The fuel tank filler pipe has a seal, either mechanical or liquid, to stop vapors from escaping the filler tube. A mechanical seal is usually an annular elastomeric material through which the nozzle must pass during refueling, preventing vapors from escaping alongside the nozzle.
This valve seat closes first, before the mitre valve, and shuts off the fuel flow. As the seat is cylindrical though, the spring pressure does not hold the seat surfaces together to make a tight seal, and so the mitre valve is still needed. [3] Once the cylindrical valve has closed, the spring presses it still further down through the seat.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a safety investigation into an estimated 3 million older model Jeep Grand Cherokees Tuesday on concerns that their fuel tanks may ...
The pressure at which the control pilot relieves is the functional set pressure of the PORV. When the pilot valve reaches set pressure it opens and releases the pressure from the dome. The piston is then free to open and the main valve exhausts the system fluid. The control pilot opens either to the main valve exhaust pipe or to atmosphere ...
Vapor lock is a problem caused by liquid fuel changing state to vapor while still in the fuel delivery system of gasoline-fueled internal combustion engines.This disrupts the operation of the fuel pump, causing loss of feed pressure to the carburetor or fuel injection system, resulting in transient loss of power or complete stalling.
A hydrostatic test is a way in which pressure vessels such as pipelines, plumbing, gas cylinders, boilers and fuel tanks can be tested for strength and leaks. The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection , and pressurization of the vessel to the specified ...
The storage cylinders may be used independently in sequence using a portable transfer whip with a pressure gauge and manual bleed valve, to transfill the receiving cylinder until the appropriate fill pressure has been reached, or the storage cylinders may be connected to a manifold system and a filling control panel with one or more filling whips.
