Definitions

  • This invention concerns a container that is suitable for pouring an additive such as a fuel system additive into a vehicle's fuel tank
  • a user may also pry open the flap of a fuel tank using a funnel having a long neck After prying open the flap with the funnel, the fuel system additive is poured into the funnel After using the funnel, it needs to be cleaned by the user
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a container for a fuel system additive that overcomes the problems identified above with current containers
  • a container for a fuel system additive comprising a sealed first part for storing the fuel system additive and a second part that is capable of opening a flap in a vehicle's fuel tank, the two parts being capable of relative movement which unseals the first part so that the fuel system additive can leave the first part, and travel through the second part into a vehicle's fuel tank
  • the first part and the second part are preferably capable of locking together so that they become one
  • the parts therefore preferably have interlocking members
  • the first part is preferably sealed using a lid
  • the lid is preferably a screw-lid
  • the screw-lid is preferably a nut
  • the nut may, for example, be square or hexagonal
  • the second part has a receiving member which is shaped to receive the lid and lock the two parts together
