The design is a draw and return tube fuel assembly that is used in a commercial vehicle fuel tank. A left hand version is used in a left hand fuel tank on the commercial vehicle and a right hand version is used in a right hand fuel tank on the commercial vehicle. The left hand version and the right hand version of the draw and return tube fuel assembly are mirror images of one another. The design claimed in this design patent covers both left hand and right hand versions of the draw and return tube fuel assembly even though only one version is shown for ease of illustration.
