Abstract:
An anti-siphoning device for preventing the siphoning of fuel. The device is adapted for permanent installation within the intake pipe of a fuel tank, and comprises a coiled, hourglass-shaped spring mounted within a three prong tubular cage. Once installed, the bottom end of the device housing the spring is positioned such that a substantial portion of the spring lies below the end of the filler pipe and projects downwardly into the fuel tank. This arrangement permits the rapid entry of fuel into the tank, while preventing any attempt to remove fuel via the insertion of a siphoning hose or tube.
