ABSTRACT:
A tilt-responsive valve particularly suited for use in a fuel supply system in a motor vehicle for preventing leakage of fuel in the event of upset of the vehicle. The valve includes a closure member biased to a closed position and a pendulum control member for preventing sealing of the closure member when the valve is in a normal range of inclination from the vertical and permitting the closure member to check flow through the valve when the valve is tilted beyond a critical angle.
