Abstract (en)

To avoid danger of fuel leakage into bilges of a vessel's hull, the fuel feed pipe (26) from the fuel supply to the vessel's engine cauburettor (40) is enclosed within a cylindrical casing (34) sealed at one end to a fitting on the carburettor. At its other end the casing is sealed to an aperture (32) in the hull, the feed pipe extending externally of the hull between the aperture and a container (16) enclosing the fuel supply. Alternatively the casing is sealed at its other end directly to the container. The carburettor may have an annular fuel feed chamber (52) with adjustable fuel orifices connected to the feed pipe through scroll valve means (56) linked to the carburettor throttle valve.
