Abstract
A fuel tank inlet assembly comprising a fuel tank inlet (200) defining an opening. The fuel tank inlet is configured for receipt by an aperture of the fuel tank (400). An anti-siphon device (300) is configured for receipt by the fuel tank inlet. The anti-siphon device defines an inlet aperture and comprises an anti-siphon portion configured to inhibit the passage of a siphon tube through the anti-siphon device. The fuel tank inlet comprises a first locking portion (206) and the anti-siphon device defines a second locking portion (307) configured to engage the first locking portion so as to secure the anti-siphon device to the fuel tank inlet such that the anti-siphon device is positioned within the fuel tank inlet entirely beyond the opening.
