Fuel Filling and Vapor Recovery System for Vehicles

A fuel filling and vapor recovery system for a vehicle is described. The system includes: a canister that is in communication with a fuel receptacle in the vehicle to collect and filter fuel vapor; a first tube that is connected to the canister; a second tube that is connected to the fuel receptacle; and a canister box that is configured for connection to the first and second tubes. The canister box includes an upper member, and a lower member that is configured for engagement with the upper member such that a watertight seal is formed therebetween to prevent external water intrusion into the canister box. The lower member includes an integral connector that is configured for connection to the first tube to allow the fuel vapor to enter the canister box.

FULL CHARGE NOTIFICATION DEVICE OF UREA WATER TANK FOR VEHICLE

A full charge notification device of a urea water tank for a vehicle is provided. The device is configured to generate a predetermined sound when urea water is normally injected into the urea water tank before a full state, to provide a notification to a user of a full state of the urea water tank through non-generation of the sound.

Tank filler tube

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.

VALVE MODULE

A valve module for an operating fluid container system. The valve module has a housing which has a first connection for fluidically connecting to an operating fluid container interior, a second connection for fluidically connecting to a filler tube, and a third connection for at least indirectly fluidically connecting to the atmosphere. The valve module comprises the following features: the first connection is connected to the second connection and the third connection within the housing in a fluidic manner in each case; the second connection is connected to the third connection within the housing in a fluidic manner; and the first connection, the second connection, and the third connection can each be adjusted independently of one another between an open position, in which fluid communication through the respective connection is allowed, and a closed position, in which fluid communication through the respective connection is prevented.

Method and system for depressurizing a vehicular fuel storage system

A method for depressurizing a vehicular fuel storage system including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being in fluid communication with a closable filler head opening, the first portion being separated from the second portion by a valve, the method including: in a first time period, depressurizing the first portion by bringing the first portion in communication with the atmosphere, while the valve and the filler head opening are closed; in a second time period, depressurizing the second portion by bringing the second portion in communication with the atmosphere; and obtaining readiness for access to the filler head opening as from the end of the first time period.

Nozzle for filling a fuel tank, comprising a liquid-vapour separator having two positions

A filling nozzle of a fuel tank including a receiving pipe and a liquid-vapor separator, includes a hollow body communicating with an intake pipe for a stream of vapors from the fuel tank, an emptying pipe flowing into the receiving pipe, and a vapor outlet pipe. The hollow body includes a separation mechanism extracting droplets and including at least one wall movable between first and second configurations. In the first configuration the movable wall forms, together with walls of the hollow body, a maze in which stream of vapors passing from the intake pipe towards the outlet pipe is forced to circulate. In the second configuration the movable wall allows the stream of vapors to pass from the intake pipe to the outlet pipe following a path that avoids all or part of the path travelled by the vapors when the movable walls are in the first configuration.

Leveling nipple for tank capable of preventing spit-back

A leveling nipple for a tank may include a first pipe that includes a curved portion discharging air inside the tank to an outlet pipe when a fluid is supplied to the tank; and a second pipe that discharges air inside the tank to the outlet pipe when the fluid is supplied to the tank and is connected to the curved portion of the first pipe, wherein the second pipe includes a diversion portion that guides the fluid flowing into the second pipe to the first pipe.

Fueling device

A channel forming member is attached to a filler neck on a nozzle insertion side where a fueling nozzle is to be inserted. The channel forming member includes a barrier section that forms an insertion flow path section for the fueling nozzle in the fuel flow path on the nozzle insertion side, while forming an annular channel surrounding the insertion flow path section so as to separate the channel from the insertion flow path section. The channel forming member further includes the following provided to the barrier section: an atmosphere communication hole for making the channel communicate with the atmosphere; a flow path communication hole for making the channel communicate with an insertion end flow path section downstream from the insertion flow path section; and a valve mechanism that prevents passage of the atmosphere through the channel in a fueling period. This contributes to reduction in introduction of the atmosphere into the fuel flow path through the channel in a fueling period.
