    Abstract: An emptying device for a medium line of a vehicle, such as a recreational vehicle, can be connected between a medium tank of the vehicle and the medium line to be emptied. A first non-return valve is arranged in a first connecting line between the medium tank and the medium line to be emptied and permits a flow of the medium from the medium tank into the medium line, but blocks a reverse flow. A second connecting line opens into the first connecting line downstream of the first non-return valve. The second connecting line, for emptying the medium line, can be connected to a pressure medium source and can be acted upon by the pressure medium in order to empty the medium line. There is also described a medium installation of a vehicle and a corresponding vehicle.

    Abstract: A product delivery vehicle system includes a product delivery vehicle with at least one tank compartment. The system includes an internal valve fluidly coupled to the tank compartment, a control valve, and an air system comprising a main air valve and a solenoid valve fluidly coupled to the main air valve and to the internal valve. The solenoid valve is operable to open and close the internal valve. The system includes an electronic control unit communicatively coupled to the control valve, the main air valve, and the solenoid valve. The system includes a tank tag reader operable to read a tank tag and transmit a tank tag indicator associated with the tank tag, the tank tag indicator indicative of a stored liquid type in a distribution tank. The electronic control unit may maintain the internal valve closed and the control valve locked when a product type mismatch is detected.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for offloading cargo from a tank trailer, which has at least interior compartments, to one or more discharge points. The apparatus includes two or more T-connectors each of which is connected, via a valve, to an outlet of a respective one of the interior compartments of the tank trailer. Each T-connector has an axis defined by a pair of opposing arms and, contrary to conventional apparatus and methods, the T-connectors are positioned with their axes oriented perpendicularly or obliquely relative to the length of the tank trailer. Additionally, for each T-connector, a discharge conduit is connected to one of the opposing arms so that all of the discharge conduits extend from the same side of the tank trailer, perpendicularly or obliquely relative to the length of the tank trailer. A blower conduit is also connected to each T-connector, to the other of the pair of opposing arms, and extend from the other side the tank trailer, opposite the discharge conduits. The blower conduits are also connected to at least one blower which provides air flow and pressure. The method involves providing power to the blower(s), and opening the valves to cause the cargo to flow from each of the interior compartments and form multiple flow streams which flow concurrently, along multiple flow paths, to the one or more discharge points. This apparatus and method reduce the time necessary to accomplish offloading the cargo, among other advantages.

    Abstract: A system for reclaiming fuel from a vehicle fleet is comprised of a trailer capable of defueling multiple vehicles simultaneously that operates in conjunction with a remote computing device. The remote computing device communicates bi-directionally with an on-board computing device located in a combustion engine vehicle, where the on-board computing device is directed by the remote computing device to cause the vehicle's fuel pump to operate without starting the vehicle's engine. The remote computing device also queries for and receives data about the vehicle from the on-board computing device, such as the Vehicle Identification Number, diagnostic information about the vehicle, and/or data about how the vehicle is being driven and transmits such data to at least one second computing device in communication with the remote computing device.
