Abstract: The present disclosure relates to spark igniter. The igniter includes a terminal end, main body, a firing end, and a fuel connector. The fuel connector allows a supply of fuel to be delivered to the firing end of the igniter. In one embodiment, the firing end includes a central electrode positioned within an insulator and a series of peripherally located electrodes. The insulator preferably includes a polygonal shaped bore for securing the central electrode. Fuel from the fuel connector is delivered to firing end of the igniter and is dispensed from the corners of the polygonal shaped bore. Once dispensed, the fuel combines with air to form a fuel mixture. The fuel mixture is converted into a plasma by applying a high voltage to the electrodes of the firing end. The plasma then combusts the main fuel supply with an associated combustion chamber.

Abstract: The mounting structure of a fuel device is for mounting the fuel device, which includes a plurality of components, on a baffle plate for suppressing waving of liquid fuel stored in a fuel tank. One of the components of the fuel device is integrally formed, as a mounting portion, with the baffle plate. The remaining components of the fuel device are mounted, as a mounted portion, on the mounting portion of the baffle plate.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for refilling a fuel tank devoid of fuel vapors. In one example, a method may include, prior to an upcoming refueling event, conditioning a fuel vapor-less fuel tank by operating a fuel pump. Operation of the fuel pump may agitate and vaporize the residual fuel in the fuel tank.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel system (20) for an engine (4) of a marine vessel (1). The fuel system (20) comprises a settling tank (110) for cleaning fuel for the engine (4), and a service tank (130) for storing fuel for the engine (4). The fuel system (20) also comprises a filtration system (220) comprising a first filter (222) through which fuel flowing from the settling tank (110) to the service tank (130) passes. The filtration system (220) is configured to be operable in a first mode in which the first filter (222) removes contaminants from fuel flowing from the settling tank (110) to the service tank (130), and in a second mode in which fuel flows from the service tank (130) through the first filter (222) to dislodge the contaminants from the first filter (222).

Abstract: A fluid injection device includes a valve body of a cylindrical shape and a valve member, which is movably accommodated in the valve body and which has a valve surface portion to be seated on or separated from a valve seat portion formed in an inside of the valve body. The valve member has an inside passage through which urea aqueous solution flows and a communication port, which is opened at an outer peripheral surface of the valve member and at a position of an upstream side of the valve surface portion in a flow direction of air. An annular fluid passage, through which the air flows, is formed between an inner peripheral surface of the valve body and the outer peripheral surface of the valve member. The communication port is connected to the annular fluid passage at a connecting passage portion. A cross-sectional passage area of the annular fluid passage at the connecting passage portion is smaller than a cross-sectional passage area of the annular fluid passage at an upstream-side passage portion thereof.

Abstract: A filling device includes a filling pipe to extend into a liquid container for fluidic connection to the liquid container, a filling head operatively connected to the filling pipe, a venting pipe to vent the liquid container, the venting pipe having an open venting pipe section at an end thereof, and an indicator member configured to visually indicate a filling condition of the liquid container. During a filling sequence of the liquid container in a condition in which the liquid container is not full of liquid, the indicator member is to be impinged upon by outflowing air in the venting pipe at a force such that the indicator member assumes a first recognizable condition. During a filling sequence of the liquid container in a condition in which the liquid container is full of liquid, the indicator member is not impinged on by outflowing air in the venting pipe at a force such that the indicator member assumes a second recognizable condition.

Abstract: An in-tank fuel pump assembly and mounting system is disclosed which may be configured for mounting inside a fuel tank. The assembly includes a pump housing, pump mounted to the housing, and pressure relief valve. The housing may comprise upper and lower pump housing units coupled together. The upper housing unit is configured for mounting to a tank opening, which in one implementation may be the fuel fill opening. The lower housing unit extends into the tank to approximately the bottom of the tank. A fuel fill fluid pathway is created through the housing for adding fuel to the tank while the pump assembly remains in situ. The upper housing unit may include a removable fuel cap. The pump housing may include an integral vapor trap.

Abstract: A suction filter includes a filter element disposed in a fuel tank and filtering a stored fuel that is a fuel stored in the fuel tank by allowing the stored fuel passing the filter element into an inner space, a dividing wall element disposed to divide the inner space into a first space, into which a filtered fuel that is the fuel filtered by the filter element flows, and a second space, to which an intake port drawing in the filtered fuel is opened, and enclosing the first space together with the filter element and enclosing the second space together with the filter element, and a passage element including an inflow port opened to the second space and an outflow port to which an intake pressure is applied by the intake port and defining a flow passage through which filtered fuel flows from the inflow port toward the outflow port.

Abstract: A fuel supply device includes a sub-tank, a fuel pump, a transfer jet pump, a reduction valve, and a partition wall. The sub-tank is disposed within the fuel tank and forms a container configured to store fuel. The fuel pump is disposed in the sub-tank and is configured to pump fuel from the sub-tank. The transfer jet pump is configured to pump fuel from the fuel tank into the sub-tank. The reduction valve generates heat during operation. The partition wall divides an interior of the sub-tank into a first chamber and a second chamber. The fuel pump is disposed in the first chamber. Fuel passing through the reduction valve is discharged into the second chamber.

Abstract: Fuel management system for enhanced operation of a spark ignition gasoline engine. Injectors inject an anti-knock agent such as ethanol directly into a cylinder. It is preferred that the direct injection occur after the inlet valve is closed. It is also preferred that stoichiometric operation with a three way catalyst be used to minimize emissions. In addition, it is also preferred that the anti-knock agents have a heat of vaporization per unit of combustion energy that is at least three times that of gasoline.
