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: A cover for a filler neck includes a body portion and a movable protective door that covers and exposes an opening in the filler neck. The protective door includes a ledge that protrudes from the plane of the door so that the door can be easily moved to an open position by pressing a tip of a fuel nozzle against the door. The door itself may be biased to move into a closed position automatically when the fuel nozzle is removed from the ledge.

Abstract: A capless fuel tank filler pipe assembly includes a filler pipe and a bulkhead disposed on the filler pipe. The bulkhead includes a nozzle receiving portion. A flapper door is pivotally disposed on the filler pipe, and is biased to a closed position. The flapper door is configured to compress an annular seal disposed between the bulkhead and the flapper door. The annular seal includes a liquid/vapor sealing material bonded to a substantially impermeable material. The substantially impermeable material substantially blocks emission of hydrocarbon molecules that permeate the liquid/vapor sealing material.

Abstract: A capless filler neck creates a vapor-tight closure for a fuel system using a spring-loaded door and a latch structure that anchors the door to create a vapor-tight seal. The filler neck includes a spring that biases the door shut and a wedge arrangement that acts as the latching structure. The wedge arrangement includes a movable plate that selectively engages with the door to pull the door shut with sufficient force to form and maintain the vapor-tight seal.

Abstract: A valve is provided. The valve may include a housing defining a cavity. A first end of the housing may define an opening configured to be closed by a flapper door. The valve may further include a hinge formed integrally with the housing. The hinge may extend from an upper portion of the housing and be configured to receive the flapper door. In an embodiment, at least a portion of the hinge extends beyond the opening. The hinge may provide a pivot point for the flapper door that is at or above the opening of the housing.

Abstract: An improved liquid level fuel sender of the type having a resistor card mounted in a plastic housing affixed to the interior of a fuel tank, and a float arm assembly connected to pivot relative to the housing to slide a contact wiper over the resistor card to generate signals corresponding to fuel level. The connecting structure and bearing surfaces of the components of the fuel sender are designed to increase the stability, uniformity, accuracy and repeatability of the sender over its life. In one embodiment the plastic housing defines a first pivot bearing for the float arm assembly, and the ground terminal defines a second pivot bearing for the float arm assembly spaced from the first pivot bearing to improve rotational stability of the float arm assembly. A support arm and wiper arm assembly are mounted therebetween, the support arm connected to the float arm and freely rotating on an axial bearing surface on the housing to transfer float arm motion to the conductive wiper arm. The mounting and bearing surfaces for the support arm and ground terminal are located to improve the precision of their alignment relative to one another and the resistor card, ensuring uniform wiper arm contact forces.

Abstract: A protective cover for a filler neck is designed to discriminate between different sizes of fuel nozzles. The cover includes a body portion and a movable door that covers and exposes an opening in the filler neck. The body portion has a pair of spaced body protrusions that form a gate, and the door has a ledge that may also be formed by a pair of spaced door protrusions. The protrusions on the door can be easily moved to an open position by pressing a tip of a fuel nozzle against the protrusions. The gate and the ledge are configured so that they can accommodate the fuel nozzle for only one type of fuel.
