==FUEL CAP ASSEMBLY WITH CYLINDRICAL COUPLER - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240043179 titled 'FUEL CAP ASSEMBLY WITH CYLINDRICAL COUPLER

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a fuel cap assembly that includes a fuel cap, a pipe stub, a sensor element, a fuel tube, and a cylindrical coupler. The fuel cap has a pipe stub that extends from it and defines a first internal passage. The sensor element and fuel tube are adjacent to each other and both extend from the fuel cap through the first internal passage. The cylindrical coupler, made of elastomer, defines a second internal passage that extends between an inlet port and an outlet port. The inlet port has a first inner diameter that can receive the pipe stub, while the outlet port has a second inner diameter that differs from the first inner diameter.

* The fuel cap assembly includes a fuel cap, pipe stub, sensor element, fuel tube, and cylindrical coupler.
* The pipe stub extends from the fuel cap and defines a first internal passage.
* The sensor element and fuel tube extend from the fuel cap through the first internal passage.
* The cylindrical coupler is made of elastomer and defines a second internal passage.
* The second internal passage extends between an inlet port and an outlet port.
* The inlet port has a first inner diameter that can receive the pipe stub.
* The outlet port has a second inner diameter that differs from the first inner diameter.

Potential applications of this technology:
* Fuel cap assemblies for vehicles or machinery that require accurate fuel level sensing.
* Fuel systems that need a secure and reliable connection between the fuel cap and other components.
* Industries that rely on fuel storage and distribution, such as automotive, aviation, and marine.

Problems solved by this technology:
* Ensures a tight and secure connection between the fuel cap and other components, preventing fuel leakage.
* Provides accurate fuel level sensing, allowing for efficient fuel management and preventing fuel-related issues.
* Simplifies the assembly process of fuel systems by integrating multiple components into a single assembly.

Benefits of this technology:
* Improved safety by preventing fuel leakage and minimizing the risk of accidents or environmental damage.
* Enhanced fuel management and efficiency, leading to cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
* Simplified assembly process, reducing manufacturing time and costs.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a fuel cap assembly according to an example of the present disclosure includes a fuel cap and a pipe stub that extends from the fuel cap and defines a first internal passage. a sensor element and a fuel tube are adjacent to each other and both extend from the fuel cap through the first internal passage. a cylindrical coupler is composed of an elastomer and defines a second internal passage that extends between an inlet port and an outlet port. the inlet port has a first inner diameter and the pipe stub is receivable into the inlet port. the outlet port has a second inner diameter that differs from the first inner diameter.
