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

Level limit valve

A fuel intake assembly for a vehicle fuel tank is provided. The fuel intake assembly has a closure flap which opens and closes the intake opening. A sealing element and a seat on one or another of the closure flap and the fuel intake fitting cooperate to seal the fuel intake in a closed position. An apparatus is affixed to the closure flap which seals and locks the closure flap to the fuel intake fitting to prevent unwanted opening of the fuel tank.

Fuel tank intake assembly

The invention relates to a method for filling a fuel tank (,) with a filling conduit (,). The fuel flow entering the tank is directed by a through flow sensor (,) in order to control and monitor the filling process. A particularly suitable tank system (,) for implementation of said method comprises a fuel tank (,), a filling tube (,) surrounding a filling conduit (,) and discharging into said fuel tank, an adsorption filler (,) connected to the gas area (,) of the tank (,) and a through-flow sensor (,) which detects the flow of fuel in the filling tube (,).

Fuel tank system especially for motor vehicles and method for controlling and monitoring said system

A fuel tank arrangement for a motor vehicle. The arrangement includes a fuel tank containing fuel therein and having a gas space disposed above the fuel, and a venting device connected to the fuel tank. The venting device includes an activated charcoal filter and a venting conduit connecting the gas space to the activated charcoal filter for establishing gas communication therebetween. A stop valve is disposed in the venting conduit and is adapted to open gas communication between the gas space and the activated charcoal filter during refueling. Moreover, a fuel separator is disposed in the venting conduit for separating fuel from a gas flow through the venting conduit thereby yielding separated fuel.
