A fuel supply device (FS) includes a filler neck (10) that includes a nozzle guiding path that guides a fuel supply nozzle (FN), and a fuel passage that is continuous to the nozzle guiding path on a downstream side of the fuel passage, through which fuel that has been discharged from the fuel supply nozzle (FN) passes; a fuel vapor port (23) located outside of the filler neck (10) that has a through hole (23H) that communicates with the fuel passage (11Pd); and a vapor introduction body (70) that guides the fuel vapor from the fuel vapor port to the fuel passage (11Pd). The vapor introduction body (70) includes a within-through-hole support (71) that is inserted into and held in the through hole (23H), and includes a vapor passage (71a) along the through hole (23H), and a changing member (72) that faces an opening of the vapor passage (71a) on a side of the fuel passage (11Pd), and is configured to change a direction of flow of the fuel vapor that passes through the vapor passage (71a) to the side of the fuel passage (71a). The vicinity of the fuel vapor port in the filler neck is configured compactly.

Provided is a component used in a fuel feed apparatus (500), containing: a conductive polyamide layer (25) formed of a conductive polyamide resin composition, in which the conductive polyamide resin composition contains: a polyamide resin, a conductive carbon black, an ethylene--olefin copolymer, and a conductive polyethylene resin, and satisfies the following characteristics (a) and (b): (a) initial volume resistivity of a flat plate obtained by injection forming is 110.sup.5 .Math.cm or less, and volume resistivity after exposing the flat plate to CM15 fuel for 168 hours is 110.sup.7 .Math.cm or less, and (b) charpy impact strength at 40 C. of a test piece obtained by injection forming is 2.0 KJ/m.sup.2 or greater.

An inlet check valve intended to be entirely located within an internal volume delimited by a liquid tank of a vehicle and a filler pipe welded to the tank, the filler pipe defining a downstream direction followed by a liquid filling the tank, and an upstream direction opposite thereto the inlet check valve comprising a tube and, at the upstream end of the tube, resilient means for adapting the form of the tube to the internal wall of the filler pipe. The inlet check valve comprises hook means for securing the tube to an internal wall of the filler pipe and prevent the inlet check valve from moving within the filler pipe. The tube bears a skirt ending with an edge which can merge with the filler pipe wall when the latter is welded to the tank, making the edge a seal part of the inlet check valve.

A dual-fluid receptacle for a diesel vehicle includes an outer wall disposed on an outer surface of the vehicle. The outer wall defines a diesel receptacle for receiving diesel fuel, a diesel-exhaust receptacle adjacent the diesel receptacle for receiving a diesel-exhaust fluid, and a bridge portion disposed between the diesel and diesel-exhaust receptacles. The receptacles are configured to simultaneously receive the diesel fuel and diesel-exhaust fluid from a single fluid dispensing unit. This allows an operator to fill the vehicle with diesel fuel and diesel-exhaust fluid, simultaneously, from a single fluid dispensing unit. A projection extends from the outer wall proximate to at least one of the two receptacles. The projection is configured to cooperate with an engagement feature of the fluid dispensing unit to selectively enable dispensing of diesel.

The present disclosure relates to a fuel filler apparatus/charging port apparatus/hidden handle apparatus for a vehicle. The fuel filler apparatus/charging port apparatus has a fuel filler lid/charging port lid, and the hidden handle apparatus has a hidden door handle. The fuel filler apparatus/charging port apparatus/hidden handle apparatus includes actuation apparatus and actuation apparatus control unit. The actuation apparatus includes motor, where the motor has an open position, a closed position, and an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position, and the motor is configured to drive an actuation component to move between the open position and the closed position. The actuation apparatus control unit receives an opening signal and a closing signal from a body control module, the opening signal causes the actuation component to move to the open position, and the closing signal causes the actuation component to move to the closed position. The actuation apparatus control unit performs closed-loop control of the motor based on a proportional-integral-derivative control algorithm according to a temperature, a voltage, and a position of the motor, to precisely control the fuel filler lid apparatus/charging port lid apparatus/hidden handle apparatus to move between the open position and the closed position.

A fuel tank fueling portion structure includes: a fueling pipe that is in fluid communication with a fuel tank, the fueling pipe being provided with a fueling opening; a lid that is openably and closably provided at a vehicle body, the lid in a closed state covering the fueling opening from a vehicle body outer side; an on-off valve that is provided at a flow channel inside the fueling pipe and closes off the flow channel, the on-off valve opening up the flow channel when pressed by the fueling nozzle; and a valve retention device that is provided in the fueling pipe, the valve retention device retaining an open state of the on-off valve that has been opened by pressing from the fueling nozzle, and releasing the retention of the open state of the on-off valve when the lid goes into a closed state.

A fuel inlet 10 includes a fuel inlet body 11 that is formed of resin including a reception pipe portion 20, a filler pipe connection pipe portion 30, a breather pipe connection pipe portion 40, and a fluid introduction portion 60. The reception pipe portion 60 receives a fuel nozzle 3. The filler pipe connection pipe portion 30 is located on a lower side of the reception pipe portion 20 and is connected to a filler pipe 31. The breather pipe connection pipe portion 40 is located on an upper side of the reception pipe portion 20 and is connected to a breather pipe 41. The fluid introduction portion 20 causes foamed fluid to flow along an inner wall surface of the reception pipe portion 20 while liquefying the foamed fluid, the foamed fluid flowing from the breather pipe connection pipe portion 40 to the reception pipe portion 20. The fuel inlet body 11that is formed of resin is formed by integrally molding the reception pipe portion 20, the filler pipe connection pipe portion 30, the breather pipe connection pipe portion 40, and the fluid introduction portion 60.
