Claims6
A universal surrogate fuel pump system for interim fuel delivery to an internal combustion engine at one of a plurality of predetermined pressures comprising:
- (1) a portable fuel container;
- (2) a fuel pump operably connected to receive fuel from the portable fuel container,
- said fuel pump being electrically powered and having means for receiving electrical power;
- and
- (3) a selectably adjustable outlet fuel pressure regulator operably connected to receive fuel from the fuel pump,
- said regulator having means for selectably adjusting the outlet fuel pressure;
- and
- (4) an outlet fuel line having an inlet end operably connected to the fuel pressure regulator and a plurality of outlet ends, each of the plurality of outlet end having a fitting for reversible attachment to the fuel system of at least one of a plurality of internal combustion engines, each said fitting having a one way valve that is normally closed and which is opened by attachment to the fuel system, whereby, said fuel pump system can be employed to deliver fuel at one of the plurality of predetermined discharge pressures to the fuel system of an internal combustion engine of any one of a plurality of vehicles satisfying a distinct fuel pressure requirement of one of said plurality of vehicles.
A universal surrogate fuel pump system for interim fuel delivery to a fuel system of an internal combustion engine at one of a plurality of predetermined discharge pressures comprising:
- a. a portable fuel container;
- b. a fuel pump operably connected to receive fuel from the portable fuel container,
- said fuel pump being electrically powered and having means for receiving electrical power;
- and
- c. an outlet fuel line having an inlet end operably connected to the fuel pump and a plurality of outlet ends, each of the plurality of outlet ends having a fitting for reversible attachment to the fuel system of at least one of a plurality of internal combustion engines, each said fitting having a distinctive flow restrictor for generating a specific discharge pressure fulfilling a distinct fuel pressure requirement of the at least one of a plurality of internal combustion engines.
A universal surrogate fuel pump system for interim fuel delivery to a fuel system of an internal combustion engine at one of a plurality of predetermined discharge pressures comprising:
- a. a portable fuel container;
- b. a fuel pump operably connected to receive fuel from the portable fuel container,
- said fuel pump being electrically powered and having means for receiving electrical power;
- and
- c. means for selectably adjusting the outlet fuel pressure for generating a plurality of specific discharge pressures, each of which fulfills a distinct fuel pressure requirement of the at least one of a plurality of internal combustion engines comprising one of:
- (1)a selectably adjustable outlet fuel pressure regulator operably connected to receive fuel from the fuel pump,
- (2)said fuel pump having a variable head discharge capability which is suitably programed,
- (3)a manually adjustable outlet fuel pressure regulator operably connected to receive fuel from the fuel pump and means for determining the outlet fuel pressure, and
- (4)an outlet fuel line having an inlet end operably connected to the fuel pump and a plurality of outlet ends, each of the plurality of outlet ends having a fitting for reversible attachment to the fuel system of at least one of a plurality of internal combustion engines, each said fitting having a distinctive flow restrictor and a normally closed valve that is opened upon attachment,
- whereby, said fuel pump system can be employed to deliver fuel at one of the plurality of predetermined discharge pressures to the fuel system of an internal combustion engine of any one of a plurality of vehicles satisfying a distinct fuel pressure requirement of one of said plurality of vehicles.
