Abstract:
1. A fuel collection device for a fuel tank inlet conduit of the type having a conduit end for receiving a fuel nozzle, and a screw cap adapted for selectively sealing the conduit end, the fuel collection device comprising: a liquid-impervious, elongated conduit having an open proximal end and an open distal end, the distal end adapted for insertion into the conduit end of the fuel tank inlet, the proximal end adapted for receiving the fuel nozzle therein, the conduit adapted for conveying fuel between the fuel nozzle and the fuel tank inlet conduit, the proximal end of the conduit including an overflow aperture therethrough; and a hollow chamber fixed about the proximal end of the conduit and adapted to receive liquids flowing out of the overflow aperture of the conduit therein, the chamber further having a pour spout; whereby with the distal end of the conduit fixed within the fuel tank inlet conduit and the fuel nozzle inserted into the proximal end of the conduit and dispensing fuel, fuel is conveyed between the fuel nozzle and the fuel tank inlet conduit, any fuel leaking past the fuel nozzle towards the proximal end flowing through the overflow aperture and into the chamber, thereafter excess fuel contained in the chamber may be poured out of the chamber at the pour spout.
