A filler pipe mounting structure that suppresses permeation of the fuel constituents and that provides ease of mounting. The filler pipe mounting structure includes a resin fuel tank including a projecting cylindrical neck; a fastening member including an embedded section and a joining section, the embedded section being embedded in the neck along a circumferential direction thereof, the joining section formed on the embedded section and exposed from an inner wall of the neck; a mounting member disposed on an end portion of a filler tube and attached to an inner side of the fastening member, the filler tube being in communication with the fuel tank; and a seal member placed between the inner wall of the neck and the outer wall of the mounting member.

The fuel tank according to the present invention is a fuel tank including a fuel supply device for pressure-feeding fuel to an engine of a vehicle; a fuel vapor treating device configured to enable adsorption of fuel vapor; a fuel tank body which stores the fuel; and a cover material which blocks an opening portion formed in the fuel tank body, wherein an inlet portion to which an inlet pipe for guiding the fuel from a fueling port to the fuel tank body is connected is fixed to the cover material in a state of penetrating the cover material, and a pipe and a wire of the fuel supply device and pipes of the fuel vapor treating device are further fixed to the cover material in a state of penetrating the cover material.

A device for filling a fuel tank with fuel, comprising a tube formed member comprising an opening at a top end thereof for receiving fuel from a fuel nozzle, the tube formed member extending in a longitudinal direction of the device; and a fuel distribution member arranged to be provided inside the fuel tank and being connected to the tube formed member at a bottom end thereof, wherein the fuel distribution member comprises first and second plate elements which are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction and extend from the tube formed member in a radial direction thereof so that a space for fuel is formed between the first and second plate elements, wherein at least one of the first and second plate elements comprises perforations located in an area radially outside of the tube formed member for allowing fuel to enter the fuel tank.

A fuel system is provided that includes a mounting block assembly configured to support an end of a fuel tank. The end of the fuel tank has a boss. The mounting block assembly encloses a space configured to receive the boss of the fuel tank. The fuel system also includes a bearing disposed in the space. The bearing has a support surface configured for sliding support of the boss of the fuel tank at an interface between the first portion and the second portion of the mounting block assembly. The fuel system also includes a sleeve. The sleeve is removably coupled to the boss of the fuel tank such that the sleeve is restrained longitudinally relative to the boss. The sleeve is configured to slide longitudinally relative to the support surface when the boss and sleeve are disposed on the support surface within the space of the mounting block assembly.

A fuel tank having a wall with an opening, the wall having a fuel impermeable layer, the fuel tank comprising a component welded to the wall around the opening, the component having a fuel impermeable layer, wherein the fuel tank comprises a fuel impermeable insert, at least partially embedded in the wall around the opening and arranged in between the two fuel impermeable layers.

A tank filler neck for a motor vehicle, and a motor vehicle having such a tank filler neck. The tank filler neck includes a plastic tube, a filler head composed of metal to enclose the plastic tube at an end thereof, and a first seal composed of an elastomer arranged on the circumference between the plastic tube and the filler head; a first seal composed of an elastomer, and which is arranged circumferentially between the first tube and the filler head; and a first supporting ring arranged opposite to the first seal in relation to the first tube, wherein the first supporting ring has a wall thickness that is greater than a wall thickness of the filler head.

A fuel tank for a motor vehicle. The fuel tank includes a tank having an external casing having an opening and a forming zone in a region about the opening, the forming zone having a first forming zone region that is deformed in comparison to a shape of the external casing surrounding the forming zone and a second forming zone region on a periphery of the opening that is deformed greater than the deformation in the first forming zone region. The fuel tank also includes a filler neck for filling the tank, the filler neck leading into an opening of the external casing and being welded to the external casing by way of a weld seam that is accessible from outside the tank, the filler neck in the region of the opening being deformed greater than the deformation than the deformation of the second forming zone region.

A vehicle shown herein is a side by side utility vehicle having frame configured to effectively transfer various loads throughout the frame as whole. The vehicle may further or alternatively include a routing tray configured to retain various fluid lines of the vehicle, a transmission including a passive duct acoustical attenuation device, a door seal configured to allow the frame to contact the seal at an angle, a modular door actuating mechanism, and/or a modular skid plate.

A system and method for dispensing fluid from a reservoir cleanly using compression and negative pressure is disclosed. The system (herein referred to as System) is essentially comprised of a nozzle and a portable fluid jug (herein referred to as a reservoir). Two embodiments have a nozzle with a compression portion that when pushed against a tank neck allows fluid to flow from the reservoir. When the tank is full, fluid reaches the nozzle and blocks an internal vent line within the nozzle. This blockage builds negative pressure inside the reservoir, subsequently halting the flow of fluid through the nozzle. An object of the System is to allow fluid to flow quickly and cleanly into a fluid tank (such as those on vehicles, motor cycles, small engines, etc.) Other objects, details and embodiments of the System will be examined in further sections of this disclosure.

A capless fuel filler assembly is attached to a distal end of a filler pipe extending from a fuel tank. The capless fuel filler assembly includes a main body, a flap valve, and a pair of stopper ribs. The main body has a fuel filler through which a nozzle of a filler gun is inserted. The flap valve is disposed in the main body such that the flap valve can be opened and closed, and the flap valve opens and closes the fuel filler. The stopper ribs project inward from an inner surface of a flow path of a liquid fuel formed in the main body. The pair of stopper ribs project inward toward each other, and regulate an insertion depth of the nozzle. The shortest distance between the pair of stopper ribs is smaller than an outer diameter of a distal end of the nozzle.
