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.

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.

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.

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.

A venting device for venting a motor vehicle tank that includes a filling pipe, a venting line, a degassing line, and a connection nipple. The venting line is for fluidic connection at a first venting line end to the motor vehicle tank, and at a second venting line end opposite the first venting line end to the filling pipe via a venting inlet. The degassing line is for fluidic connection at a first degassing line end to the filling pipe via a degassing outlet, and at a second degassing line end opposite the first degassing line end to a liquid separator. The connection nipple is arranged on the filling pipe upon which the venting inlet and the degassing outlet are constructed.

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.

Methods and systems are provided for nozzle guides for vehicle refueling adapters. In one example, a nozzle guide includes a plurality of protrusions adapted to center a fuel nozzle within the nozzle guide and to reduce a likelihood of over-insertion of the fuel nozzle into the nozzle guide. The nozzle guide may include features such as a rear guard and upper wall adapted to reduce ingression of liquid fuel with fuel vapor flowing from the fuel tank.

A combined force- and temperature-sensing array includes an array of drive plates, an array of sense plates corresponding the drive plates, and a layer of dielectric material separating the drive and sense plates. A diode with a forward junction voltage is connected between at least one of the drive plates and at least one of the sense plates. A multiplexer is operative to select between an electrical pulse or an electrical current for delivery to the at least one drive plate. Circuitry is provided for sensing an applied force resulting from a change in capacitance between the at least one drive plate and the at least one sense plate when the electrical pulse is delivered, and for sensing a temperature resulting from a change in the forward junction voltage of the diode when the current is delivered. The sensor array may be provided as a shoe insert for diabetics with neuropathy.

A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body turnably attached to the lower traveling body, a boom pivotably attached to the upper turning body, an arm pivotably attached to the boom, an engine mounted on the upper turning body, a hydraulic pump mounted on the upper turning body, a fuel tank mounted on the upper turning body, a work walkway provided on an upper surface of the fuel tank for the movement of a worker, and a rollover valve provided at the top of the fuel tank at a position different from the work walkway.

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.
