摘要:
A fuel system for an internal combustion engine includes at least one first fuel pump and a pressure region into which the fuel pump pumps and which communicates with an elastic volume reservoir. The elastic volume reservoir has a characteristic pressure/volume curve, which is defined by at least two points. It is proposed that a first point is defined by a first volume at a first pressure that is somewhat greater than a vapor pressure of the fuel at ambient temperature, and that a second point is defined by a second volume and a second pressure in the pressure region that corresponds to a maximum pressure; the difference between the first and second volumes corresponds at least approximately and at least to a value by which the volume of the fuel in the pressure region decreases upon cooling down from a maximum temperature to ambient temperature.

An evaporative emissions control system for an engine including a fuel tank having a fuel tank vapor space, a carburetor coupled to the fuel tank, and a fuel tank cap having fuel vapor adsorption media that adsorbs vapor from the fuel tank vapor space. The fuel tank cap is in fluid communication with the carburetor via the vapor space and is configured to permit fuel vapor stored in the fuel adsorption media to be purged into the carburetor via the vapor space.

A flow-restricting plug is provided for installation within a vapor recirculation pipe that communicates with a fuel filler pipe. The plug is manufactured of fuel-impervious material and has a cylindrical shape adapted to be mounted by press fit within the vapor recirculation pipe. A flow passage of tortuous shape is formed along the outer circumferential surface of the plug between the opposed ends thereof. The tortuous shape of the flow passage permits the flow of fuel vapor through the plug but prevents the flow of liquid fuel through the plug.

Prior art fuel line check valves remain closed after engine off and cool down. Diurnal heating and the resultant pressure increase in the fuel line causes fuel vapor emissions through small openings in the fuel line (e.g., at the injector tips). The invention provides a check valve for a vehicle fuel line which opens in response to engine cooling and remains open while the engine is off to relieve subsequent increasing pressure in the fuel line due to diurnal heating thereof.

The invention relates generally to a system and method for testing fuel evaporative systems, and more particularly to a stand-alone tank tester system (and method) for testing vehicle fuel tank integrity. Furthermore, a self-contained calibration tank with switchable leak sizes for calibrating the tank tester to multiple leak sizes is provided. Constant flow and vacuum methods for testing fuel tank integrity are also provided.

The present invention is to provide a fuel injection system which can inject an appropriate amount of fuel from an electronically controlled fuel injection apparatus while returning vapor existing somewhere in the fuel passages, even in the condition that the fuel tank is disposed below the electronically controlled fuel injection apparatus. In the present invention, a fuel tank 10 is disposed below an electronically controlled fuel injection apparatus 12. A fuel reservoir chamber 18 for supplying fuel from the fuel tank 10 is disposed above the electronically controlled fuel injection apparatus 12, and the fuel stored in the fuel reservoir chamber 18 is supplied to the electronically controlled fuel injection apparatus 12 via a fuel supply passage 24. The fuel reservoir chamber 18 and the fuel tank 10 are connected by a first fuel return passage 30 through which vapor is ejected and fuel in the fuel reservoir chamber overflows. A second fuel return passage 36 for returning surplus fuel from the electronically controlled fuel injection apparatus 12 is connected to either of the fuel reservoir chamber 18 and the first fuel return passage 30 at the position above the connecting position of the fuel reservoir chamber 18 and the first fuel return passage 30.
摘要:
Method and arrangement for providing a fuel system for an internal combustion engine (10) that includes a fuel tank (13), a fuel pump (12) and a fuel filter (19) located in a flow duct (14) between the fuel pump and the fuel consumers (11) of the engine. The flow duct (14) includes a valve chamber (20), located downstream of the fuel filter, and having a valve cone (24) movably arranged in the chamber between an upper valve seat (20b) and a lower valve seat (27). The upper part of the valve chamber (20) has an outlet (22) for bleeding to the fuel tank (13). The valve cone (24) is provided with an inner passage (25) with a valve seat (25a) which, under normal fuel pressure, interacts with a bleed cone (26) that is movable in the passage (25).
摘要:
A small watercraft with an emergency shut-off system is provided. The emergency shut-off system is configured to shut off the engine of the small watercraft when the small watercraft is overturned. The emergency shut-off system comprises an electronic control unit that is operatively coupled to an overturn sensor and the engine. The electronic control unit is configured to sense a signal generated by the overturn switch. The electronic control unit is also configured to determine if the signal generated by the overturn switch continues for a period longer than a preset amount of time and to shut off the engine if the signal generated by the overturn switch continues beyond the preset amount of time. The electronic control unit can also be configured to activate a bilge pump when a level of water within the watercraft exceeds a predetermined level.
