Abstract
A fuel treatment apparatus and process is provided utilizing a blending head thereon defining a plurality of passages therein including a first passage and a second passage connected by a blending passage which includes a thermostat for blocking off the blending passage. The blending head functions to direct fuel into a fuel treatment apparatus having a settling chamber with a fuel introducing conduit passing through the top of the chamber and extending to a lower portion of the chamber to define a fuel inlet in the lower portion of the chamber. A buoyant valve is located within the conduit to permit fuel introduction during normal operation but to close off the conduit during periods of non-operation thus closing off fluid communication between the fuel treatment apparatus and the fuel tank. A fuel outlet is provided to remove the fuel after the treatment. A recess in the bottom of the chamber has a drain in the bottom thereof for the removal of moisture from the bottom of the chamber. A secondary fuel inlet is provided to permit introduction of fuel when the normal fuel inlet is clogged, for example, by the freezing of collected moisture therein.
