Abstract
A float-actuated fluid valve assembly is disclosed that controls fluid flow from one or more fuel holding tanks, comprising a valve body having an inlet port and an outlet port, a floating piston movably disposed within the valve body, a poppet positioned within the valve body and configured to selectively seal against a valve seat to control fluid flow between the inlet port and the outlet port, a float assembly operatively connected to the floating piston through a wire rope, cable or cord wherein the float assembly responds to changes in fluid level to actuate movement of the floating piston, which controls positioning of the poppet relative to the valve seat, and a set of compression springs positioned to bias the floating piston. The float assembly in ruggedized form includes a float cage having a top cap and a bottom cap connected by connecting rods.
