Methods and systems for a fuel system

Methods and systems are provided for a fuel system including a fuel filler pipe, an anti-siphoning device, and a fuel tank. In one example, a manufacturing method may include internally welding an anti-siphon device to a fuel filler pipe, applying a metal coating to the welded device and pipe including the internal welds, and externally welding the coated pipe including the device to a fuel tank. The metal coating to the filler pipe, the device and the internal welds may be applied by an electroless plating process but the electroless plating may not be applied to the external welds.

CHARGE PORT ASSEMBLY AND MOLDING METHOD

A charge port assembly for an electrified vehicle includes a housing having an opening and a first interchangeable seal removably received within the opening. A molding method for molding a charge port assembly includes injecting a first shot of material into a mold cavity to form a housing of the charge port assembly, positioning an insert within the mold cavity, and injecting a second shot of material into the mold cavity to form an interchangeable seal within the housing.

Fuel supply apparatus

A fuel supply apparatus comprises a filler neck body including a fuel passage-forming structure configured to form a fuel passage and a fuel vapor port branched off from the fuel passage-forming structure; and a nozzle guide located inside of the filler neck body and formed in a tubular shape. A vapor flow path is formed to be continuous with the fuel vapor port and introduce fuel vapor flowing into the fuel vapor port in a tank direction. The configuration of the fuel supply apparatus enables the fuel vapor circulated from a fuel tank to the fuel supply apparatus to smoothly join with the flow of liquid fuel supplied from a fueling nozzle.

Fuel filler assembly for a vehicle

The second face is provided with a plurality of retention loops. The assembly includes an elongate member disposed at least partially within the first aperture. The elongate member is generally fixedly positioned relative to the bezel. The assembly further includes a movable closeout feature having a second aperture therethrough. The elongate member is disposed at least partially within the second aperture. The movable closeout feature is provided with a plurality of tabs. Respective tabs of the plurality of tabs are disposed in corresponding respective loops of the plurality of retention loops. The movable closeout feature is repositionable relative to the bezel by contact with the elongate member.

Resin filler tube and manufacturing method for the same

A resin filler tube includes: a tubular body; a flange having a diameter greater than an outer diameter of the tubular body, a thickness greater than a thickness of the tubular body, and a predetermined width in an axial direction, and having a first axial end face forming a weld surface to be welded to an outer circumferential edge of an opening hole of a fuel tank; and a base-end-side reverse tapered portion which connects between an end of the tubular body on the fuel tank side and an end of an outer circumferential surface of the flange on a side opposite to the fuel tank side, and which is reversely tapered so as to increase a diameter toward the flange. The base-end-side reverse tapered portion has an inner diameter that is not less than an inner diameter of the tubular body over an entire range in the axial direction.

Two-piece fuel filler tube assembly bracket

A fuel fill tube assembly for an associated vehicle comprises a tubular fill conduit, a receiver attached to the fill conduit, and a bracket mountable to a surface of the associated vehicle, the bracket is configured to be received by the receiver to thereby support the fill conduit relative to the associated vehicle.

11945300 · 2024-04-02 · ·

A charging or fueling recess for use in a body opening of a vehicle, which has a recess body and a hinge housing as a rigid part made of a first plastic, wherein the recess body is formed integrally with the hinge housing, wherein the hinge housing has a lower part and an upper part, wherein the charging or fueling recess also has a hinge housing sealing body as a flexible part made of a second plastic which is softer than the first plastic, wherein the hinge housing sealing body is arranged at least sectionally between the lower part and the upper part, wherein the recess body, the hinge housing and the hinge housing sealing body are produced using a two-component injection-molding process.

Capless oil feeder and manufacturing method therefor

An oil filler port of the capless oil feeder includes: an oil filler port main body made of a resin, a breather tube portion made of the resin, and a flap valve. The oil filler port main body has a tubular shape and includes a nozzle insertion port for inserting an oil filler nozzle at one end and a fuel feed port for supplying fuel to a filler tube at the other end. The breather tube portion is formed integrally on an outer side of a peripheral surface of the oil filler port main body and connected to a breather tube. The flap valve is foamed to be insertable from the fuel feed port, and is disposed inside the oil filler port main body to close the nozzle insertion port and is opened by insertion of the oil filler nozzle.

Vehicle component and motor vehicle

A vehicle component for a motor vehicle includes a coupling device including two couplable coupling elements configured to provide, in a coupled state, a fuel-tight connection of two fuel-conducting lines. One of the coupling elements is in a form of a metallic female element which is fixedly connectable to one of the two lines, and an other one of the coupling elements is in a form of a metallic male element which is fixedly connectable to an other one of the two lines. The male element, for coupling purposes, is insertable into the female element, wherein, in the coupled state, an axially extending overlap section with at least one radial seal device is formed between the female element and the male element. A securing device is configured to secure the coupling elements in the coupled state against inadvertent release from one another.
