Methods and systems are provided for providing improving customer satisfaction during a vehicle fuel tank refueling event. A fuel system is configured with a three-way isolation valve and a four port canister. Fuel tank depressurization is expedited by directing fuel tank vapors to a dedicated depressurization port of the canister.

A fuel vapor suppression system in a fuel tank in a vehicle comprises a fuel storage compartment, an opening, an inlet check valve in the opening connected to a fuel filler pipe, and a vapor suppression device disposed in the fuel storage compartment and connected with the inlet check valve. The vapor suppression device may include a cylindrical mesh body having a pore size of no less than 1 mm.

A hermetically sealed fuel tank system includes a hermetically sealed fuel tank, a fuel pump configured to supply fuel from within the hermetically sealed fuel tank to an internal combustion engine, and a pressure regulating valve. The pressure regulating valve is disposed within the hermetically sealed fuel tank and is configured to regulate the fuel pressure of the fuel supplied from the fuel pump to the internal combustion engine. The pressure regulating valve includes a pressure regulating chamber and a backpressure chamber partitioned by a diaphragm. An ambient air introduction passage is fluidly connected to the backpressure chamber and is configured to introduce air from the atmosphere outside the fuel tank into the backpressure chamber.

A vent control valve includes: a first case shaped in a tube that forms a passage for ventilation; a movable valve object arranged in the first case to open and close the passage; an inner case arranged in the first case to support the movable valve object; a second case disposed at a lower end of the first case; a first connection mechanism defined between the first case and the inner case, the first connection mechanism connecting the first case and the inner case with each other; and a second connection mechanism defined between the first case and the second case, the second connection mechanism connecting the first case and the second case with each other.

In an evaporated fuel control device for a saddled vehicle, a canister and an evaporated fuel control valve are supported by a body frame around a fuel tank, the canister adsorbing evaporated fuel from the fuel tank, the evaporated fuel control valve controlling a flow rate of the evaporated fuel that is purged from the canister and flows through an intake system of the internal combustion engine. The canister is disposed between a steering shaft and the fuel tank and below an imaginary horizontal plane that passes a lowermost surface of the fuel tank, the steering shaft extending in an up-down direction while inclining downward to a front in front of the fuel tank.

A fuel storage device is adapted to be mounted to a vehicle, and has a tank, a pump, a fuel tube, a plurality of connecting tubes, and a vent hole. The tank has a top wall formed with a plurality of vent holes . At least one of the vent holes is arranged at a side of a first imaginary line which extends through a reference point of the top wall and which is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and at least one of the remaining of the vent holes is arranged at an opposite side of the first imaginary line. The fuel tube is for passage of fuel from the pump. The connecting tubes are connected respectively to the vent holes, and the vent tube is adapted for communicating the connecting tubes with the external environment.

Methods and systems are provided for refueling a vehicle configured with an onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) system, such that a loading of a fuel vapor canister configured to capture and store fuel vapors, is reduced. In one example, during the refueling, a rate at which fuel vapors are routed to the fuel vapor canister is adjusted responsive to an indication that the vehicle is refueling at a gas station equipped with offboard fuel vapor recovery infrastructure. In this way, loading of the fuel vapor canister may be reduced which may prevent undesired bleedthrough emissions resulting from a canister loaded with fuel vapors, particularly in examples where the vehicle is a hybrid vehicle and where engine runtime is limited, thus limiting potential opportunities for purging of the fuel vapor canister.

The cap assembly for a carbon canister fuel tank includes an outer cap and an inner cap. There is a cavity with an opening at the inner cap, and the outer cap is above the inner cap covering the opening. There is a lower vent cap in the cavity which divides the cavity into a filling cavity and a volume cavity. There is a through hole in the center of the lower vent cap with a breathing valve which would open automatically when there is air pressure imbalance in the filling cavity and volume cavity. The first vent hole is at the bottom of the volume cavity, while the second vent hole is at the bottom of the filling cavity. The first vent hole, breathing valve and the second vent hole are arranged in sequence to constitute the exhaust channel for the vaporizing oil gas in the fuel tank.

A filling head for an operating liquid tank, in particular of a motor vehicle, comprising a filling tube with an inlet end, which lies farther away from the tank, and an outlet end, which lies nearer to the tank, the filling tube for conducting operating liquid in a filling direction from the inlet end to the outlet end, a venting arrangement with an inflow end, which lies nearer to the tank and an outflow end which lies farther away from the tank, which end is provided for passing of gas in a counter-flow direction with respect to liquid flowing in the filling direction, in a venting direction extending from the inlet to the outflow end, the venting arrangement is provided, at least in the area of its outflow end, separate from the filling tube, the venting arrangement has a valve with a gas valve body, which is movable between a closed position, in which a gas flow in a valve passage is prevented, and a passage position, in which the gas may flow in the valve passage past the gas valve body, the valve having a liquid valve body, which is movable between a blocking position, in which a liquid flow in the valve passage is blocked, and an open position, in which the valve passage past the liquid valve body is open.
