Fill Control/Vent System

Fill limiting is accomplished through the configuration of the fill neck and/or internal vent lines within the fill neck and tank. The vent system is designed to permit air space in 10-12 percent of the tank when the tank is filled to capacity.

The air space provides for thermal expansion of fuel as well as being an aid to the in tank vapor vent system.
