Abstract:
A non-pressure valve is provided, and includes a tubular housing having an inlet and an outlet, and a flow-through support mount disposed in the outlet. The non-pressure valve also includes a poppet slideably coupled with the flow-through support mount and extending towards the inlet, and an outlet fitting extending through the flow-through support mount and the first poppet, the outlet fitting forming a slide guide for first poppet. The non-pressure valve also includes a sliding bell disposed around a portion of the first poppet and configured to slide independently of the first poppet. The non-pressure valve functions to divert a portion of the fuel flow through a hose to the remote fuel vent.
