GAS CAP ASSEMBLY Abstract of the Disclosure A gas cap assembly for a gasoline tank. The gas cap assembly includes cup-shaped cap to be threaded on a neck bordering an opening in the tank. A tubular member is connected to the cap and extends inwardly of the tank with the lower end of the tubular member being generally conical and terminating in a drain opening. A plurality of ports are provided in the upper end portion of the tubular member adjacent the lower end of the cap. Located in the upper end of the tubular member is a conical member having an opening in its lower end that communicates with the interior of the tubular member. The outer surface of the conical member is provided with tangential surfaces disposed in registry with the ports in the tubular member, so that liquid and vapor entering the ports from the tank will engage the surfaces and be swirled outwardly within the tubular member, with the liquid flowing through the bottom opening in the tubular member while the vapor will pass upwardly through the opening in the conical member to the interior of the cap. A pair of domes are secured to the upper end of the cap and define an inner and outer chamber. The vapor with any entrained liquid droplets passes upwardly from the interior of the cap into the inner chamber and then through a central open- ing into the outer chamber. The side walls of the outer dome are provided with a series of openings having shields or deflectors which deflect any liquid exiting from the outer chamber downwardly along the outer surface of the cap assembly.
