FUEL TANKER WITH WATER SEPARATOR Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B64F1/28 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft engineering, namely, to airfield fuel tankers. Proposed fuel tanker with water separator comprises haulage truck equipped with pto-box, fuel tank with filling line and control panel and fuel pump with hydraulic drive comprising hydraulic pump. Hydraulic pump is linked up with pto-box. Fuel tanker comprises also hydraulic tank and speed controller communicated via fuel line with hydraulic motor. Water separator is arranged in fuel filling line, downstream of fuel pump and upstream of fuel head. Said separator represents tight vessel of whatever shape and volume to accommodate net bag with solid adsorber, e.g. zeolite or silica gel. Note here that bag net mesh features smaller sizes that those of adsorber grains for the latter not to pour out of the bag. Aforesaid vessel is provided with cover with sealing gasket and two branch pipes arranged on its lateral opposite sides to feed fuel into water separator and withdraw fuel therefrom. Said branch pipes are communicated via filling line with fuel pump on the one side, and with fuel head jointed to onboard union on the other side.

EFFECT: water separation from fuel filled into aircraft.
