Further the invention relates to an assembly of an accessory plate and such an adaptor.
Abstract:
In a tank (2) for containing liquidized fuel such as LPG, a fuel pump (3) is provided for pumpmg fuel to a user. This fuel pump (3) is incorporated ina buffer vessel (5) which is positioned near the bottom of the tank. The bottom of the buffer vessel (5) is made from flexible material which is able to adapt to the shape of the bottom. The buffer vessel (5) is pushed against said bottom, as a result of which the volume of the tank (2) is used as efficiently as possible. A flexible bottom can be obtained by producing it from a rubber-like material. Preferably, a stance is created between the bottom of the buffer vessel (5) and the bottom of the tank (2) with three or more legs. A filter (9) is provided in the buffer vessel (5) and the buffer vessel (5) is connected to an accessories plate (15) on which various connections are provided and which can be introduced into the tank (2) as a unit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fuel system and method for a combustion engine with direct injection. The system comprises at least one high pressure fuel line connected to an injection device of the combustion engine for the direct injection of fuel. A first fuel is supplied to the node by a first fuel supply unit. The first fuel supply unit comprises at least a high-pressure fuel pump having an inlet connected to a first fuel storage for a liquid fuel, such as gasoline, and having an outlet connected to the node of the high pressure fuel line. A second fuel supply unit supplies a different fuel to the node in the high pressure fuel line, the second fuel supply comprising at least a second fuel storage for liquefied vapor fuel, such as liquid petrol gas (LPG), and a liquefied vapor fuel pump.
Abstract:
Injector assembly comprising two or more injectors. Each injector comprises a housing with an inlet side and an outlet side and a delivery duct. The housing is designed to accommodate an electrical metering valve. According to the invention, each housing is provided with coupling means, such as engagement projections or lips for connection with another housing. Such a connection is preferably realized by pushing two injectors against one another and rotating them. In this manner, an injector assembly consisting of a number of injectors can be constructed in a simple and inexpensive way, depending on the required number. A safety shut-off valve can also be provided with the same coupling. According to a particular embodiment, flexible line means are also present which extend from the delivery duct of the injectors to, for example, an inlet manifold of a combustion engine.
