ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank sealing system for a fuel tank filler tube is disclosed in which the fuel system is sealed when the fuel cap is not installed, or improperly installed and allows pressure equalization during the insertion of a refueling nozzle. A vent valve is first actuated by partial insertion of the nozzle and allows pressure equalizing flow to bypass the refueling nozzle. A flap valve is then actuated by complete insertion of the refueling nozzle to allow fuel to enter the fuel tank.
