Filed:

Feb 25, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/788075

Inventors:

George Arlt - Midland MI, US
Timothy Buscarino - Saginaw MI, US
Elton Fisch - Caro MI, US

International Classification:

B60G001/00

US Classification:

280089120

Abstract:

A boot shield for protecting a boot includes a perimetrically continuous tube member open at first and second ends defining a length thereof; and a plurality of retention features extending radially inwardly from a perimeter defining the tube member, the plurality of retention features configured to resiliently engage a valley defined by a boot convolute of the boot disposed in a hollow cavity defined by the tube member, the plurality of retention features configured to secure the tube member to the boot axially while allowing the tube member to rotate relative to the boot. In an exemplary embodiment, the boot shield is a molded cylinder having integrally molded retention features equidistantly spaced from one another disposed at a one end of the cylinder and an opposite end of the cylinder flared radially outwardly.

Appl. No.:

16/614969

Inventors:

- Tucson AZ, US
Elton J. Fisch - Caro MI, US

International Classification:

F02M 37/10

Abstract:

In at least some implementations, an adapter, for a fuel pump having a casing, has a base having an axis and an opening through which fluid may flow, and multiple tabs connected to the base. The tabs are circumferentially spaced apart with a void between at least part of the tabs, and at least two tabs have a contact portion that extends radially inwardly to define a minimum diameter opening between the tabs. Each contact portion extends along a portion less than all of the surface areas of the radially inner surface of the tabs.

International Classification:

F02M 37/20
F02M 37/02
F02M 37/10
F02M 37/18

Abstract:

In at least some implementations, a fuel supply module includes a reservoir and a fuel pump carried by the reservoir. The reservoir may include a body and a lid that define an internal volume to contain a supply of fuel, and the reservoir may include an inlet through which fuel enters the internal volume and an outlet from which fuel is discharged from the fuel supply module. The fuel pump is carried by the reservoir and has a first inlet communicating with the internal volume to take fuel into the fuel pump from the internal volume and a second inlet spaced above the first inlet relative to the direction of the force of gravity to take fluid or vapors into the fuel pump from the internal volume. The fuel pump includes an outlet from which fluid is discharged for delivery to an engine through the reservoir outlet.

International Classification:

F02M 37/24
F02M 37/46

Abstract:

In at least some implementations, a liquid and vapor separator includes a body and a cover, a fuel inlet, a fuel outlet and a vent passage. A fuel pump has an inlet in communication with the interior volume and an outlet in communication with the fuel outlet. A fuel pressure regulator has an inlet in communication with the fuel pump outlet, an outlet in communication with the interior volume and a valve between the fuel pressure regulator inlet and the fuel pressure regulator outlet. The fuel pressure regulator is carried by the cover and the cover defines at least part of a fuel passage between the fuel pump outlet and the fuel outlet. An inlet valve is received within the interior volume and associated with the fuel inlet. A wall at least partially separates the area of the fuel pump from the area of the inlet valve.

International Classification:

F02M 37/02

US Classification:

2395332

Abstract:

A fuel pump for a fuel system includes a nozzle, a venturi, a pump inlet and a flow controller. The nozzle has an orifice through which fuel is ejected and the venturi is downstream of the nozzle and has an inlet through which fuel discharged from the orifice flows, a passage downstream of the venturi inlet through which fuel flows to create a drop in pressure in the area of the venturi, and an outlet through which fuel is discharged from the venturi. Fuel is drawn through the pump inlet fuel by the drop in the pressure created in the area of the venturi and the flow controller is downstream of the outlet and has a chamber in which fuel from the venturi outlet is received. The flow controller causes fuel to fill the venturi to ensure performance of the fuel pump.
