Abstract

A fuel siphon and refill tool for an automotive fuel cell, containing a DC electric fuel pump, AC/DC power inverter and several attachments. A plastic container housing a fuel pump, power inverter and push-button switch draws fuel from a vehicle fuel cell via the engine fuel rail, or fuel filter connection. The pump then pushes the fuel to an approved container through an open outlet hose. A plurality of sources including an AC extension cord, a cigar lighter receptacle, or a vehicle DC battery powers the pump. The tool may also be used to return fuel to the vehicle by siphoning the fuel from the said approved fuel container, and pushing the fuel into the vehicle fuel cell filler neck.
