ABSTRACT:
A fuel spill collector device for connection between a fuel line and fuel fill fitting, for collecting fuel inserted into the fuel line by a fuel pump nozzle. The fuel spill collector device includes a hollow body having an open top end and an open bottom end; a nozzle receiving member positioned at the open bottom end of the hollow body and connected to the fuel line for receiving the fuel pump nozzle during fueling; and an entrance flow guide member positioned at the open top end of the hollow body connected to the fuel fill fitting for releasably sealing the fuel pump nozzle inserted therein. The fuel pump nozzle is positioned to extend through the entrance flow guide member, the hollow body and the nozzle receiving member to pump fuel into the fuel filler line, wherein a fuel back splash will be caught within the hollow body. The releasable seal between the entrance flow guide member and the fuel pump nozzle will prevent any fuel from exiting the hollow body, suppress fumes and greatly decrease fueling time by utilizing venturi and gravitational return effects.
