FUEL TANK PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE

摘要

A valve structure that comprises a housing (12,14) and a valve. The housing (12) includes a first fluid communication passage (24) between a first port (20) and a second port (22). The valve is movable with respect to the housing between a first configuration, a second configuration, and an intermediate configuration between the first and second configurations. The first configuration permits substantially unrestricted fluid flow between the first and second ports. The second configuration substantially prevents fluid flow between the first and second ports. And the intermediate configuration provides restricted fluid flow between the first and second ports. The valve includes a first valve element (30) and a second valve element (40). The first valve element includes a second fluid communication passage (26) providing the restricted fluid flow between the first and second ports. The second valve element is positionable in first and second positions with respect to the first valve element. The first position of the second valve element substantially permits the restricted fluid flow through the second fluid communication passage. And the second location of the second valve substantially prevents the restricted fluid flow through the second fluid communication passage.
