Abstract:
1. A fuel equalization system, comprising: a filter box for accepting an air stream and a fuel stream, said air stream and said fuel stream mixing to form a mixed air/fuel stream; a blower; a vaned impeller in fluid communication with said blower and having an inlet for accepting said mixed air/fuel stream from said filter box prior to said mixed air/fuel stream being presented to said blower; and a substantially planar baffle disposed across the inlet of said impeller in the path of said mixed air/fuel stream, said baffle being fixed in position and extending through said inlet and into said impeller, wherein said baffle permits an unobstructed and simultaneous flow of said mixed air/fuel stream on opposing sides of said baffle; and wherein vanes of said vaned impeller and said baffle are configured to reduce the velocity and rotation of any redirected air/fuel stream passing therethrough.
