A fuel dispensing system, parts therefor and methods for making the same are provided, the system having a venturi section for removing liquid from a normal drape area of a hose assembly of the system, the venturi section having an inlet unit that is positioned in a vapor recovery fluid passage of the hose assembly generally at the actual drape area of the hose assembly even when the actual drape area is disposed intermediate the normal drape area and a dispensing nozzle or is disposed intermediate the normal drape area and the source of liquid fuel as well as when the actual drape area is disposed generally at the normal drape area.

Fuel dispensing system, parts therefor and methods of making the same

Fuel dispensing system and methods of making the same

A hose assembly having opposite ends and having a first fluid passage therein for conveying a volatile liquid in one direction from one of the ends thereof to a container adjacent the other of the ends thereof and a second fluid passage therein for returning the vapors of the volatile liquid fuel from the container to the one end thereof, the assembly comprising a flexible inner hose having an outer peripheral surface and defining one of the fluid passages therein, a flexible outer hose having an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface and being disposed around the inner hose, the inner peripheral surface of the outer hose and the outer peripheral surface of the inner hose defining the other of the fluid passages therebetween, the outer hose comprising a corrugated tube that has the corrugations thereof extending throughout the entire length thereof, and a cuff secured to one of the ends of the outer hose, the cuff covering the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of that end of the outer hose that is secured thereto.

Hose assembly and method of making the same

Concentric hose coupling with cuff assembly surrounding an end of the

A fuel dispensing system has a venturi section for removing liquid from a normal drape area of a hose assembly of the system and the venturi section has an inlet unit that is positioned in a vapor recovery fluid passage of the hose assembly generally at the actual drape area of the hose assembly even when the actual drape area is disposed intermediate the normal drape area and a nozzle or is disposed intermediate the normal drape area and the source of liquid fuel as well as when the actual drape area is disposed generally at the normal drape area, the inlet unit comprising a tube unit interconnected to the venturi section and having a plurality of inlets respectively disposed in different axial positions in the vapor recovery fluid passage along the length thereof.
