Abstract: A capless closure is provided for a tank filler pipe. The capless closure permits a fuel pump nozzle to be inserted into the tank filler pipe without first removing a fuel cap from the outer end of the tank filler pipe.
Abstract: A thermostatic control device according to the present disclosure is configured to control the flow of coolant fluid from a reservoir through a heat exchanging circuit and/or a bypass back to a cooling circuit pump. The device controls the flow of coolant fluid based on temperature of the coolant fluid at the device. The thermostatic control device includes a thermostatic valve with notches that allow metered flow of coolant fluid to the heat exchanging circuit during opening of the thermostatic valve.

Abstract: A fuel cap in accordance with the present disclosure includes a closure body and a valve unit integrated with the valve body. The closure body is adapted to engage a fill neck coupled to a fuel tank. The valve unit is configured to selectively vent excess pressure and/or vacuum developed in the fuel tank through the closure body to manage pressure in the fuel tank.
Abstract: A fuel tank fill assembly includes a fuel fill tube adapted to be coupled to a fuel tank and configured to receive fuel discharged by a pump nozzle. The assembly includes a tube mounting bracket for mounting the fuel fill tube in a stationary position in a vehicle to conduct fuel to the fuel tank. A process for coating the tube mounting bracket is disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a fuel tank fill pipe assembly configured to conduct liquid fuel from a fuel-dispensing nozzle to a fuel tank. The fuel tank fill pipe assembly includes a filler head assembly shaped to receive the fuel-dispensing nozzle and a filler pipe that extends from the filler head assembly toward the fuel tank. In illustrated embodiments, a coupler is included for attaching the filler head assembly to the filler pipe while blocking fuel vapor from escaping the fuel tank fill pipe assembly so that hydrocarbons present in the fuel vapor are not released into the environment.
