Zusammenfassung: | A fuel filter F at a fuel dispensing station is enclosed by a semi-cylindrical housing 12 and end cap 11, which prevent the filter from being unscrewed from its mounting until the end cap has been removed from the housing. Then cap 11 is held to catch any fuel spilt into housing 12 as the filter F is unscrewed. In Figs. 3A, 3B (not shown), cap 11 is larger and has arms for suspending it from housing 12 to catch fuel. Housing 12 is best secured, by integral or separate means to a raised boss on which filter F mounts (Fig. 2A not shown). If there is no raised boss, an adaptor (Figs. 5A, 5B not shown) is fitted to a flat filter-mounting surface and effectively forms one. |
