Abstract
A gas removal system includes an interior baffle with an outside surface having flow channels and a central fluid receiving chamber. A membrane fiber bundle with an inside surface is placed outwardly of the interior baffle. The member fiber bundle is formed of fibers that allow the passage of gas through an outer wall, but resist the passage of fluid with the inside surface of the fiber bundle partially contacting the outside surface of the baffle. The interior baffle and the fiber bundle extend between axial ends. A changed diameter portion is intermediate the axial ends wherein each of the outside surface of the interior baffle and the inside surface of the membrane fiber bundle change in diameter in a first direction and then return in a second direction changing diameter in an opposite radial direction from the first direction, and such that the changed diameter portion is intermediate the axial ends. A fuel system is also disclosed.
