Abstract:
1. A fitting that equalizes pressure between fuel flows through an opening in a fuel tank, comprising: a body, generally elongated, having a length, a longitudinal axis, and two opposite ends including a first end and a second end; an inlet proximate said first end and perpendicular to said length; an outlet opposite said inlet and coaxial with said inlet, said inlet and said outlet mutually communicating through said body; a return port proximate said first end, said return port being coaxial with the longitudinal axis of said body, said return port intersecting said inlet and said outlet in a common space; and, a vent communicating with said return port, said vent positioning opposite said inlet proximate said second end; wherein said inlet is adapted to secure to one opening of a tank, said fitting allows for withdrawal of fuel from the tank through said inlet and then said outlet, said fitting allows for return of fuel to the tank through said return port and said inlet, and said fitting dissipates any pressure imbalances through said vent.
