Fuel type identifying gas cap
View Patent ↗A fuel type identifying gas cap that is configured to being operably coupled to an opening of a gas can and provide identification of the fuel type and a fuel to oil ratio of the fuel disposed in the gas can. The present invention includes a body wherein the body includes a top portion. The top portion includes an inner dial member being configured to display the fuel to oil ratio of the fuel disposed in the gas can. An outer dial member is present and is configured to display the fuel type, specifically indicating the octane level. A center portion is present in the body that is releasably secured thereto. The center portion is configured to display the month and year of the fuel deposit into the gas can. Additionally, the center portion is releasably secured in order to facilitate an operable coupling with a spout.

3. The fuel mixture identifying gas cap configured to be secured to a gas can as recited in claim 2 , wherein said outer dial member having a second indicia dial member, said second indicia dial member having indicia segments on an upper surface thereof.
4. The fuel mixture identifying gas cap configured to be secured to a gas can as recited in claim 3 , further comprising a second view dial member being movably superposed said second indicia dial member, said second view dial member further having a view window, said view window being approximately a same size as the indicia segments of said second indicia dial member.
5. The fuel mixture identifying gas cap configured to be secured to a gas can as recited in claim 4 , and further including a center portion, said center portion being releasably secured within an aperture of said inner dial member, said center portion operable to be removed to accommodate a spout.
6. The fuel mixture identifying gas cap configured to be secured to a gas can as recited in claim 5 , wherein said center portion further includes a plurality of dial members, said plurality of dial members configured to display a month and a year of a fuel deposit into the gas can.
7. A fuel mixture identifying gas cap that is operable to provide data parameters on fuel disposed in a gas can on which the fuel mixture identifying gas cap is secured wherein the fuel mixture identifying gas cap comprises:
a body, said body having a wall being annular in shape, said body having an upper end and a lower end being hollow therebetween, said body having an opening at said lower end, said body having a top portion proximate said upper end;
an inner dial member, said inner dial member being located in said top portion of said body, said inner dial member having a first indicia dial member, said first indicia dial member being ring shaped, said first indicia dial member having indicia segments on an upper surface thereof, said inner dial member further including a first view dial member, said first view dial member being movably
superposed said first indicia dial member, said first view dial member being ring-shaped, said first view dial member further having a view window, said view window being approximately a same size as the indicia segments, said first view dial member being rotatably movable with respect to said first indicia dial member, said first indicia dial member configured to provide selections of fuel to oil ratios for a user to select therefrom and have displayed in said view window of the first view dial member;
an outer dial member, said outer dial member being adjacent said inner dial member, said outer dial member being adjacent to and circumferentially surrounding the inner dial member, said outer dial member further including a second indicia dial member, said second indicia dial member being ring shaped, said second indicia dial member having an upper surface, said upper surface of said second indicia dial member having indicia segments thereon, said outer dial member further including a second view dial member, said view dial member being ring shaped, said second view dial member being movably superposed said second indicia dial member, said second view dial member having a view window, said view window of said second view dial member being sized equivalent to a size of said indicia segments of said second indicia dial member; and
wherein said second indicia dial member is configured to display an octane rating of the fuel disposed in the gas can.
8. The fuel mixture identifying gas cap as recited in claim 7 , and further including a center portion, said center portion being releasably secured within an aperture of said inner dial member, said center portion operable to be removed in order to have a spout placed within said aperture.
9. The fuel mixture identifying gas cap as recited in claim 8 , wherein said center portion further includes a plurality of dial members, said plurality of dial members configured to display a month and a year of a fuel deposit into the gas can.
