Abstract
A manifold for distributing fuel within a fuel distribution system that is convertible between a multi-hose output design and a single hose output design. The manifold includes a main housing, and a plurality of ports connected with the main housing for inputting and outputting fuel. The ports are selectively positionable between an open position to allow the fuel to pass through the port, and a closed position to prevent fuel to pass through the port. A cover is positioned on the main housing for selectively directing the flow of the fuel through the main housing.
