Eaton said that its hybrid fuel tank isolation valve enables fuel vapor containment within the tank until the engine is available and prevents canister saturation and hydrocarbon leakage. The valve design allows for tank venting, minimizing refueling splash-back caused by high fuel tank pressures.
Julie Tolley, general manager of fuel emissions and powertrain controls at Eaton’s Vehicle Group, said: “The Fuel Tank Isolation Valve also has an available integrated pressure sensor that can be used for fuel system leak detection and purge control. Optional temperature sensing is added for system monitoring and control.
“It features flexible mounting and porting options, configurable electrical connections and variable pressure and flow settings that allow the system to be customized to meet the demands of auto manufacturer’s specific hybrid packaging requirements.”
