ABSTRACT:
A system for injecting an additive within a fuel storage tank or the fuel tank (10) of a vehicle (12) including an additive injector (22) mounted within the tubular inlet (14) of the fuel tank (10). The additive injector (22) includes an additive pump (46) driven by impeller blades (50) on an end of a pump shaft (48). The fuel discharged from the fuel nozzle (58) strikes the blades (50) to rotate the impeller (47) of pump (46) for dispensing the additive. The additive container (51) has an additive line (56) extending to a pump (46) for the supply of additive thereto for discharge from additive nozzle (54) into the flowing fuel stream. The additive is blended with the flowing fuel stream when discharged. The additive injector (22) may be utilized as a retrofit unit on an existing fuel tank by the removal of fuel tank cap (18) and the insertion of additive dispenser (22) within the tubular inlet (14). The additive container (51A) in an alternative embodiment is positioned in the fuel tank (10A) at the bottom of the body (24A) of the additive dispenser (22A).
