Mississippi Patent of the Month – August 2025
A new U.S. patent could streamline propane refueling. The invention, titled “Systems for refueling liquefied petroleum (lp) gas tanks,” details an innovative system. It aims to make LP gas a more accessible vehicle fuel. The technology promises to simplify refueling for a wider audience. This could change how consumers and businesses use the fuel.
A Safer, Smarter Refueling Method
The system refuels tanks with vapor, not liquid. A compressor pulls vapor from a storage tank. It then delivers the high-pressure gas to the vehicle. This vapor condenses into liquid inside the vehicle’s fuel tank. A controller manages the process. It activates valves and the compressor. It ensures a safe, efficient fill every time.
Overcoming Industry Challenges
Traditional liquid refueling has drawbacks. Liquid transfer is hard to meter. The new system uses vapor metering. This is more effective and less costly. The technology also avoids strict liquid fuel regulations. It makes home or business installation feasible. It could expand the LP gas refueling network. This invention, U.S. Patent Application No. 20250257847, is assigned to Blossman Services Inc. .
The system’s design is safe. Its built-in controls manage pressure. It stops the process when a tank is full. The result is a clean, reliable fill. The innovation helps advance LP gas as a vehicle fuel. It removes barriers to wider adoption.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
