Abstract
An engine fuel economizer device connected or connectable to establish an electrical path between an electrical system of an engine, preferably a d.c. battery and a starter motor or a charging alternator of an engine, preferably an internal combustion engine. The device, in one aspect thereof, includes a coil of conductive hollow tubing having a plurality of complete turns or loops formed therealong, is positionable over and around a section of fuel line which extends from a fuel tank to the engine. In another aspect of this disclosure, the coil device is prepositioned over and along a length of nonconductive tubing which is spliceable into the fuel line after a section of fuel line is sectioned and removed. Various additional aspects position the device in close proximity to the flow of fuel from the fuel tank to the engine.
Claims13
An engine fuel economizer device comprising:
- a single coil of hollow conductive tubing having a plurality of closely wound loops, the ends of said coil being configured for connection, or connected to, an engine starter and an alternator of an electrical power and charging system of the engine;
- said coil being affixed in close proximity to the flow of fuel from a fuel tank to the engine;
- electrical current passing from a battery of the system into the engine starter and through the coil in series before the engine starts, current flowing from the alternator of the system through the coil when the engine has been started.
An engine fuel economizer device comprising:
- a coil of hollow conductive tubing having a plurality of closely wound loops, the ends of said coil being configured for operable connection, or operably connected to, an engine starter and an alternator of an electrical power and charging system of the engine;
- said coil being affixed in close proximity to the flow of fuel from a fuel tank to the engine;
- electrical current passing from a battery of the system into the engine starter and through the coil in series before the engine starts, current flowing from the alternator of the system through the coil when the engine has been started.
An engine fuel economizer device consisting of:
- a coil of hollow conductive tubing having a plurality of closely wound loops, the ends of said coil being configured for connection, or connected to, an engine starter and an alternator of an electrical power and charging system of the engine;
- said coil being affixed in close proximity to the flow of fuel from a fuel tank to the engine;
- electrical current passing from a battery of the system into the engine starter and through the coil in series before the engine starts, current flowing from the alternator of the system through the coil when the engine has been started.
