Abstract

A siphoning assembly for a fuel supply system comprises an adaptor body with a pressurized fuel inlet, a suction inlet and an outlet and an outlet passageway connecting the pressurized fuel inlet and the suction inlet to the outlet. A venturi nozzle extends in-line with the pressurized fuel inlet and opens into a suction chamber to create a pressure drop for pulling in fuel from the suction inlet which also opens into the suction chamber. The outlet passageway forming a liquid trap between the suction chamber and the outlet. The siphoning assembly may include a pressure relief valve connected to the pressurized fuel inlet formed as a bypass line of the pressurized fuel supply line. The siphoning assembly may be used in conjunction with an apparatus for modifying a fuel tank to add a fuel pump and baffle assembly which may include one-way check valves.
