The fuel tank cap with a charcoal canister includes a fuel tank inner cap and a fuel tank outer cap. A filling room with an upper opening is disposed in the center of the fuel tank inner cap. The fuel tank outer cap is disposed above the fuel tank inner cap. The fuel-absorption substrate is filled in the filling room, and a containing room is disposed at the bottom of the filling room. The fuel vapor can be absorbed by the filled charcoal completely, and the little liquid fuel entering from the fuel tank can be stored by the containing room and recycled back to the fuel tank when the gasoline engine stops. The filtering performance of charcoal powder can be enhanced since it is exempted from long-time fuel soaking.

The mechanical breather valve includes a valve body, on which is installed one-way air inlet and outlet components. A tank, for environmental protection, is fitted with the breather valve and closed so that no volatile gas will be exhausted, when the pressure within is balanced with the outside. When the pressure within is negative, the one-way air inlet hole will draw air from outside to keep the balance of pressure. When the pressure within is increased, one-way air outlet hole will exhaust the additional air. When the tank is tilted or placed upside down, the breather valve can prevent the oil from flowing out of the tank for safe usage.

The horizontal shaft fuel tank cap with charcoal canister includes a fuel tank inner cap and fuel tank outer cap. A hollow room with an upper opening is disposed in the center of the fuel tank inner cap. The fuel tank outer cap is disposed above the fuel tank inner cap. The ventilating pipe is disposed in the hollow room and divides the hollow room into filling room and containing room. The first air outlet leading the fuel vapor to the containing room is disposed on the bottom of the containing room. The second air outlets are disposed in the center of the ventilating pipe. The fuel-absorption substrate is disposed in the filling room. The residuary fuel is drained into the fuel tank under negative pressure of the fuel tank. The filtering performance of charcoal powder can be enhanced since it is exempted from long-time fuel soaking.

A valve member provides for the flow of vapors from a fuel tank of an internal combustion engine to escape the fuel tank. The valve member may include a valve and a boss or spacer. The valve is configured to selectively control the flow of vapor from the fuel tank. The boss or spacer is positioned in a predetermined relationship to the valve, and the boss or spacer prevents a deformation of the valve from disrupting the selectively controlled flow of vapor from the fuel tank.

A fuel system, a vehicle, and a method of controlling an evaporative emissions system for the vehicle are provided. The fuel system has a fuel tank having a fuel fill port with a closure member. An evaporative emissions canister has a first port fluidly coupled to the fuel tank to receive vapor therefrom and a second port, with the canister positioned between an air intake for an engine and a vent to atmosphere. A filter or a second canister is supported by a bracket for movement between first and second positions, with the filter fluidly coupling the second port of the canister to the vent in the first position, and the filter spaced apart from and decoupled from the second port of the canister in the second position. The second port of the canister is in direct fluid communication with atmosphere when the filter is in the second position.

A vehicle equipped with a high pressure tank has mounted in the interior of a vehicle body a high pressure tank having a resin liner and a reinforced layer, the vehicle comprising a tank chamber, a filling port, a concave portion in which the filling port and a ventilation port are disposed, a fuel lid capable of opening and closing an opening of the concave portion, and a ventilation passage that allows communication between the ventilation port and the tank chamber. When the fuel lid is opened, the ventilation port is opened to the exterior of the vehicle body, whereas when the fuel lid is closed, the ventilation port is covered by the fuel lid in a state in which the ventilation port is allowed to communicate with the exterior of the vehicle body.

A fluid vent valve (1) for a fuel tank, comprising: a valve body (10) having an inlet opening connected or connectable to a tank, an outlet opening and a main chamber (13) interposed between said inlet opening and said outlet opening (12); a piston (20) inserted or insertable in the main chamber (13) and movable therein so as to define a closed configuration and an open configuration; a pendulum (30) hinged to the valve body (10) and coupled to the piston (20) so as to promote a movement of the piston (20) between the two configurations; a flow reducer (40) operatively interposed between the outlet opening (12) and the piston (20).

A tank cap structure of an embodiment includes a cap body, a grip portion, a valve device, and a ratchet mechanism. The valve device includes a valve case which has a cylindrical shape about a screw axis and accommodates a float, and a valve body which has a tapered shape thinner than the valve case and extends toward an opening. The cap body includes a cylindrical receiving portion which has a cylindrical shape about the screw axis. A seal-receiving portion receiving a seal member held between the cap body and an oil filler port portion is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical receiving portion. A valve-receiving portion receiving the valve device inserted into an inner circumference of the cylindrical receiving portion is provided on an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical receiving portion.

A refueling port is provided and includes: a refueling port main body made of resin; an inlet fitting formed in a tubular shape and arranged at an inlet opening of the refueling port main body; a resin cover formed in a tubular shape, molded separately from the inlet fitting, mounted on the outer peripheral side of the inlet fitting, and fitted to the refueling port main body; and a ground fitting formed in a long shape and connected to the inlet fitting. The ground fitting includes: an exposed portion arranged to face the outer peripheral surface of the cover; and an insertion portion formed by folding back from a first end of the exposed portion on the inlet side, sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface of the inlet fitting and the inner peripheral surface of the cover, and coming into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inlet fitting.
