Fuel Fill Check Valve

The fuel fill check valve is plastic welded into the fuel tank inlet; this one-way check valve prevents liquid fuel from rushing back up tube when fuel delivery is stopped. It also aids in controlling fuel tank vapors from traveling back up filler tube. It is not serviceable. If defective, fuel tank assembly must be replaced.
