FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION
CHU011642990S02
Construction
Since the shut-off valve is press-fit to the top of the fuel tank, it cannot be disassembled.
The shut-off valve mainly consists of a valve, float, spring, and by-pass valve.
Operation
During refueling or due to fuel sloshing, the float is flooded with fuel and the floating force causes the valve to
close. Also, during vehicle rollover, the valve closes due to balance between the float gravity and spring
pressure.
The float rises during refueling, locks after refueling is completed, and returns to the original position by its own
weight when the fuel level decreases. Due to this, the evaporative emissions in the fuel tank can be released
through the charcoal canister.
