ABSTRACT:
A fuel spill collector device having a hollow body mounted onto the spout of a fuel pump delivery nozzle, where the end of the spout extends completely through the hollow body, the hollow body having an entrance flow guide member aperture to receive the spout and an exit flow guide aperture for passage of the end of the spout out of the hollow body, there being a gap between the spout and exit flow guide member so that fuel backsplash will flow into the interior of the hollow body when the fuel filler line or tank is blocked or full. The exit flow guide seals the fuel fill fitting to prevent any spillage into the environment. When the fuel filling process ceases, the fuel captured within the hollow body flows back into the fuel line. Ribs may be provided to maintain the gap between the device and the spout.
