Fillpipe Restrictor: Description and Operation
NO-LEAD FILLER TUBEAll catalyst equipped models have a special filler tube. The filler tube also contains a deflector to prevent the addition of fuel by other than an unleaded fuel nozzle. Labels are attached at the instrument panel and near the fuel door reading "unleaded fuel only" to remind the operator.
PRESSURE/VACUUM FILLER CAP
The loss of liquid fuel or vapor is prevented by using a filler cap which releases under 10.9 to 13.45 kPa (1.58 to 1.95 psi). Only caps with these specifications may be used as replacements to maintain the integrity of the fuel system.
ROLL-OVER VALVE
All fuel tanks of the closed type use a roll-over valve mounted on the top of the fuel tank. The roll-over valve prevents fuel flow to the evaporative loss canister. In addition to the roll-over valve there is a one way check valve mounted on the fuel return line, in the tank, which prevents fuel from backing up into the return line from the tank. Under loss of fuel pressure conditions, or conditions such as roll-over where tank pressure may exceed fuel return pressure, the check valve closes, preventing fuel loss from tank.
