Rollover Valve: Description and Operation

ROLLOVER VALVE
Fuel delivery system contains a fuel tank rollover valve. The valve is mounted on top of the fuel tank. The valve functions as a tank pressure control valve while the vehicle is upright, but contains a check valve that prevents fuel from escaping from the fuel tank when the vehicle is turned over.

NOTE: The Evaporation Control System, is also considered part of the fuel system. The system reduces the emission of fuel vapor into the atmosphere.
