Fuel tank for use in a motor vehicle

摘要

A fuel tank comprising a fuel inlet pipe and a canister housing which surrounds the upper portion of the fuel inlet pipe. A valve body is arranged in the upper portion of the fuel inlet pipe. A fuel vapor passage continuously connected to the interior of the fuel tank is formed between the valve body and the upper portion of the fuel inlet pipe. The valve body has a valve portion cooperating with a cap. When the cap is screwed into the threaded bore formed in the canister housing, the valve body disconnects the fuel vapor passage from the canister housing. When the cap is unscrewed, the fuel vapor passage is connected to the canister housing.
