A method for retrofitting an operating fuel delivery system of a vehicle. The method includes obtaining a vehicle having an operating fuel delivery system, which includes an interconnected fuel tank, a fuel pump and an engine. Obtaining an air separator configured to be attached to the fuel delivery system at a connection point wherein the fuel pump and the engine are in direct fluidic communication and also obtaining attachment means for connecting the air separator to the fuel delivery system by fluidically mounting the air separator at the connection point wherein the fuel pump and the engine are secured in direct fluidic communication.
F02M 37/20 - Apparatus or systems for feeding liquid fuel from storage containers to carburettors or fuel-injection apparatus; Arrangements for purifying liquid fuel specially adapted for, or arranged on, internal-combustion engines characterised by means for preventing vapour lock
F02M 37/32 - Arrangements for purifying liquid fuel specially adapted for, or arranged on, internal-combustion engines, e.g. arrangements in the feeding system characterised by filters or filter arrangements
F02M 37/34 - Arrangements for purifying liquid fuel specially adapted for, or arranged on, internal-combustion engines, e.g. arrangements in the feeding system characterised by filters or filter arrangements by the filter structure, e.g. honeycomb, mesh or fibrous
F02M 37/54 - Arrangements for purifying liquid fuel specially adapted for, or arranged on, internal-combustion engines, e.g. arrangements in the feeding system characterised by air purging means
B01D 36/00 - Filter circuits or combinations of filters with other separating devices
F02M 37/22 - Arrangements for purifying liquid fuel specially adapted for, or arranged on, internal-combustion engines, e.g. arrangements in the feeding system
An air separator, fuel delivery system and installation set are provided. The air separator includes a vessel defining a hollow interior chamber having an inlet for receiving fuel from a fuel source and an outlet for fluidic communication with an engine. An air-bleed receives and removes a quantity of undesired gas, which is in fluidic communication with a discharge port. Further, a filter media for contact with fuel received and a conduit for delivering fuel passing through the filter media to the outlet. The air separator removes gas from the fuel prior to passage through the outlet to the engine, with the gas passing through the air-bleed. The air bleed includes a fluidic mixing alcove for passage of the gas through the discharge port. The air separator is between the transfer pump and the engine. Finally, installation sets for mounting the air separator to the fuel delivery system.
