Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media are disclosed for deterrence of ignition of a vehicle engine ignition when a fuel nozzle is in a fuel intake area. An example vehicle includes a fuel intake area, a camera, and a processor. The example processor, in response to an ignition switch being in an on-position, is to detect, via the camera, whether a fuel nozzle is in the fuel intake area. The example processor is to deter ignition of a vehicle engine when the fuel nozzle is in the fuel intake area.

Methods and systems are provided for enabling a vehicle operator to select a desired amount of fuel to add to a fuel tank, and wherein overfilling of the tank is prevented by pressurizing the fuel system with an onboard pump. In one example, the tank may be sealed to induce an automatic shutoff of a refueling dispenser if the fuel level is below the capacity of the tank, and in another example, wherein it is indicated that the tank is full, the fuel system may be pressurized via the pump to induce automatic shutoff of the refueling dispenser and to prevent further overfilling of the tank. In this way, vehicle operators may add desired amounts of fuel to the tank wherein shutoff of the refueling dispenser is automatic, and wherein liquid fuel entering an evaporative emissions control system as a result of overfilling a fuel tank is prevented.

The present invention discloses a filling device (1) for a motor vehicle operating fluid container (3). The filling device (1) comprises a mouth hole connection piece (11), into which a dispensing valve (40) can be introduced in order to fill the operating fluid container (3). The filling device (1) further comprises a compensation chamber (24) to which the mouth hole connection piece (11) is connected in fluid terms. A connection piece (21) of the filling device (1) is arranged between the operating fluid container (3) and the compensation chamber (24) and is connected in fluid terms to the operating fluid container (3) and the compensation chamber (24). The filling device (1) is distinguished in that the connection piece (21) protrudes into the compensation chamber (24), the connection piece (21) is arranged so as to face the mouth hole connection piece (11) and to be spaced apart therefrom, the connection piece (21) is surrounded by the compensation chamber (24), and a dispensing valve (40) can be introduced through the mouth hole connection piece (11) into the connection piece (21).

The present invention relates to a filler head (100) for a liquid tank in a motor vehicle with a housing (103), with a first molded housing part (103-1) having formed therein a tank vent pipe (105) for introducing air into the housing (103); and a second molded housing part (103-2) having formed therein a dip tube (107) for guiding a jet of liquid in the interior of the filler head (100), the dip tube (107) including a vent opening (111) for discharging from the filler head (100) the air that may be introduced through the tank vent pipe (105).
