Abstract: A method and assembly (10) to prevent the dripping of a liquid dispensing nozzle (100) after deactivation of the nozzle and to automatically deactivate the nozzle when it is removed from the fuel tank (150), is described. The non-drip valve assembly is attached to the dispensing end (104B) of the nozzle and includes a housing (12) within which is mounted a valve (14) comprised of a stopper (16) and a spring (18).

When the nozzle is deactivated, the spring biases the stopper into the opening which prevents liquid remaining in the spout from escaping. A shut-off sleeve (112) is mounted around the spout of the nozzle and has a spring and ball plunger (116) and a locating detent (124).

Abstract: A drop tube/adapter unit, mounted on the riser pipe of a fuel storage tank, defines a fuel inlet path and an annular vapor return path during a loading operation. A vapor valve, provided in the vapor return path, prevents escape of vapors when a loading operation is not taking place.

Abstract: A combustion engine system has a tank for volatile fuel with a flexible bag inside equipped with its own breather valve separate form the fill pipe for the tank. When the tank is filled, a muff around the full pipe seals the tank against exhaust of volatile vapors, and air from the bag is forced out the breather valve as it is displaced by the liquid fuel until a valve element on the bag shuts off the breather valve, whereby only pure air is vented to the atmosphere. As the tank empties during use, air returns through the breather valve to fill the bag and replace the space in the tank previously occupied by the liquid fuel, and incoming air may be dried. There is a vapor return for the automatic nozzle used to fill the tank with fuel from a stationary reservoir at the filling station and automatic means to prevent filling the tank until the nozzle is sealed in the fill pipe.
