Fuel supply equipment for a vehicle includes a fuel filter cover for covering a fuel filter that is disposed outside of a fuel tank. A fuel pressure regulator for keeping fuel supplied to a fuel injection system under predetermined pressure is arranged so that the fuel pressure regulator is located inside the fuel filter cover and is overlapped with the fuel filter cover when a vehicle is viewed from the side. The fuel pressure regulator is connected to an outflow side of the fuel filter via a fuel hose for keeping fuel supplied to a fuel injection system under predetermined pressure. A holder for supporting the fuel pressure regulator is attached to the fuel filter cover before it is attached to a body frame. The resulting configuration enhances the ability to install and maintain a fuel filter provided outside the fuel tank.
