  • Valve for fuel supply system
    Patent number: 9441596
    Abstract: A valve for a fuel supply of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The valve may have a valve housing that defines a channel in fluid communication with an inert gas supply line at a first end of the valve housing. The valve housing may also have a first flange disposed at a second end distal to the first end. The valve may have a valve body that selectively allow the channel of the valve housing to communicate with an inner bore of a double-walled connecting element of the fuel supply system. The valve housing may also have a second flange disposed adjacent to the first flange. The first flange and the second flange define a detection gap therebetween. The second flange may have a passage in fluid communication with a detection space of the double-walled connecting element and the detection gap.
