Abstract
A fuel transfer device for transferring fuel from the fuel supply line of an internal combustion engine to, for example, a fuel receiving vessel, with reduced loss of vapor to the environment. A fuel supply conduit includes a fuel flow control valve and a vapor recovery hood, and is connected to the fuel supply line of an internal combustion engine. Vapor is returned to the air intake manifold of the engine by way of a vapor return conduit.
