Fuel-water contaminant separator

Abstract

Abstract A fuel separator designed to separate water and contaminants out of fuel being used in internal combustion engines. Contaminated fuel enters the separator body by inlet port located in the upper portion of the separator body. Having a top, a conical bottom and a sidewall, and having an inlet port for fuel to be purified and an outlet port for purified fuel in an upper portion there of a pipe adjacent said sidewall extending downwardly from said inlet port, to a lower portion of said separator body and having a downward outlet at a lower end. A deflector body connected to said lower end of said pipe and extending away from said pipe at a downward angle to a C-shaped lip curving downwardly and back towards said pipe which causes the fuel to flow in a rotating motion and subsequently causes a vacuum to be formed at the conical shaped bottom of the separator body. Contaminates and water are sucked to the conical shape bottom of the separator body where they are held motionless and may be release through the bottom screw outlet. Purified fuel floats to the surface and is drawn into the outlet port, where it will be taken to the carburetor. A top screw outlet makes a complete cleansing of the separator body possible and allows for trapped air to be released.
