Fuel tank mounted refueling device
A refueling device that when mounted to a marine fuel tank facilitates refueling and minimizes the propensity for both spit-back and well back while simultaneously allowing a free flowing open pathway through which vapors generated by the refueling event may pass unencumbered.
FULLY-INTEGRATED, FLUID FLOW-CONTROL MODULE DESIGNED FOR INSTALLATION WITHIN AN ISO FILLER NECK OF A TOP-FILL DEF TANK
A fully-integrated flow-control module is designed to fit within a filler neck of a DEF tank that conforms to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 22241-4:2009(E). The flow-control module includes a breather cap that locks the flow-control module within the mouth of the ISO filler neck. A spring-biased valve piston, which is controlled by a bleed path within a bleed and float body, opens and closes to control fluid flow into the DEF tank. A fluid level float is mounted on a control rod. The control rod and a bleed valve poppet are rigidly secured to a connector beam. When fluid levels in the tank raise the float, the bleed valve poppet seals a bleed circuit escape port, thereby enabling the valve piston to close, increase fluid pressure at the nozzle, and cause the nozzle to shut off.
Opening device for urea water inlet of vehicle
An opening device for a urea water inlet may include a first body configured to be provided on an external side of an inlet of a urea filler neck; a second body disposed at an upper end portion of the first body with a ventilation gap between the first body and the second body, and provided with an internal space to be disposed above the inlet; a cover disposed at an upper end portion of the second body, and configured to receive a force to open the internal space of the second body; an opener provided in the second body, and configured to hold the cover at the upper portion of the second body when the cover is configured to close the internal space, and to release holding of the cover when being pressed toward an interior of the second body; and a membrane disposed between the first body and the second body to pass only air therethrough while covering the ventilation gap.
Capless closure assembly for fuel-tank filler pipe
A capless filler pipe closure is provided for a tank filler pipe. The capless closure permits a fuel pump nozzle to be inserted into the tank filler pipe without first removing a fuel cap from the outer end of the tank filler pipe.

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.
Fill level valve for a pressure equalization line of a fluid tank assembly and corresponding fluid tank assembly
The application relates to a fill level valve for a pressure equalization line of a fluid tank assembly, wherein the pressure equalization line is fluidically connected between a fluid tank and a filling line opening into the fluid tank, and wherein the fill level valve includes a connecting piece which can be arranged on the fluid tank. It is provided here that a dip tube, which can be arranged in the fluid tank, and which is fluidically connected to the connecting piece, originates from the connecting piece, wherein a flow resistance formed by a constricted flow cross section is provided in the dip tube. The application furthermore relates to a fluid tank assembly.
Venting device for venting a motor vehicle tank
A ventilation device for ventilating a motor vehicle tank. The ventilation device includes a filler pipe, a ventilation line, a degassing line, and a guide arc member. The ventilation line is to be fluidically connected at a first ventilation line end to the motor vehicle tank, and at a second ventilation line end to the filler pipe via a ventilation inlet. The degassing line is to be fluidically connected at a first degassing line end to the filler pipe via a degassing outlet. The guide arc member is arranged in the filler pipe to define a guide path for incoming vapor passing through the ventilation inlet into the filler pipe. The guide arc member is to facilitate flow of the incoming vapor between an inner wall of the filler pipe and the guide arc member along a periphery of the filler pipe along a periphery of the filler pipe such that a gaseous component of the incoming vapor escapes through the degassing outlet and a liquid component of the incoming vapor flows off through the filler pipe.
FILLING HEAD
A filling head for introducing operating fluid into an operating fluid tank of a motorized vehicle, where the filling head includes: A filling head housing, where the filling head housing exhibits a delivery-accommodation region for accommodating delivery devices, A venting structure, which during a transmission of operating fluid through the filling head housing allows transmission of gas, Where the delivery-accommodation region exhibits a plug-in nozzle extending along a virtual nozzle path with a plug-in orifice through which an accommodating space is accessible, Where in the filling head housing, at an axial magnet distance from the plug-in orifice, there is arranged a magnet arrangement, Where the venting structure includes a channel arrangement which is bounded by an inner wall of the plug-in nozzle and by an outer wall of the plug-in nozzle, wherein from the plug-in orifice as far as and into the extension region of the magnet arrangement there proceeds a gas-impermeable boundary surface which bounds the accommodating space radially outward, where a cross-sectional area enclosed by the boundary surface and orthogonal to the nozzle path is at least not larger in the extension region of the magnet arrangement than in a reference region located between the magnet arrangement and the plug-in orifice.
APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING SHUT-OFF OF FUEL GUN IN FILLER PIPE OF FUEL TANK
Disclosed is an apparatus for controlling shut-off of a fuel gun in a filler pipe of a fuel tank which inhibits early shut-off of the fuel gun before the fuel tank is fully filled with fuel while refueling. The apparatus includes: a retainer mounted in a filler neck of the fuel tank; a partition disposed in a space between an inner circumferential surface of the filler neck and an outer circumferential surface of the retainer and having a fuel intake hole formed in a lower end of the partition; and an early shut-off prevention valve disposed in the partition. The early shut-off prevention valve closes the fuel intake hole before the fuel tank is fully filled with fuel, and opens the fuel intake hole by fuel flowing to the filler neck from the fuel tank when the fuel tank is fully filled with the fuel.
