The invention concerns a level limit valve for the fuel tank of a vehicle. Such valves serve the purpose, that upon the filling of the fuel tank, the filled quantity of the fuel is limited. The proposed level limit valve possesses a valve bodywhich can be positioned within the fuel tank at the end of a filling pipe. The valve body is equipped with an intake portwhich is connectable with the said filling pipe and an outlet portemptying into the interior of the fuel tank. Further, in the valve bodyis found a flap, which is pivotally movable between a position tightly sealing the outlet portand a position wherein this is opened. The floatis movably connected to said flapby means of a lever rod. The lever rodpenetrates the outlet portat least in the opened position of the flapand is connected by means of linkage with that outer sideof the flapwhich is proximal to the outlet port
