A power transmission belt comprising a belt body having a length and defining at least one elongate rib, the rib having an exposed surface that engages a cooperating pulley, the exposed rib surface having at least one longitudinal groove formed therein which reduces transverse modulus of the surfaces engaging the cooperating pulley and thereby reduce noise accompanying running of the belt.

A fuel fill system includes a funnel having an inlet port configured to receive a nozzle from an external fuel source, a fuel filler tube coupled to an outlet port of the funnel, and a vapor recirculation tube coupled to the funnel. Fuel vapor entering the funnel from the vapor recirculation tube is directed toward the outlet port at a first angle less than 90&#xb0; from a longitudinal axis of the funnel. The fuel vapor entering the funnel may also be directed at a second angle less than 90&#xb0; from a line tangent to an inner surface of the funnel at a point where fuel vapor enters the funnel. The second angle being in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the funnel.
