Abstract

Provided is a roll-over fuel valve configured with a float-sealable fluid path module including a float member axially displaceable within a float housing, between an open position and a closed position. The float member is normally biased in direction of the closed position and the float member includes an open liquid chamber for collecting liquid, thus taking part in the force equilibrium acting on the float member.
