CONDUCTIVE TUBULAR INSERT FOR A FUEL TRANSPORT SYSTEM, AND METHOD

摘要

A conveying system to couple a first conductive polymeric tubular member (14) to a second conductive polymeric tubular member (16) such that electrical conductivity is insured in the system as described. The conductive tubular connector (18) comprises: a first end (32) havind a first annular margin (34); a second end (36) having a second annular margin (38); a first tubular body section (40) having a first circumference; a second tubular body section (42) having a second circumference; and an annular rib (44), wherein the first tubular body section (40) is adjacent the first end (32) and extends toward the annular rib (44) along a longitudinal axis, and the second tubular bosy section (42) extends from the annular rib (44) toward the second end (36) where, at a point intermediate the circumferential rib and the second end, the second tubular body section (42) tapers radialy inward forming a tapered surface (50) terminating in a second annular margin (38) adjacent the second end (36).
