Patent abstract
A quick connect fuel hose connector for connecting an LP fuel hose to a threaded inlet fitting on a vehicle or appliance fuel tank comprises an annular body having an inlet for fuel at an inner end and an outlet for fuel at a recessed opening in an outer end. Latch members pivotally mounted in slots on opposite sides of the body engage and latch the connector to the fuel tank inlet fitting when the connector is fitted over the inlet fitting. A lost motion spring seal maintains a tight seal between the connector and the inlet fitting. A replaceable nose seal on an outlet valve in the connector provides an improved sealing connection between the connector outlet valve and the fuel tank inlet valve.
