US 12,435,688 B2 · Fuel transfer bypass tube and system

Abstract

A fuel transfer bypass tube and system are provided. The fuel transfer bypass system utilizes a fuel bypass tube and a fuel supply pump to provide fuel to an engine without requiring modification to the engine or preexisting system. The fuel transfer bypass system includes multiple fuel lines that draw fuel from a source to pass through a filter and the fuel bypass tube. The fuel bypass tube includes a single monolithic structure able to reliably transfer the fuel under pressure through an inlet port to an outlet port via a channel. The fuel is delivered to the engine through a line secured to the outlet port. Each inlet and outlet port on the bypass tube includes an annular channel that receives O-rings to form a fluid seal with the respective mounting system. The bypass pump draws electrical power from the engine through a connector and an adaptor without any additional modifications.

Dependent claims

A fuel transfer bypass tube configured to be interchangeable with an original engine manufacturer fuel tube for supplying fuel to an engine, comprising:

a cylinder formed from a single monolithic member;
the cylinder comprises an inlet port at an open first end and an outlet port at an open second end, wherein the open first end is in fluid communication with the open second end via a channel to transfer fuel toward the engine;
wherein the inlet port is adapted to engage with an open end of a first line from a fuel source and the outlet port is adapted to engage with an open end of a second line leading to the engine in an in-use configuration;
wherein the in-use configuration, a fuel is adapted to transfer from the first line through the cylinder to the second line to supply the engine.
