Fuel Tank and Lines (10.01)
Fuel (10.00)
May 2007 Workshop Manual 10-1-7
Normal Fuel Fill - Air displaced from the fuel tank during
filling can only exit via the fuel level vent valve and roll over
valves and be forced through the carbon canister. Any fuel
vapour in the displaced air is absorbed in the carbon filter
material. No fuel vapour can escape to the atmosphere.
Clean air then exits the carbon canister, via and additional
filter, to atmosphere.
Excessive Fuel Fill - In the event of overfilling of the fuel
tank, the fuel level vent valve will close at normal maximum
fuel level. Finally the roll over vent valve will close,
completely sealing the tank. Any excess pressure in the fuel
tank will ‘blow off’ via the Ov er-pressure vent valve (part of
the roll over vent valves) in the Fuel Level vent valve
assembly.
Safety Precautions
Operations on fuel system resu lt in fuel liquid and vapour
being present in the working environment. This presents a
very serious risk and the following precautions must be
strictly observed:
Specifications
Warning
Operations on refuelling and the fuel system must only
be performed by personnel who have completed training on fuel handling.
