Abstract
A fuel line pressure testing access device having a main body adapted for connection to an outflow fuel line, interchangeable adaptor caps adapted for connection to an inflow fuel line, and a fuel filter, where the main body is provided with a valve port and test valve for connection to a pressure testing apparatus or other testing or servicing equipment.
Claims12
A fuel line access device comprising a main body having fuel line outflow connector means to join said main body to a fuel outflow line, a fuel outlet conduit, an open interior, a valve port, a test valve mounted in said valve port for connection to a testing or servicing apparatus, fuel line inflow connector means to join said main body to a fuel inflow line, an internal conduit, and a fuel filter disposed within said main body.
A fuel line access device comprising:
- (A) a main body having fuel line outflow connector means to join said main body to a fuel outflow line, a fuel outlet conduit, an open interior, an open end with cap connector means to matingly join an adaptor cap, a valve port and a test valve mounted within said valve port for connection to a testing or servicing apparatus;
- (B) an adaptor cap joined to said main body and having fuel line inflow connector means to join said adaptor cap to a fuel inflow line, an internal conduit, body connector means to matingly join said adaptor cap to said main body;
- and
- (C) a fuel filter disposed within said main body, whereby fuel entering said adaptor cap passes through said fuel filter into said open interior and through said fuel outlet conduit.
A fuel line access device comprising:
- (A) a main body having fuel line outflow connector means to join said main body to a fuel outflow line, a fuel outlet conduit, an open interior, an open end with cap connector means to matingly join a first or a second adaptor cap, a valve port and a test valve mounted within said valve port for connection to a testing or servicing apparatus;
- (B) a first adaptor cap joinable to said main body and having fuel line inflow connector means to join said adaptor cap to a fuel inflow line, an internal conduit, and body connector means to matingly join said adaptor cap to said main body;
- (C) a second adaptor cap joinable to said main body and having fuel line inflow connector means to join said adaptor cap to a fuel inflow line, an internal conduit, and body connector means to matingly join said adaptor cap to said main body, where said second adaptor cap fuel line inflow connector means is different from said first adaptor cap fuel line inflow means;
- (D) a fuel filter disposed within said main body, whereby fuel entering said adaptor cap passes through said fuel filter into said open interior and through said fuel outlet conduit;
- where either said first adaptor cap or said second adaptor cap is joined to said main body.
