Claims14
Carburetor drain apparatus for diverting fuel contaminants away from the fuel jet into a remote trap, comprising:
- a float bowl for providing fuel to the fuel jet of the carburetor, said float bowl having a floor which slopes, said floor having its lowest point substantially remote from the fuel jet inlet area;
- a diverter plug located in said floor of said float bowl located proximate the fuel jet, said diverter plug having an upper surface which slopes to divert fuel contaminants away from the fuel jet;
- collection trap means located proximate said lowest point of said float bowl floor, for receiving said fuel contaminants, said collection trap means having sufficient volume to retain said fuel contaminants.
In a carburetor, a carburetor drain apparatus for diverting sedimentary fuel contaminants away from the fuel jet inlet area, into a collection means, comprising:
- a float bowl for providing fuel to the fuel jet of the carburetor, said float bowl having a floor which slopes, said floor having its lowest point substantially remote from the fuel jet inlet area;
- a diverter plug in the floor of said float bowl located substantially near the fuel jet inlet area, the upper surface of said diverter plug which slopes so that its lowest point is remote of the fuel jet inlet area;
- a collection means at the lowest point of said float bowl floor, said collection means having sufficient volume to retain said sedimentary fuel contaminants.
