A fill limit vent valve for a fuel system includes a housing assembly, an outlet port and a flow dam. The housing assembly has a main housing including a cylindrical body and an upper housing portion. The upper housing portion has a lower wall that defines an orifice and an outer cylindrical wall that defines an upper housing chamber. The outlet port is formed on the main housing and fluidly communicates fuel vapor out of the fill limit valve. The orifice is offset from a centerpoint of the lower wall in a direction away from the outlet port. The flow dam extends from the lower wall into the upper housing chamber and connects on opposite ends to the outer cylindrical wall. The flow dam and upper housing chamber cooperating to form a liquid trap that mitigates the possibility of liquid fuel from reaching the outlet port from the orifice.
