ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a level limit valve for the fuel tank of a vehicle. Such valves serve the purpose, that upon the filling of the fuel tank, the filled quantity of the fuel is limited. The proposed level limit valve possesses a valve body1which can be positioned within the fuel tank at the end of a filling pipe. The valve body is equipped with an intake port22which is connectable with the said filling pipe and an outlet port21emptying into the interior of the fuel tank. Further, in the valve body1is found a flap4, which is pivotally movable between a position tightly sealing the outlet port21and a position wherein this is opened. The float3is movably connected to said flap4by means of a lever rod5. The lever rod5penetrates the outlet port21at least in the opened position of the flap4and is connected by means of linkage with that outer side28of the flap4which is proximal to the outlet port21.
