20130175268 | INSERT FOR A CAPLESS FUEL TANK FILLER NECK TO TEST A FUEL TANK FOR LEAKS - A filler neck insert to be removably attached to a capless fuel tank filler neck of a motor vehicle so that a source of pressure or a source of vacuum can be coupled to the fuel tank in order to test the fuel tank for leaks. The filler neck insert includes a hollow tubular body to be received through the open fuel-mouth and suspended within the throat of the fuel tank filler neck and a base extending across the tubular body. An adapter which is connected to the filler neck insert has an outer rim mated in surrounding sealing engagement with the base of the insert and an inlet tube connected to the source of pressure or vacuum. Accordingly, a flow path is established from the pressure or vacuum source to the fuel tank by way of the adapter, the insert and the filler neck. | 07-11-2013 |
20140069174 | OIL TRANSPORTING VAPORIZER FOR A SMOKE GENERATING APPARATUS TO DETECT LEAKS IN A FLUID SYSTEM - An oil transporting vaporizer for a smoke generating apparatus to generate smoke to be supplied to a closed system to be tested for leaks. In a preferred embodiment, the vaporizer includes a hollow tube that is manufactured from a high temperature, fire resistant, porous material (e.g., ceramic). The vaporizer stands in a reservoir of oil such that some of the porous tube is filled with oil from the reservoir. A heater wire surrounds the outside of the porous tube above the oil within the tube. A gas (e.g., air) is blown into the porous tube and towards the oil to cause a mixture of air and gas to move through the tube. Because of its porosity, the air/oil mixture permeates the tube in the vicinity of the heater wire so as to be vaporized into smoke when the heater wire is energized. | 03-13-2014 |

20140159360 | ADAPTER FOR A CAPLESS FUEL TANK FILLER NECK TO TEST A FUEL TANK FOR LEAKS - A filler neck adapter to be inserted through the open fuel mouth of a capless filler neck of a fuel tank of a motor vehicle. The adapter has a hollow flow body to create a continuous flow path between a source of pressure or vacuum and the fuel tank to enable the fuel tank to he tested for leaks. A resilient seal surrounds the flow body of the adapter so as to lie between movable and stationary seal stops. A force-generating member is moved along the flow body to push the movable seal, stop and the seal towards the stationary seal stop. Accordingly, the seal is compressed between the movable and stationary seal stops so as to bulge outwardly towards and thereby create an air-tight seal against the fuel mouth of the filler neck. | 06-12-2014 |

20100326567 | Universal adapter for a fuel tank filler neck to test a fuel tank for lakes - A universal adapter to be detachably connected to the round fuel cap retaining lip of most any fuel tank filler neck so that smoke (i.e., a vapor) under pressure can be delivered to the fuel tank of a motor vehicle to test the fuel system for leaks. When connected, the universal adapter lies entirely outside the fuel tank filler neck. The universal adapter includes a circular ring-shaped rim that is manufactured from a flexible material having a spring memory. The flexible rim of the universal adapter is stretched and attached in surrounding sealing engagement against the fuel cap retaining lip of the filler neck. The universal adapter also includes a vapor inlet tube to which the nozzle of a vapor supply hose is attached. According to one embodiment, smoke produced by a smoke-generating machine pressurizes the fuel tank by way of a vapor delivery path which includes the vapor inlet tube of the universal adapter and the fuel tank filler neck of the motor vehicle. | 12-30-2010 |
