The air which is now free of hydrocarbon molecules escapes via
the dust and spider filter into the atmosphere. The layout of the
tank ventilation is designed such that trouble-free refuelling can
take place.
If the fuel level reaches the ventilation valve (30), the ball floats
and closes the ventilation pipe.
The tank pressure increases beyond the pump nozzle cut-out
pressure and switches it off. During fuel withdrawal, the fuel tank
system is ventilated in the reverse direction to prevent the
formation of a vacuum.
