Abstract
A housing for a flexible fuel sensor and method of use is disclosed. The housing comprises of a first chamber, a second chamber, and bypass passageway extending therebetween. The first chamber is configured to receive and hold the first conduit of the flexible fuel sensor. The second chamber is configured to receive and hold the second conduit of the flexible fuel sensor. The bypass passageway is configured to permit fuel to flow therethrough and thereout.
Claims2
A housing for a flexible fuel sensor, comprising:
- a pair of conduits;
- a first chamber configured to receive and hold a first conduit of the pair of conduits of the flexible fuel sensor, the first chamber having an inlet configured to permit fuel to flow therethrough;
- a second chamber configured to receive and hold a second conduit of the pair of conduits of the flexible fuel sensor, the second chamber having an outlet configured to permit fuel to flow thereout;
- and
- a bypass passageway extending between the first chamber and the second chamber, the bypass passageway having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is configured to permit fuel to flow therethrough, wherein the second end is configured to permit fuel to flow thereout.
