Abstract
A module solenoid valve () includes a valve body () defining an inlet opening () and an outlet opening (). The valve body includes a seating surface () at a distal end thereof. A valve member () controls flow of fuel through the outlet opening. A movable armature () is coupled with the valve member such that movement of the armature moves the valve member between a closed position and an open position. A stator () is associated with the armature. A first spring () biases the armature and thus the valve member to the closed position. A cover () is coupled to the stator. A second springis between the cover and the armature to provide a biasing force on the armature. An electromagnetic coil () is associated with the stator and armature for causing movement of the armature towards the stator.
