FUEL INJECTOR HAVING DUAL SOLENOID CONTROL VALVES
20190186448 · 2019-06-20 · ·

A fuel injector is disclosed. The fuel injector may have an injector body having a fuel inlet and at least one orifice. The fuel injector may also have a first check valve member. The first check valve member may be selectively movable to fluidly block a first flow of fuel from the fuel inlet to the at least one orifice. The fuel injector may have a second check valve member. The second check valve member may be selectively movable to fluidly block a second flow of fuel from the fuel inlet to the at least one orifice. The fuel injector may also have a control valve assembly. The control valve assembly may be configured to selectively operate either the first check valve or both the first check valve and the second check valve to fluidly connect the fuel inlet and the at least one orifice.

Fuel tank structure
10302053 · 2019-05-28 · ·

A fuel tank structure comprising a fuel tank; a canister; a first pipe that joins together a holding portion of the fuel tank and the canister; a first shut-off valve provided at the first pipe; a filler pipe; a second pipe that joins together the filler pipe and the canister; a second shut-off valve provided at the second pipe; a pressure sensor that detects the pressure inside the holding portion; a fuel pump that feeds the fuel to an engine; and a control unit. The control unit opens the first shut-off valve during refueling such that evaporative fuel is permitted to move from the holding portion to the canister, and closes the first shut-off valve after refueling. The control unit opens the second shut-off valve when the pressure inside the holding portion detected by the pressure sensor drops below a predetermined pressure which is lower than the atmospheric pressure.
