FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

19-2-5

Fuel tank breather system (all markets except NAS)
The filler tube incorporates a tank vent which allows air and fuel vapour displaced from the tank when filling to vent to 
atmosphere via the filler neck. A relief valve in the vent line to the EVAP canister prevents vapour escaping through 
the  canister during filling. This prevents the customer overfilling the tank and maintains the correct fuel cut-off level.

The filler tube also incorporates an integral Liquid Vapour Separator (LVS). During normal driving excess fuel vapour 
is passed via the vent line into the EVAP canister. To prevent the canister from being overloaded with fuel vapour, 
especially in hot climates, the vapour is given the opportunity to condense in the LVS. Fuel which condenses in the 
LVS flows back into the tank through the ROV's.

A breather spout within the tank controls the tank 'full' height. When fuel covers the spout it prevents fuel vapour and 
air from escaping from the tank. This causes the fuel to 'back-up' in the filler tube and shuts off the filler gun. The 
position of the spout ensures that when the filler gun shuts off, a vapour space of approximately 10% of the tanks total 
capacity remains. This vapour space ensures that Roll Over Valves (ROV's) are always above the fuel level and the 
vapour can escape and allow the tank to breathe.

The pressure relief valve fitted in the vent line to the EVAP canister prevents the customer trickle filling the tank. 
Trickle filling greatly reduces the vapour space in the tank which in turn affects the tank's ability to breathe properly, 
reducing engine performance and safety. When filling the tank, the pressures created are too low to open the pressure 
relief valve, preventing the customer from trickle filling the tank. Vapour pressures created during driving are higher 
and will open the valve allowing vapour to vent to the EVAP canister.

Four ROV's are welded onto the top surface of the tank. Each ROV is connected by a tube to the main vent line to 
the EVAP canister. The ROV's allow fuel vapour to pass through them during normal vehicle operation. In the event 
of the vehicle being overturned the valves shut-off, sealing the tank and preventing fuel from spilling from the vent line.

Fuel tank breather system (NAS)
The filler tube incorporates a tank vent which allows air and fuel vapour displaced from the tank when filling to vent to 
atmosphere via the filler neck. A filler cap operated valve within the fuel filler neck prevents vapour escaping through 
the EVAP canister during filling. This prevents the customer overfilling the tank and maintains the correct fuel cut-off 
level.

The filler tube also has an 'L' shaped, stainless steel Liquid Vapour Separator (LVS). During normal driving excess 
fuel vapour is passed via the vent line into the EVAP canister. To prevent the canister from being overloaded with fuel 
vapour, especially in hot climates, the vapour is given the opportunity to condense in the LVS. Fuel which condenses 
in the LVS flows back into the tank via the LVS vent line and through the Roll Over Valves (ROV's).

For NAS vehicles with vacuum type EVAP system leak detection capability, a small tube is located alongside the filler 
tube and terminates near to the filler neck. The tube is connected to the On Board Diagnostics (OBD) pressure sensor 
in the fuel pump and provides the sensor with a reading of atmospheric pressure to compare against the tank 
pressure.

 EMISSION CONTROL - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Emission Control Systems.

A breather spout within the tank controls the tank 'full' height. When fuel covers the spout it prevents fuel vapour and 
air from escaping from the tank. This causes the fuel to 'back-up' in the filler tube and shuts off the filler gun. The 
position of the spout ensures that when the filler gun shuts off, a vapour space of approximately 10% of the tanks total 
capacity remains. This vapour space ensures that the ROV's are always above the fuel level and the vapour can 
escape to the LVS and allow the tank to breathe.

The filler cap operated valve closes the vent line to the EVAP canister to prevent the customer trickle filling the tank. 
Trickle filling greatly reduces the vapour space in the tank which in turn affects the tank's ability to breathe properly, 
reducing engine performance and safety. When filling the tank, the removal of the filler cap closes the valve and the 
vent line preventing the customer from trickle filling the tank. When the cap is installed the valve is opened by the cap 
allowing vapour to vent to the EVAP canister.

The four ROV's are welded inside the top surface of the tank. Each ROV is connected internally in the tank by a tube 
to the LVS. The ROV's allow fuel vapour to pass through them during normal vehicle operation. In the event of the 
vehicle being overturned the valves shut-off, sealing the tank and preventing fuel from spilling from the vent line into 
the LVS.
