Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a fuel treating device having a small pressure loss and a high contacting efficiency between fuel and fuel treating material. To attain said object, fuel treating material(s) 16, 26, 36 is(are) movably arranged in a fuel treating container 12, 22, 32 and said fuel treating material(s) 16, 26, 36 is(are) moved by flow pressure of the fuel to improve the contacting efficiency between said fuel treating material(s) 16, 26, 36 and the fuel and treat fuel by contacting with said fuel treating materials 16, 26, 36.
Abstract: A shuttle valve is described which comprises a valve housing having an inlet and a plurality of outlets. An inner valve assembly is located within an internal cavity which is actuated by a shaft which extends from the internal cavity to a point external from the valve housing. The inner valve assembly comprises a valve disk having a surface which is spherical, at least in part, and a flow elbow, which is located 180.degree. away from the face of the valve disk. The valve disk and the flow elbow are connected to one another and to the shaft. The valve disk is further articulatable. The point which defines the axis of rotation of the shaft and the center point of a phantom sphere defined by the spherical surface of the valve disk, are eccentric, or displaced from one another.
