GENERAL DESCRIPTION / SPECIFICATIONS
The Vapor Eliminator is an in-line self-venting chamber which is used in both portable and stationary Max fuel-measurement
systems. It is placed directly upstream of the flowmeter- separating gases resulting from the “boiling” of low vapor pressure
fuels, and removing air bubbles resulting from aeration of the fuel tank, or leaks on the sunction side of the pump. It ensures
that the flowmeter measures liquids only.
