Abstract:
A fuel shutoff valve is attached to the upper portion of a fuel tank and shuts off the communication between the inside of the fuel tank and a canister by opening and closing a vapor passage for communicating between the fuel tank and the canister. The fuel shutoff valve is configured with a first valve mechanism having a coil disposed on the inner periphery of a cylindrical valve chamber and a movable core, which enables to communicate between the fuel tank and the canister by lowering the level of the movable core, and a second valve mechanism which enables to communicate between the fuel tank and the outside thereof by shifting the level of the valve body which is disposed inside the movable core due to the pressure from the inside of the fuel tank or the outside thereof.
