ABSTRACT:
A vehicle fuel system for a vehicle which has a fuel tank remote from the engine of the vehicle and a fuel pump remote from said tank and a canister in said tank to receive return fuel from a pressure regulator in said system. A fuel flow passage carries fuel from the main fuel tank to the pump. Under conditions of low fuel in the main fuel tank, a valve associated with the canister opens in response to side swerving motion of the vehicle to allow flow of fuel from the canister to the fuel flow passage leading to the pump to prevent starving of the engine due to low flow from the main tank.
