Patent attributes
The present embodiments provide an adapter which may be utilized with traditional in-tank fuel pumps to convert the pump from a first style to a second, alternative style. The instant embodiment utilizes an adapter which slides on the end of an existing fuel pump type and provides indexing for proper alignment and fuel communication. The adapter also allows connection of alternate type of port or fitting in order to allow connection with more desirable type of fuel pickup system. The adapter is then clamped onto the end of the pump once the adapter and pump are indexed to proper alignment for sealing and fuel communication. The adapter may also include a coupling for a fitting to connect additional fuel delivery and/or filtration parts to the pump.
