Fillpipe Restrictor: Description and Operation
Fillpipe Restrictor
PURPOSE
The restricted opening of the fuel tank filler pipe allows only an unleaded fuel nozzle to be inserted.
CONSTRUCTION
The restrictor consists of a narrow opening in the fuel tank filler pipe covered by a spring-loaded steel flap.
OPERATION
The smaller unleaded fuel nozzle will fit through the narrow opening and push the trap door aside, allowing normal filling. Leaded fuel nozzles
will not fit in the narrow opening. The spring loaded steel flap being closed causes a fuel back-up and automatic nozzle shut-off.
