Abstract: A method of assembling selected modular ratchet cap assemblies. In one aspect, the method includes the acts of providing identical threaded portions, providing identical cover portions, providing a first vent module, providing a second vent module different from the first vent module, selecting the first vent module and coupling together the first vent module with one of the identical threaded portions and one of the identical cover portions to form a first cap assembly, and selecting the second vent module and coupling together the second vent module with another one of the identical threaded portions and another one of the identical cover portions to form a second cap assembly. In other aspects, the method includes assembling first and second cap assemblies with identical cover portions and threaded portions, but having different pawl members providing different cap-installing torque limits. In other aspects, the method includes providing first and second cap assemblies with similar components, but having covers or portions thereof provided with different individualized characteristics for different applications.

Abstract: A fuel storage system includes a tank, a check valve having an inlet tube, an anti-siphon device and a fuel intake tube. The anti-siphon device includes a ring defining an interior opening having a diameter. The ring abuts an upstream end of the inlet tube of the check valve, which includes an inner diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the interior opening of the ring. The ring includes and supports a plurality of fins within the inlet tube without narrowing the inlet tube to maximize fluid flow through the inlet tube. The anti-siphon device is rotatable relative to the check valve and the fuel intake tube. The shape, size and orientation of the fins are optimized to minimize flow interruption through the anti-siphon device and minimize vaporization of the fluid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel tank having at least one filler pipe (2) enclosing a refueling duct (13), at least one operational venting valve (11), at least one refueling venting valve (8) and at least one venting line (9), which is connected to a filler head (3) of the filler pipe (2). The filler head (3) comprises a valve, which when refueling closes a flow path from the venting line (9) into the refueling duct (13). One of outstanding features of the fuel tank is that the venting line (9) is embodied as a collective venting line for the refueling and operational venting and that in any switching position of the valve it communicates with a downstream fuel vapor filter (10) connected to the filler head (3).

Abstract: A tank for a cryogenic liquid is fitted with a conduit assembly that provides for flow of the cryogenic liquid into and out of the tank, venting of the tank and control of the fill level in the tank. The conduit assembly includes serpentine tubes that extend into an upper region within the inner shell. Within the inner shell, one of the tubes extends downwardly to a lower opening and provides for liquid flow into and out the tank; the other tube has an end with a downwardly facing opening in the upper region whereby vapor can be conducted out of the tank and the fill level is established. A system for effecting pressure management of the cryogenic liquid in the tank includes a conduit network that provides for pressure build as pressure in the conduit network drops and provides for delivery of liquid only to, e.g., a vehicle engine.

Abstract: A fuel vapor recovery system of a vehicle has a fill pipe inlet assembly located at a distal end of a fuel tank fill pipe. The inlet assembly has a cylindrical wall defining an elongated cavity divided axially into upstream and downstream regions by a restrictor plate which carries a hole for close receipt of a fuel supply nozzle of a remote fuel pump. During refueling of the tank, fuel vapor flows from the tank via a recirculation tube and into the inlet cavity of the fill pipe to become entrained into the flowing liquid fuel as oppose to being released to atmosphere. The fuel vapor enters the upstream region at an aperture carried by the wall disposed immediately upstream from the restrictor plate and downstream from a hood. The hood limits vapor release to atmosphere and draws the vapor downstream through a port carried by the restrictor plate for entrainment of vapor into the liquid fuel in the downstream region. Toward the end of the refueling process, any fuel welling or backing up within the fill pipe is generally limited to the downstream region of the cavity via the restrictor plate and an automatic shutoff feature of the remote fuel pump. Liquid fuel is thus less likely to enter the recirculation tube in the upstream region even if the automatic shut-off feature of the remote refuel pump should fail. Consequently, it is less likely that liquid fuel will flow into the canister of the vapor recovery system even when the automatic shut-off feature of the remote refuel pump has failed.

Abstract translation: 车辆的燃料蒸汽回收系统具有位于燃料箱填充管的远端的填充管入口组件。 入口组件具有限定细长空腔的圆柱形壁，所述细长空腔通过限制器板轴向地分隔成上游和下游区域，所述节流板承载用于紧密接收远程燃料泵的燃料供应喷嘴的孔。 在油箱加油期间，燃料蒸汽经由再循环管从罐中流出并进入填充管的入口腔，以便被吸引到流动的液体燃料中，从而被释放到大气中。 燃料蒸汽在由限制器板的紧邻上游设置的壁承载的孔处进入上游区域并且在罩的下游。 发动机罩限制蒸气向大气中的释放，并将蒸汽下游通过限流板承载的端口吸入，以将蒸汽夹带在下游区域的液体燃料中。 在加油过程结束时，填充管内的任何燃油或备用的燃料一般通过限流板和远程燃油泵的自动关闭功能限制在空腔的下游区域。 因此，即使远程加油泵的自动关闭功能失效，液体燃料因此也不太可能进入上游区域的再循环管道。 因此，即使当远程加油泵的自动关闭功能失败时，液体燃料也不太可能流入蒸汽回收系统的罐中。

Abstract: A valve includes a body; a liquid flow passage defined in the body and including a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet; a vent passage defined in the body and including an air inlet and an air outlet; a valve seat defined in the liquid flow passage; a liquid seal located adjacent the valve seat; a stem connected to the liquid seal and extending in the liquid flow passage away from the liquid seal through an aperture defined in the body. The stem includes a distal end located external to the body. The stem is movable to and from a first position where the liquid seal is mated with the valve seat and a second position where the liquid seal is unseated from the valve seat. An actuator is connected to the distal end of the stem. The actuator is selectively movable to move the stem from the first position to the second position. A check-valve is adapted to block flow of liquid from the air outlet to the air inlet in the vent passage, and to allow flow of air from the air inlet to the air outlet in said vent passage. The valve optionally further includes a surge control device and/or a keeper for the check-valve seal.

Abstract: A cap-free filler neck for a motor vehicle tank comprises a tubular part, which is connected to the tank, and an insert, which insert comprises a funnel part with a throat and a partition part adjoining the throat at the bottom. The upper edge zone of the funnel part and the partition part adjoin the tubular part in a sealing manner. The partition part has a throughflow opening which is closed in a sealing manner by a flap, which can be locked in a closed position, and can be pivoted into an open position counter to the force of a spring by a fuel nozzle. So that, despite the tight closure, rainwater which has penetrated can flow away, the space delimited by the tubular part, the funnel part and the partition part can be brought into connection with the environment via an opening in the tubular part, which opening can be closed by a valve, which is accommodated in said space, by the introduction of the fuel nozzle.
