International Classification:

B65B 1/04

US Classification:

141 98, 141 65, 141 67, 141 92, 141231

Abstract:

An engine cooling system liquid insertion and removal system has an adapter disposed in a vehicle radiator service opening via which old coolant is removed from the engine system by partial vacuum applied to an old coolant container via a conduit. New coolant is introduced via the adapter by atmospheric pressure from a portable container. Conduits interconnect the engine cooling system, the old and new coolant containers, and a source of partial vacuum applied to conduits.

8/198533

Inventors:

Robert E. Flynn - Covina CA

International Classification:

F02B 7700

US Classification:

123198A

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for removing internal carbon deposits and related residue and contaminants from fuel injected and carbureted internal combustion engine systems by delivering fuel to the inlet of the engine fuel pump while the engine is cranked by battery power to start the engine and then delivering an engine conditioning fuel, which is a mixture of normal engine fuel and a carbon cleaning agent, to the fuel pump inlet so that the conditioning fuel passes through and removes carbon deposits from the engine fuel injectors or carburetor, as the case may be, and is then combusted in the engine cylinders to power the engine. The effectiveness of the carbon cleaning operation is determined by monitoring the flow rate of normal engine fuel to the engine.

6/490456

Inventors:

Robert E. Flynn - Covina CA

International Classification:

F02M 3700

US Classification:

123514

Abstract:

A fuel-measuring flow system for diesel engines that provides a continuous metered flow of fuel from the storage tank to the operating engine, wherein a flow meter defined by a transducer having a metering orifice therein is located between the tank and injector pump of the engine to establish an accurate reading as to the amount of fuel being used by the engine, the returning unburned fuel being cooled and mixed with the fuel from the tank after the stored fuel passes through the flow meter. The system further includes a relay-valve device and a manifold member whereby the unburned fuel and stored fuel are mixed together prior to being pumped to the engine.

International Classification:

B08B 902

US Classification:

134 2212

Abstract:

Carbon deposits and related residue are removed from he internal surfaces of components of an internal combustion engine, particularly the fuel ports of a carbureted engine and the injection nozzles of a fuel injection engine, by circulating an engine conditioning fuel, through the engine utilizing a conditioning fuel pump, preferably driven by a fluid driven motor, for pumping conditioning fuel to the engine. The conditioning apparatus can detect leakage of the fuel pressure regulator of a fuel injected engine and can operate in both a one-line mode in which conditioning fuel flows one way from the apparatus to the engine and a two-line mode wherein the conditioning fuel is recirculated through the engine and conditioning apparatus. A preferred embodiment provides diagnostic features for checking the conditioning apparatus and certain engine components. These include a by-pass conduit between a flowmeter input side and an engine pressure regulator, check valve means to test opening pressure of the pressure regulator, a pressure control valve to restrict flow to reduce pressure below a set pressure regulator opening pressure to indicate leakage, a shut-off valve closable to provide indication of static system pressure produced by the engine fuel pump, and openable to provide indication of flow rate produced by the fuel pump.

International Classification:

F02B 7700

US Classification:

123198A

Abstract:

Carbon deposits and related residue and contaminants are removed from the fuel ports and internal surfaces of an internal combustion engine fuel system, particularly fuel injectors, carburetors, fuel pumps, fuel passages, and the like, by initially utilizing a priming pump to pump priming fuel to the engine from an external fuel source while the engine is being cranked to start the engine and then utilizing the engine fuel pump to pump a combustible, carbon removing conditioning fuel from the fuel source through the engine fuel system along a flow path which by-passes the priming pump so as to avoid restriction of the conditioning fuel flow by the priming pump and thereby increase the conditioning fuel flow rate sufficiently to permit simultaneous servicing of several engines.
