Function
The main functions of the float-type rollover
valve are as follows:
– Closing-off of pipe to filler neck in the
event of rollover
– Closing in dynamic driving mode
– Closing by rising of float in valve in the
event of a brief excess of fuel in the tank
due to sloshing
Closing-off of the pipe to the activated
charcoal filter stops fuel overflowing into it.
Expansion tank
The expansion tank (capacity approx. 2 litres)
consists of a plastic housing clipped to the
upper shell of the tank.
The internal expansion tank houses a float-
type rollover valve and a small suction jet
pump which constantly pumps the tank empty
whilst driving.
