A filter cartridge support housing is provided with a peripheral skirt which extends below or beyond the interface between the filter cartridge and its support housing to deflect or divert fuel or vapor, which may escape through the interface, in a desired direction.

Fluid filter cartridge support housing

A dispenser for delivering different grades of gasoline through a single nozzle at each fueling position, includes a pair of hoses connected to the nozzle, one of which hoses is used for selectively delivering high octane gasoline, and the other of which hoses is for selectively delivering either low octane or mid octane gasoline through the nozzle, whereby a control system is programmed for monitoring the dispensing of low octane gasoline relative to the dispensing of mid octane gasoline, for injecting a sufficient quantity of high octane gasoline through the nozzle at the initiator of a mid octane dispensing cycle for compensating for low octane fuel remaining in the other hose from an immediately prior low octane dispensing cycle relative to a mid octane dispensing cycle.

Multi-fuel dispenser with one nozzle per fueling position

A universal hose adapter includes an upper member for permanent mounting on the piping housing of a blending type gasoline dispenser, and a plurality of lower members each mateable to the upper member, and each configured for permitting retrofitting of the dispenser to accept a particular hose configuration, in modifying the dispenser system. The upper member includes a vapor return outlet port for connection to the dispenser's vapor return line, if any; a vapor return outlet port; a plurality of gasoline input ports for connection to gasoline lines of the dispenser carrying different grades of gasoline, respectively; and a plurality of gasoline outlet ports associated with each gasoline inlet port, respectively. Each lower member includes appropriate ports along an upper face for coupling to associated one's of the ports along a lower face of the upper member, for connecting the latter via internal passsageways in the lower member to hose connecting ports along a lower face thereof permitting coupling to a predetermined hose configuration, for either a desired non-vapor recovery or vapor recovery blending type dispenser arrangement.

Universal hose adapter for gasoline pump

In a coaxial hose system for a fuel distribution system, a product delivery hose is centrally located within a vapor recovery hose, whereby the area between the product and vapor hoses provides a return path for vapors developed at a nozzle during refueling of a vehicle. A venturi pump is located in the product hose, and operable over a range of flow rate of the fuel through the product hose, for sucking fuel back into the product hose from an area of the vapor path where fuel may accumulate due to backflow from the nozzle, thereby substantially insuring a clear vapor path and more complete delivery of metered fuel.

Venturi liquid evacuator system for maintaining clear vapor path in

One end of a flexible hose is inserted into a vapor recovery hose in an area where liquid fuel may accumulate, and the other end of the hose is connected to a pump, for pumping the fuel out of the vapor recovery hose to maintain a clear vapor path.
