Abstract:
1. A fuel intake assembly, comprising: a main tube defining a fuel channel; at least one flapper pivotally secured within said main tube, said at least one flapper closing said fuel channel in a closed position; and a selective nozzle inhibitor proximate said at least one flapper, wherein said selective nozzle inhibitor is configured to allow a first nozzle having a first diameter to move said at least one flapper into an open position, and configured to allow a second nozzle having a second diameter to move said at least one flapper into the open position, wherein the second diameter is greater than the first diameter, wherein said selective nozzle inhibitor is configured to prevent a third nozzle having a third diameter to move said at least one flapper into the open position, wherein the third diameter is less than the first diameter, wherein said selective nozzle inhibitor comprises a funneled ring and a cruciform cone within said main tube, said funneled ring comprising a plunger and a clasp, said clasp configured to securely retain said at least one flapper in the closed position, wherein said funneled ring is configured to allow the first and second nozzles to urge said plunger into said at least one flapper and said clasp away from said at least one flapper to move said at least one flapper into the open position.
