An integrated fill system is provided for a vehicle. The integrated fill system can include a receptacle, a cap that mates with the receptacle, and a fill line that is in fluid communication between the receptacle and a container. The integrated fill system can further include a valve between an opening on an end of the container and an end of the fill line to allow one-way fluid communication for entry of compressed material into the container. The integrated fill system can further include a draw line on an opposite end of the container to maintain separate lines for filling and drawing compressed material into/from the container.

The present invention relates to a gas tank arrangement (100) for an internal combustion engine (102), said gas tank arrangement (100) comprising a gas tank (104) for containing a combustible gas, a first fuel pump (106) arranged downstream said gas tank (104) and arranged to increase the pressure level of the combustible gas to a first pressure level, wherein the gas tank arrangement (100) further comprises a second fuel pump (108) arranged downstream the first fuel pump (106) and arranged to increase the pressure level of the combustible gas to a second pressure level, wherein said second pressure level is higher than said first pressure level.

Provided is a compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system that can include a frame and at least one container. The frame can include a first side and a second side, with each side being configured to partly define a portion of an interior space. The at least one container can be configured to house or contain CNG and can be engaged to and partly encased by the frame. The at least one container can be partly located within the interior space of at least one of the first side or the second side. The frame assembly can be engaged to a chassis of a vehicle such that the at least one container is located either at least partially underneath a cab of the vehicle or at least partially behind a cab of the vehicle.

An integrated fill system is provided for a vehicle. The integrated fill system can include a receptacle, a cap that mates with the receptacle, and a fill line that is in fluid communication between the receptacle and a container. The integrated fill system can further include a valve between an opening on an end of the container and an end of the fill line to allow one-way fluid communication for entry of compressed material into the container. The integrated fill system can further include a draw line on an opposite end of the container to maintain separate lines for filling and drawing compressed material into/from the container.

A fuel supply valve for supplying fuel from a fuel tank to a fuel cell stack includes: a plunger having a hollow therein, a core part disposed on the plunger, and a block part disposed within the hollow to maintain airtightness between the core part and the plunger, and a space in which the airtightness of the hollow has been maintained by the plunger, the core part, and the block part is defined as a pressure chamber.

A vehicle fueling control system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fuel inlet conduit configured to receive a fuel dispensing nozzle, and a blocking assembly. The blocking assembly is configured to move back and forth between a fill blocking position that blocks airflow through a port of the fuel dispensing nozzle and a fill permitting position that permits airflow through the port of the fuel dispensing nozzle.

Systems are provided for an assembly for a urea tank system. In one example, coaxial tubes including an inner tube and an outer tube are used to separate a urea passage from a gas passage. An angled tube, which extends from a urea tank to a portion of the outer tube downstream of a filler head relative to a direction of urea flow directs gases from the urea tank to the gas passage. This decreases a packaging size of the urea tank system.

A set of fittings for a fuel tank including an elongated stem and a ferrule. The stem includes an elongated coupling body at one end configured to couple within a cavity defined by an end of a fuel tank liner. The ferrule includes a ferrule body having a first ferrule end and a second ferrule end; a lip defining a coupling orifice at the first ferrule end with the stem being operable to extend though the coupling orifice and engaging the lip, and a ferrule cavity defined by the ferrule body that extends between the first and second ferrule ends and opening to the coupling orifice at the first ferrule end and a ferrule opening at the second ferrule end, the ferrule cavity configured to surround the end of the fuel tank liner.

A tank filler tube includes a fill tube line which features, in the tank assembled state, an inlet end further from the tank, which is designed for temporary insertion of the fill nozzle into a closer-to-the-tank insertion region of the fill tube line, and with a closer-to-the-tank transit line end in the tank assembled state, which is designed for transit of liquid in a direction of the liquid transit line leading away from the inlet end, wherein the fill tube line is of multi-part design. At least one part of the ventilation line is for venting the gas displaced during a filling of a tank into the atmosphere. The fill tube line section featuring the transit line end extends into the insertion region further from the tank and is designed to accommodate at least one outlet end of a fill nozzle during a filling of a tank.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis having a prime mover, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, a tailgate pivotally coupled to the body assembly, an energy storage device coupled to the tailgate and moveable therewith, at least one of a non-structural conduit, a non-structural raceway, and a non-structural channel configured to contain at least one of wiring and a hydraulic line, and an impact mitigation system including at least one frame member positioned to direct impact loads around the energy storage device. The prime mover is configured to be powered by the energy storage device. The impact mitigation system provides a protected region within which the energy storage device is disposed.
