  • Patent number: 5868119
    Abstract: A fuel tank venting system for a vehicle comprises first and second vent passages connected to the fuel tank, and a third vent passage connected to the fuel tank. The first to third vent passages each have one end thereof located in the fuel tank at an upper front location thereof, an upper rear location thereof, and an upper central location thereof, respectively. An anti-overcharging valve is arranged in the fuel tank and connected to the other end of the third vent passage. A first valve is connected to the one ends of the first and second vent passages, and a confluent vent passage extends from the first valve toward an internal combustion engine installed in the vehicle. A second valve is arranged across the confluent vent passage on one side of the first valve closer to the engine. The third vent passage has the other end thereof connected to the confluent vent passage at a location intermediate between the first valve and the second valve.

  • Patent number: 5263458
    Abstract: A fuel feeder for an automotive engine, which comprises a fuel tank with a sub-tank provided therein for feeding fuel from the sub-tank to an engine. Excess fuel returned from the engine is led to an overflow chamber disposed in the sub-tank and thence overflows into the sub-tank. Normally, the overflow chamber is thus full of returned fuel. When the fuel in the sub-tank is brought to one side due to a sudden acceleration or deceleration or a turning of the vehicle, the fuel in the overflow chamber is also brought to the same side and overflows from the overflow chamber, thus increasing fuel in the sub-tank.
