ABSTRACT:
A vent apparatus of a fuel tank comprising a housing having a through-hole at the bottom communicating with a fuel tank; a valve body mounted on the housing, having a flange, vent slots and a partition wall; a lower cover mounted under the valve body, having a through-hole communicating with the through-hole of the housing and the lower space of the valve body; a ball for opening and closing the through-hole of the partition wall of the valve body; a pushing weight mounted on the upper compartment of the valve body, having a protrusion formed on its bottom to prevent adhesion of the ball to the partition wall of the valve body; and an upper cover positioned on the top of the housing, having a plurality of outlets around its periphery. The amount of the gas vapor to be discharged per unit time in proportion to the pressure of the gas vapor in the fuel tank is controlled to maintain a stable pressure in the fuel tank, and the prevention of fuel leakage via vent apparatus, in case that the automobile is overturned, is effectively enhanced.
