Attwood has designed portable fuel system components that help manage the pressure buildup inherent in today’s EPA compliant fuel systems. This comprehensive tank to engine solution with fuel tank, universal spray less connector, fuel demand valve, primer bulb and fuel line kit ensures EPA compliance and proper engine performance.
EPA compliant fuel systems are now sealed to prevent vapor emissions. As a result pressure can buildup in the tank and cause it to expand. Attwood’s portable fuel tanks use low permeation, automotive grade materials and multilayer construction that withstand the expansion from pressure buildup as well as temperature extremes and abuse.
An automatic vacuum valve in the cap ensures proper fuel flow and eliminates the need for a manual vent. To illustrate the performance, this demonstration shows an Attwood tank expanding at various pressure levels. Clearly Attwood tanks can safely handle the inevitable pressure buildup in today’s sealed portable fuel systems. In fact during testing our tanks maintain their stability up to 20 psi. There may be times when it’s necessary to remove the cap while the tank is under pressure. This is done safely by unscrewing the cap one full turn to relieve the pressure and then waiting five seconds before completely removing the cap from the tank.
Put your mind at ease and enjoy your time on the water with Attwood’s complete line of EPA certified portable fuel system components.
