FUEL-FILLER CAP FUNCTION [LF]

• If the evaporative gas passage is closed for some reason, the fuel filler cap prevents the generation of positive
or negative pressure in the fuel tank, protecting it from deformation.
End Of Sie
FUEL-FILLER CAP CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION [LF]
• Consists of a positive pressure valve, negative pressure valve, spring, and O-ring.
• When there is positive pressure in the fuel tank due to evaporative gas, the evaporative gas is released into the
atmosphere. When there is negative pressure, air is introduced to the fuel tank.
• The positive pressure valve and negative
pressure valve opening pressures are higher than
the check valve (two-way) built into the rollover
valve, therefore the positive and negative
pressure valves are normally not open.
End Of Sie
ROLLOVER VALVE FUNCTION [LF]
• The rollover valve prevents fuel flow into the evaporative gas passage during sudden cornering or vehicle
rollover.
End Of Sie
ROLLOVER VALVE CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION [LF]
• The rollover valve cannot be removed or installed as it is built into the fuel tank.
• The rollover valve consists of a float, and spring.
• The rollover valve utilizes a combination of float weight, spring force, and buoyancy. When the float is sunk in
the fuel, the float (valve) closes to block the sealing surface of the passage.
