Fuel Tank Pressure Release Valve: Description and Operation

CONTROL VALVE\PRESSURE RELIEF
If the fuel tank should over-pressurize, the control valve incorporates a pressure relief port that allows pressure relief capability under extreme conditions. Example, if the canister vent line was to get pinched or obstructed, the relief valve would vent the pressure.
